"Waiting On" Wednesday - October 7, 2009

This weekly event is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My can't wait to read book is Blacklands by Belinda Bauer:



Release Date: January 5, 2010
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

From publisher:
A psychological thriller about the cat-and-mouse game between a boy desperately seeking the truth about this uncle's murder and the murderer himself.


From Publisher's Weekly website:

Editor Marysue Rucci calls Blacklands “the best psychological suspense I've read in years—think The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time meets The Silence of the Lambs. This novel is fiendishly imaginative and terrifying—and compulsively readable.
