Can't-Wait Wednesday, September 27th

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released.  

This is my first time participating in this book meme.  I used to post to WOW almost every week until it stopped updating so I'm excited to start again!

I love cozy mysteries.  Especially those with just a touch of the supernatural and a little bit of romance.  I picked up the first book of the Magic and Mixology series last year and flew through the first three books.  They are just light and funny with quirky, likable characters.  The fourth book comes out November 2nd and I'm really looking forward to it.  :)

This is the synopsis of the first book in the series, Hex on the Beach:

Lily Locke has never believed in witches and wizards, ghosts and magic, shifters and vampires— A rising star at a hotshot marketing agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota, all Lily knows is that she’s a PowerPoint guru, an Excel ninja, and a coffee-maker extraordinaire. Not to mention she’s next in line for a huge promotion.

All that changes when Lily’s assistant delivers a strange quiz to her, one titled A Magical Assessment for Normal Folks. With it comes the promise of a land she's never known existed. A land where Lily not only discovers her biological family for the first time, but a place where she can make a difference, change lives, and step into the role she’s destined to fulfill.

But first, Lily must admit she’s a witch. Then, she has to acknowledge that the tall, dark, and mysterious man who offers his help is strictly focused on business...at least, for now. When a body turns up dead and the next target is Lily, she must trust her powers and accept the help of her newfound friends. Otherwise, she'll never survive the trials of the magical island tucked far, far away in the frigid waters of Lake Superior. 

Welcome to The Isle. 

What are you waiting for?

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at the Book Date and is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are, and are about to be reading over the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit, comment on other blog posts, and add to that ever growing TBR pile! 

I hate to admit it, but since school started I have been so busy working with teachers to plan and integrate technology, that I am now officially behind in my reading. Today, I plan to get back on track.  This is the perfect way to start!

What I recently finished:

The Dark Days Club was an audiobook, which was my only reading format for the past month.  Loved it! It has my favorite setting in 1800's London, engaging characters, mystery, and a bit of the supernatural without going overboard.  A lot of fun and I'm only sorry that I waited so long to grab it!






What I'm reading now:

The Dark Days Pact was also an audiobook.  I find that when I love an audio narrator, I want to keep the story in that voice.  I'm enjoying this second book in the series just as much as the first and can't wait to see how it ends.  Of course, then I have to wait months for the third book... :(

Neverwhere is where I left off in print in August.  I may have to go back a chapter or two to refresh my memory but do look forward to getting back into this story.  Gaiman is such a great writer.  I hear this is now a BBC radio show so I have something to look forward to when I finish the book.  







What I'm reading next:
I have a ton of books on my TBR list but only 3 that are in my "top priority to read next" list...

What are you reading?
