“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that book bloggers are eagerly anticipating.

Jackaby is one of those books that cleverly crosses the threshold of age branding, delivering a quick and entertaining read with a Dr. Who meets Sherlock Holmes in William Ritter's sleuthing character - the eccentric R. F. Jackaby. There's plenty of satire, supernatural shenanigans, and a mad serial killer on the lose to keep adults intrigued, and as eager in anticipation as their younger reading counterparts.

With The Spiritglass Charade, Once again readers are whisked away to a Steampunk, Victorian London where two heroines, Evaline Stoker (sister to Bram Stocker) and Mina Holmes (niece of Sherlock Holmes) are back - solving mysteries, fending off vampires, and finding a few kisses along the way - nothing these two ladies can't handle all in a day's work.
