Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event from Jill at Breaking the Spine. To participate, simply share that book(s) you are eagerly awaiting the release of and report back to Breaking the Spine with the link to your post.

This week I am waiting on The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. It will hit stores on October 18th and comes from Scholastic. This picked this book for WoW this week due to the discussion I attended on Sunday. Hearing Maggie talk about this book elevated my interest even further and has left me feeling anxious for the release date. October is my favorite month as it is, but with such awesome books coming out during that month this year, it's going to be even better.
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
