Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, originally started by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that highlights upcoming book releases everyone is waiting on...hence the title. This week's pick is Infinityglass by Myra McEntire.  Here's the synopsis:

The stakes have risen even higher in this third book in the Hourglass series.

The Hourglass is a secret organization focused on the study of manipulating time, and its members — many of them teenagers -­have uncanny abilities to make time work for them in mysterious ways. Inherent in these powers is a responsibility to take great care, because altering one small moment can have devastating consequences for the past, present, and future. But some time trav­elers are not exactly honorable, and sometimes unsavory deals must be struck to maintain order.

With the Infinityglass (central to understanding and harnessing the time gene) at large, the hunt is on to find it before someone else does.

But the Hourglass has an advantage. Lily, who has the ability to locate anything lost, has determined that the Infinityglass isn't an object. It's a person. And the Hourglass must find him or her first. But where do you start searching for the very key to time when every second could be the last?

I will admit three things to you.  Firstly, I love the covers for this book series.  Secondly, I am desperately behind in this series simply because I want to go back and re-read the first book before reading the sequel so I can stay on track with what's going on and haven't found the time to do that yet!  And last but not least, if there was some way I could adopt Myra into my family, I totally would.  I am pre-ordering this as I write (which is actually weeks before this post goes live) and I definitely want this book on my shelves!

Infinityglass is published on 9th July, 2013.
