Waiting on Wednesday (28): Hero

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is Hero by Mike Lupica.  It's due out on November 2, 2010 from Penguin.

Book Description

Fourteen-year-old Zach Harriman can feel the changes. The sharpening of his senses. The incredible strength. The speed, as though he can text message himself across miles. The confidence and the strange need to patrol Central Park at night. His dad had been a hero, a savior to America and a confidante of the president. Then he died, and the changes began in Zach. What Zach never knew was that his father was no ordinary man--he was a superhero, battling the world's evil. This is a battle that has been waged for generations and that knows no boundaries.  And now it's Zach's turn to take on the fight. It's Zach's turn to become a hero.

Teaser Tuesdays (27): American Vampire

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme that was started by MizB from Should Be Reading.

If you would like to participate in Teaser Tuesday, all you have to do is take the book that you are currently reading and open it to any page. Then you choose any two (2) sentences from that page to share with the rest of us!

This weeks teaser comes from Chapter 2 (no page numbers) of American Vampire Vol. 1 by Scott Snyder and Stephen King.

See sometimes, when the blood hits someone new, from somewhere new...it makes something new.  With a whole new bag of tricks, get it?

Leave us a link to your teaser, we'd love to see it!
