It's easy to participate in this meme--all you need to do is post the title(s) you're frothing at the mouth to read.   We haven't posted  Waiting on Wednesday picks in some time but when we saw these covers go up, we knew we had to. Here is what we're waiting for this week: This is all I need to see to have heart palpitations: the third Vampire Empire book by Clay and Susan Griffiths. There's no blurb, yet, but I can't wait to see what happens in Equatoria. Look at that cover!

And get a look at those vampires--not a sparkling one in the mix. I am so waiting patiently for this book. The Kingmakers (Prometheus) should be out the first week of September. Add this to your Goodreads . I'm all too aware of co...
