So I decided to do my own version of Waiting on Wednesday. Waiting on Wednesday is a way to showcase books that are not yet released but excited to see they are coming out. It's hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. My version isn't for just books that haven't come out yet but any book that I am wishing to get. Each week I'll put up a book that I'm "Wishing for" or "Waiting on". I just kind of like the name Wishing for Wednesday better. : )
This week is a book that I'm "Waiting on":
Summary from Robyn Schneider.com:
"Henry Grim has never been in trouble for borrowing a sword from the headmaster’s private stores. He has never discovered a forbidden room in a foreign castle or received a death threat over breakfast.
All Henry knows is life as an orphaned servant boy at the Midsummer School, bullied by the privileged sons of aristocracy. But all that changes when Henry is the first commoner to pass the entrance exam for the prestigious Knightley Academy, where he will be trained as a modern-day knight alongside the cleverest and bravest fourteen-year-olds in the country.
Henry and his roommates, two other students from decidedly un-Knightley backgrounds, are not exactly greeted with open arms by their classmates. In fact, it soon becomes apparent that someone is going to great lengths to sabotage the trio’s chances at becoming knights. But Henry soon learns that there is more at stake than his future at Knightley, and only Henry can sound the alarm. Is anyone going to believe a former servant on the brink of expulsion?"
Release date: March 9, 2010
I honestly can't wait to get my hands on this book in March. I met the author Violet (a.k.a. Robyn Schneider) back in May at BEA in NYC. She told us about her book and proudly displayed the cover art on her cell phone. Then she proceed to give us autographed Violet Haberdasher bookmarks (and I still have mine!). Since May, the cover of the book has changed like 2 or 3 more times and each time it looks better than the one before! I've been waiting to post Knightly Academy as my Wishing for Wednesday post for a while now. It sounds like SUCH a good book, and I'm not saying that because I've met the author. Tamora Pierce called the book "Steampunky, subversive and enthralling!" and that makes me want to read it even more than before! So, I know what book I'll be reading this spring.
What are you Waiting on or Wishing for this week?

The objects which are closer are darker and more saturated but you made the people furthest away, darker….besides, that’s a design element, not a “rule.This can be easily negated by other elements of the composition.
