Waiting on Wednesday - 2/24

Okay "Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week my WoW book is "Discord's Apple" by Carrie Vaughn.  Another Carrie Vaughn book, this one is supposed to be a stand alone adult urban fantasy (separate from the Kitty Norville series).  It sounds good to me and I am excited to read it!
Discord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn
Pages: 304 pages
Publisher: Tor Books
Release Date: July 20th, 2010

Synopsis (from Paperbackswap.com):
"When Evie Walker goes home to spend time with her dying father, she discovers that his creaky old house in Hope’s Fort, Colorado, is not the only legacy she stands to inherit. Hidden behind the old basement door is a secret and magical storeroom, a place where wondrous treasures from myth and legend are kept safe until they are needed again.

The magic of the storeroom prevents access to any who are not intended to use the items. But just because it has never been done does not mean it cannot be done. And there are certainly those who will give anything to find a way in. Evie must guard the storeroom against ancient and malicious forces, protecting the past and the future even as the present unravels around them. Old heroes and notorious villains alike will rise to fight on her side or to undermine her most desperate gambits. At stake is the fate of the world, and the prevention of nothing less than the apocalypse."
