Waiting on Wednesday 1/13/10
Posted on 13 January 2010
Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
The book I am eagerly anticipating this week is Heist Society by Ally Carter.
When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own–scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.
Soon, Kat’s friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat’s father isn’t just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.
For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it’s a spectacularly impossible job? She’s got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in history-or at least her family’s (very crooked) history.
I love the Gallagher Girl books, so I’m really excited to see what Ally Carter has to offer with new characters!

About Me
Hi - I'm Jenna and I like to read! I'll read just about anything from romance to science fiction. Lately I've been reading most YA and my thoughts on those books are the main focus of this blog. I live in Atlanta and have an adorable dog.
