Waiting on Wednesday!

Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore- to be released Winter 2009
Magic steeps the gas-lit lanes of New Sweeling, where Nimira is a foreign singer, paid barely enough to survive. When wealthy sorcerer Hollin Parry hires her to accompany a piano-playing clockwork automaton, she thinks her savior has arrived.

Hollin may treat her with the kindness and respect she’s yearned for, but buried secrets stir–including a rumor he may have murdered the former head of the Sorcerers’ Council on the brink of a peace treaty with the fairies. Nimira discovers the spirit of a dashing fairy gentleman named Erris is trapped inside the automaton’s stiff limbs, waiting for someone to break his curse. As Nimira and Erris fall into a love that seems hopeless, Nimira must uncover the truth behind the councilman’s disappearance, or not just her fate, but all the magical world may be in peril…

Why I want to read this book- It sounds like a wonderful fantasy and the cover looks absolutely awesome. What more is there to say?
