Hauntings are our business ...
Ghosts crowd the streets and houses of London. Anthony Lockwood, with his slightly grumpy deputy George, and his junior field operative Lucy, make up LOCKWOOD & CO, the small, shabby yet talented ghost-hunting agency.
After a series of calamitous investigations into the supernatural go awry, the team are desperate to prove themselves. Their opportunity comes in the form of a terrifying ghost, the Red Duke. But little do they know what perils lie in store for them at the haunted Bliss Hall ...
Synopsis from goodreads.com
Ghost-hunters! in London! In a story from Jonathan Stroud! Sorry, but this warrants multiple exclamation marks. The Bartimaeus series was and still is an absolute favourite of mine since I can’t resist well-written snarky characters. And Jonathan Stroud definitely is a master of snark. I’ll admit that I’ve already had a look at an early copy (and wasn’t allowed to take it home, sadness) and from the bits I saw it’s promising to be great, Really great.
Let us know about the books you are excited about this week in the comments.

I have to agree. There are a lot of attractive elements to this one. I look forward to reading this one at some point as well.
I Can't Wait to Read...
I am not sure I would be able to read this one, I am not a fan of the supernatural. However if I were a fan it does seem like a great choice in a book. Here is the link to my WoW: http://meandu-justthinking.blogspot.ca/2013/08/waiting-on-wednesday-4.html
