"Waiting on" Wednesday: "Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader" Edited by Cassandra Clare

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly even hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we're super excited about. This week, my pick is:

Shadowhunters and Downworlders

Edited by Cassandra Clare

Expected Publication Date: January 29, 2013

Join Cassandra Clare and a Circle of top YA authors as they explore the world of the Mortal Instruments!

Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series, epic urban fantasy set in a richly imagined world of shadowhunters, vampires, werewolves, fairies, and more, has captured the imaginations and loyalty of hundreds of thousands of YA readers.

In Shadowhunters and Downworlders, Clare and more than a dozen top YA writers, including New York Timesbestsellers Holly Black, Rachel Caine, and Kami Garcia, write about the series, its characters, and its world.

Inside you’ll read:

A cinematic tutorial on why the best friend (Simon) always loses out to the bad boy (Jace)

The benefits (no, really!) of incest . . . at least in literature What we can read between the lines of Alec and Magnus’ European vacation The importance of friendship, art, humor, and rebellion And more, from the virtues of Downworlders to the naughty side of Shadowhunting.

This book  has been calling to me ever since I learned of it's existence on goodreads. I can't wait to read it!

This is my "Waiting on", what's yours?
