Seeking Mansfield by Kate Watson is our latest Waiting on Wednesday. I stumbled on this book while scrolling through Goodreads, and it could not be more up my alley. It’s a modernization of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, and they’ve made Fanny Price an aspiring theatre director. It kinda has me written all over it. I am…
Waiting on Wednesday: A Conjuring of Light
The third and final (!) installment of this story told in a universe of multiple London’s defined by their colors – Red London, White London, Grey London and Black London – “A Conjuring of Light” was officially released yesterday. We will finally catch up with Kell, Prince Rhy and Delilah Bard and watch as the…
Waiting on Wednesday: Alex Approximately
I barely had to finish the first sentence before I was in. The late 90’s film YOU’VE GOT MAIL, is a clever example of how important and deep falling in love with someone’s mind is. This book sounds romantic, fun, and above all uplifting. I am constantly on the lookout for new authors, and contemporary…
Waiting on Wednesday: The Inexplicable Logic of My Life
I stumbled on Benjamin Alire Sáenz‘s previous book – Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets to the Universe – a couple summers ago and absolutely fell in love with his lyrical writing style. His work is YA done with painfully beautiful prose – so beautiful it is hard not to fall in love with his…
Waiting on Wednesday: Hunted by Meagan Spooner
Okay. Seriously. How good does this book sound??? Not only is HUNTED a retelling of my all time favorite fairy tale – it’s written by one of my fave authors, Meagan Spooner! Spooner has been a apart of the team that has brought me (and, I suppose us) the STARBOUND series. To say I’m excited…
Waiting on Wednesday: #famous by Jilly Gagnon
Okay, basically why wouldn’t I be waiting on this one? It has all my favorite things: dual point of view, romance, I imagine some humor. I love books like this, clearly feel good – and often just what I need. Reading the synopsis of #famous seems very indicative of today’s society. We are all on…
Waiting on Wednesday: Long Way Home by Katie McGarry
I feel like I’m constantly waiting on the next book from Katie McGarry. And as we head into Fall 2016, suddenly January 2017 doesn’t seem that far away for “Long Way Home.” Starting from her first book “Pushing the Limits,” McGarry has been a must read, and an auto-buy for me. I love her style…
Waiting on Wednesday: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
There are few books this year that I am anticipating as much as Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. Her previous Grisha trilogy was an amazing introduction to the Grishaverse, but she had me completely hooked with her newest tale from the Grishaverse – Six of Crows (published last year). We’re introduced to a motley cast…
Waiting on Wednesday: Everyone We’ve Been by Sarah Everett
Every so often I add a random book to my “to be read” shelf on Goodreads based on nothing but a cover. The for Everyone We’ve Been cover caught my attention straightaway, and I’m glad it did. The synopsis sounds absolutely intriguing, and unlike so many books I come across on my hunt for a…
Waiting on Wednesday: The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia
Oh boy, am I waiting on “The Lovely Reckless” by Kami Garcia. I can’t remember precisely when I first heard about it, but I keep trying to trick myself into thinking the publication date is closer than it feels! Frankie moves in with her undercover cop father – changing schools, and lifestyles. She meets street…
