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: 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…
Waiting on Wednesday: Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige
I am waiting on STEALING SNOW by Danielle Paige. I fell in love with Paige’s DOROTHY MUST DIE series, a beautiful dark and gritty reboot of Oz. This time, she’s tackling Hans Christian Anderson’s “Snow Queen,” a story I’ve loved for years, and the synopsis promises to take the story to some exciting places. I…
Waiting on Wednesday: Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
This week I’m waiting on GEMINA. Though to be perfectly honest I’ve been waiting on this sequel since the fantastic ILLUMINAE. I love that this sequel seems to take cues from Kaufman’s other collaboration — STARBOUND — wherein we are going to be introduced to a whole new couple to root for! I love series…
Waiting On Wednesday: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
I went to BEA in Chicago last week and was lucky enough to meet Laini Taylor at a NOVL brunch to launch her upcoming new fantasy novel STRANGE THE DREAMER. I loved Taylor’s previous trilogy DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE and am eagerly awaiting to read STRANGE THE DREAMER. Even though we only received a sample to read…
