"Waiting On" Wednesday

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


For this week, I am eagerly anticipating -


Splintered - A.G. Howard
January 1, 2013








"For sixteen years, Alyssa Gardner has lived with the stigma of being descended from Alice Liddell—the real life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s famed novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But cruel jokes about dormice and tea parties can’t compare to the fact that Alyssa hears the whispers of bugs and flowers... the same quirk which sent her mother to a mental institution years before.

When her mother takes a turn for the worse and the whispers grow too strong for Alyssa to bear, she seeks the origins of their family curse. A set of heirlooms and a moth tied to an unusual website lead Alyssa and her gorgeous best friend / secret crush, Jeb, down the rabbit hole into the real Wonderland, a place more twisted and eerie than Lewis Carroll ever let on.

There, creepy counterparts of the original fairytale crew reveal the purpose for Alyssa’s journey, and unless she fixes the things her great-great-great grandmother Alice put wrong, Wonderland will have her head."



Last week I posted about a different 'Alice in Wonderland' type novel and I am loving that they are coming out everywhere!
This novel is gaining popularity long before it is even released! The cover is stunning and the synopsis is super intriguing and I am jumping on the bandwagon of everyone with grabby hands wanting this fabulous story!


What about you guys? What are you waiting on?

  2. Loveeee that cover! I can't wait to read this one; creepy and mysterious, just my kind of read. :) I'm thinking I should read the original Alice in Wonderland first (which I can't believe I've never read!). Great pick!
