"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
Book One of the Strange the Dreamer series
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: September 27, 2016
Summary (from Goodreads):
Strange the Dreamer is the story of:
the aftermath of a war between gods and men
a mysterious city stripped of its name
a mythic hero with blood on his hands
a young librarian with a singular dream
a girl every bit as perilous as she is imperiled
alchemy and blood candy, nightmares and godspawn, moths and monsters, friendship and treachery, love and carnage.
Welcome to Weep.
I adored Laini's Smoke & Bone series! This new book has been a long time coming. :)
I wasn't even sure what this was about but I have been anticipating this because well I've heard others rave about wanting it and after reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone finally (though my continuation is going slowly) I can see why! Great pick.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy this one if you read it! Thanks, Eve. =)
DeleteOMG!!! Laini Taylor?! It's been a while since she's published anything, so YES, I want to read this!! I didn't even know she had a new book out, so thanks for the heads up!! And this one sure sounds AMAZING!! Well, what else can we expect from her?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME choice!! Thanks for sharing!! :)
It really has been! I hope we enjoy. Thank you!
DeleteI must read her first series but this book seems great.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is!
DeleteOh wow awesome I'm featuring this one as well this week ! Great pick ;)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Look at us! Great minds think alike. :D
DeleteThis book sounds so badass but that cover ... SO UGLY, I can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteI hope this lives up to all your expectations, Alyssa! :D
It does! And I must say, I am not the biggest fan of the cover either... it's just okay. I prefer the non-USA cover!
DeleteThis is one that I will be waiting on a few reviews before I decide. It looks good, but I never read her other series.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I recommend the Smoke & Bone series, Angela!
DeleteI haven't heard of this one but I hope you love it!!
ReplyDeleteDanielle @ Life With Two Boys

DeleteNice! Seeing this one quite a bit lately! Hope you love it too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW

Old Follower :)
Thank you, Jessica!
DeleteAfter absolutely adoring the Smoke & Bone series I'm totally dying to get my hands on new Laini words!
ReplyDeleteMe too! *stares at calendar*
DeleteI love Laini Taylor sooo much, and I'm excited for this too. Although I think I love the UK cover a little more, but this is pretty stunning too:-)
ReplyDeleteI like the UK cover more as well, Tammy! Sometimes, less is more. ;D
DeleteOMGGGGG I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS! It sounds amazing but I would read it regardless (because Laini Taylor, duh)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick :D
New follower by the way :)
Here's our WoW!
Anything with her name on it sounds good to me! Thank you. =)
DeleteOmg yes!!! I love her DOSAB series and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next. From the summary it sounds like it will have tons of good stuff in it. :D
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will be amazing!
DeleteI still need to read the Smoke & Bones series. I don't know why I keep putting it off. I like the sound of this one. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCarole @ Carole's Random Life
That series was so magical! Very unique fiction. Thank you!
DeleteI haven't started her Smoke and Bone series yet, but this one looks great. Hopefully, I'll be trying her writing soon. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy, Lekeisha! Thank you. ^_^
DeleteGreat pick-- hope that you can read it and enjoy soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brandi!
DeleteI loved the first book in her other series, and still need to finish it! But yes, this one sounds so good too! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WOW
Yay, excited for a new series by her! Great pick!
ReplyDeletemy WoW!
It's been so long since she's published anything! So exciting.
DeleteI love the cover!!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so vivid, right?
DeleteI am SO pumped for this one! I adored the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy and I can't wait to swim in Taylor's delicious prose all over again ♥ Awesome pick^^
ReplyDeleteHopefully this one does not disappoint!
DeleteI wish I could rock Laini Taylor's pink hair! As I wouldn't be able to, I'll just devotedly await for her new book. Love, love Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy!!
ReplyDeleteLonna @ FLYLēF Book Reviews
Right?! Her hair is amazing!
DeleteOhh great pick Alyssa! I absolutely love the cover it is absolutely gorgeous! I haven't read any books by Laini Taylor yet I know what am I waiting for. I heard nothing but amazing raving reviews about her Daughter of Smoke & Bone Trilogy. I won't lie I really want to read The Daughter of Smoke & Bone Trilogy but there are huge books and I am not a fan of big books there really are intimidating for me lol. But alas I might one day check them out from the library one by one and see if I like them or not. But I would like too check out Strange the Dreamer as well when it comes out hopefully it isn't a huge book as well. Ha lol Thank you for your awesome post Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteI hope you give her books a chance, Katiria! I think this one will be a rather long book, in classic Laini Taylor fashion. ;)
DeleteI just saw this on another site. Great choice. I think I'll be adding this to my waiting list.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you read it and love it, Marilyn!
DeleteYeeees! I'm so happy to finally see the cover. This book sounds just as great as DOSAB!
ReplyDeleteThey took their sweet time in revealing it! I especially like the UK cover though. =D
DeleteI hope so too, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteThis cover is quite striking. I'm not much a fan of ADSOM, but I think I'll give this one a try because Taylor DOES have a writing talent. :)
ReplyDeleteRachel @ A Perfection Called Books
ADSOM? That is by Victoria Schwab, not Laini Taylor!
DeleteThis cover is so pretty! It looks like a great book too!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's good! =)
DeleteAck, I still haven't read her first series. BUT I OWN THEM :D Soooooon. Question. Does it have a love triangle? o.O I am unsure.. but anyway. This new book do look pretty amazing :D I love that cover. Pretty. Curious about this one :) I hope you will love it the most sweetie. <3
ReplyDeleteGosh, it's been so long since I've read the books! That I remember, no, no love triangle. Honestly though, I need to reread the series. o.O Thank you, Carina!
