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:
Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore
Publisher: Kathy Dawson Books
Publication Date: September 19, 2017
Summary (from Goodreads):
Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions.
Now, with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash—a glamorous, capricious acquaintance who shows up and asks Jane to accompany her to a gala at her family's island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Jane remembers her aunt telling her: "If anyone ever invites to you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you'll go." With nothing but a trunkful of umbrella parts to her name, Jane ventures out to the Thrash estate. Then her story takes a turn, or rather, five turns. What Jane doesn't know is that Tu Reviens will offer her choices that can ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. But at Tu Reviens, every choice comes with a reward, or a price.
I cannot WAAAAAIT! I wish I had this book in my hands now! It's so sad that a cover has not been revealed yet. But no matter, because I'll be excited for whatever Cashore writes, cover or no cover. Plus I'm tired of putting off this novel as a WoW choice (I pick books chronologically in terms of publication date).
Did you know that Fire, Cashore's second novel, is my all-time favorite book ever? And the series overall is my favorite? *insert crazy fangirling here*
I can't WAIT to see what beautiful cover they create for that amazing synopsis! And your excitement definitely makes me want to go back and read the Graceling series! Great pick, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though! Given the covers of Cashore's other books as well... it will have to be nothing but stunning.
DeleteGirl, get on that! I think you'd love the series. ^_^
Thank you!
OMG! Yes, yes, yes! I am so excited about this book. I adored The Graceling series and am hoping for more of that greatness. Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB

DeleteThis sounds intriguing. I'm excited to see the cover. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read any books of her /hangs head in shame. I'm pretty sure my cousin has Fire though. I really should start haha. Hopefully a cover gets released soon!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, Cyn! *nudges towards Cashore's backlist*

She is AMAZING, Sandra! Fire is my favorite book ever. Thank you, Sandra!
DeleteI had no idea that Cashore had a new novel coming out. It sounds awesome; thanks for putting it on my radar. I'll definitely be adding it to my TBR list. Great pick!

DeleteThis author is new to me. I will have to check her out on Goodreads. Thanks for stopping by my WoW and sharing! I hope you enjoy this when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteWhaaaat!? You must read her Graceling trilogy. Fire, especially. <3 You're welcome, Jacque!
DeleteSoooobs. I WANT THIS BOOK TOO. Gorgeous pick Alyssa :D I hope we will both love it so so much. <3 Ahh. I want it badly. Sniffs. BUT ALYSSA! I SAW YOUR COMMENT ON MY BLOG. Shame on you :D GET READING. NOOOOOOOOW :D It is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I can't believe it's coming out so soon. I'll definitely be doing a Graceling trilogy reread in the future. ;)
DeleteThe blurb got me really confused but I know Kristin from her Realms trilogy so yay! she's got something new coming!
ReplyDeleteIt's a little confusing! But this new book is completely different from her trilogy. I'm excited!
DeleteOkay, don't hate me, but I'm one of the FEW people who didn't love Graceling. I liked it, but that's all, so I'm not super excited about this book, but it sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it!!!
Awww! Did you read Fire? I liked Fire more than Graceling (though I loved them both).
DeleteThank you, Lis!
I haven't heard of this one before but it sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it when it comes out :)
Aneta @ Angelic Book Reviews
Thank you, Aneta! I hope so too!
DeleteI AM SCREAMING! I need this book in my life!!!! Seriously, I was starting to get a bit worried that Kristin Cashore wouldn't write any more books. Fire is my favourite book in the Graceling series too!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's been so long! Girl, I knew I liked you for a reason. Everyone loved Graceling more but we are Fire girls!
DeleteI didn't know Cashore was coming out with a new book. Huh. Thanks for the info. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for visiting Shell's Stories.
It's so exciting! She hasn't published one in a long time, so this one is highly anticipated.
DeleteYou're welcome!
