Waiting on Wednesday – Page 7 – Sincerely Karen Jo

Hello and a very good morning to you all! I hope you’re all having a fantastic week. It’s time again for another Waiting on Wednesday.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. A similar meme, Can’t-Wait Wednesday, is hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings. If you’d like to participate in either one, don’t forget to link back to these lovely ladies and add your links in their posts.

My pick for this week’s “can’t wait to read” is

The Queens of Innis Lear

Tessa Gratton

Expected publication: March 27, 2018 Tor Books

Hardcover 576 Pages

Genre(s): Young Adult, Retellings, Fantasy

A kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood.

The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes.

The king’s three daughters—battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia—know the realm’s only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted.

Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war—but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided.

I’ve missed reading fantasy and retellings. Lately, I’ve just been in the mood to read contemporary and romances, but I’m hoping I’ll soon get in the mood for Sci-fi, Fantasy, Retellings, and Adventure books.

The Queens of Innis Lear sounds incredibly fascinating and so thrilling. Just read the synopsis and tell me if you aren’t curious…That first line, “A kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood.” already got me! I wonder if this book is on Netgalley? Not that I need anymore books to add, but this book is seriously calling to me.

Bound to You

Expected publication: April 10, 2018 Swoon Reads

Hardcover 288 Pages

Genre(s): Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance

A teen werewolf finally meets her destined soulmate only to discover that he’s not quite what she expected in this steamy debut romance.

She’s met her mate . . . and he’s met his match.

Megan Ross has been waiting her whole life for her mate to come and sweep her off her feet. But the wolf she meets on the beach is NOT the sweet gentle boy she’s been dreaming of. Instead, he’s a warrior, one whose suffering has led him to lock his heart away in a prison as cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their deep sexual attraction.

Far from home, with a soulmate who is still a stranger, Megan learns that the path to true love isn’t quite as straight and easy as she thought . . .

I love paranormal romances even if it’s cheesy. I read for fun, so as long as I end up being entertained and having a great time, that’s all that really matters to me. The premise of this book doesn’t sound super amazing, but it’s definitely something I think I would enjoy reading in one sitting –a very fun guilty pleasure read.

So what’s your Waiting on Wednesday pick today? Share those books, so I can add more on my TBR!
