Waiting on Wednesday – Stay Sweet

waitingonwednesday

Hello lovelies!! Are you having a fantastic reading week? I sure hope so! As for me, well… it’s been ehh. These past two days were super busy and hectic, so I haven’t had the time to read. I’m really hoping that tonight I can read for 2 solid hours without too many distractions.

Now, it’s time again for another Waiting on Wednesday which 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.

synopsispic
A summer read about first love, feminism, and ice cream.

Summer in Sand Lake isn’t complete without a trip to Meade Creamery—the local ice cream stand founded in 1944 by Molly Meade who started making ice cream to cheer up her lovesick girlfriends while all the boys were away at war. Since then, the stand has been owned and managed exclusively by local girls, who inevitably become the best of friends. Seventeen-year-old Amelia and her best friend Cate have worked at the stand every summer for the past three years, and Amelia is “Head Girl” at the stand this summer. When Molly passes away before Amelia even has her first day in charge, Amelia isn’t sure that the stand can go on. That is, until Molly’s grandnephew Grady arrives and asks Amelia to stay on to help continue the business…but Grady’s got some changes in mind…

I haven’t read any books by Siobhan Vivian, but I do have some of her books stuck on my TBR list. I’m so bad at keeping up with all the books I buy and plan to read. BUT… romance, ice cream, and feminisim — that sounds like an absolutely fun and awesome read! Definitely can’t wait to get my hands on this deliciously sweet and adorable book.

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

 

synopsispic
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.
