“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that
spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
The Reader (Sea of Ink & Gold #1)by Traci Chee
Out: 9/13
From Goodreads:
Sefia
knows what it means to survive. After
her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt
Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal.
But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her
survival skills can help her discover where Nin’s been taken, or if she’s even
alive. The only clue to both her aunt’s
disappearance and her father’s murder is the odd rectangular object her father
left behind, an object she comes to realize is a book—a marvelous item unheard
of in her otherwise illiterate society.
With the help of this book, and the air of a mysterious stranger with
dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and fine out really
happened the day her father was killed—and punish the people responsible.
Why I’m Waiting:
Not
going to lie the title got my attention first.
I’m a reader after all. The idea
of a society where people don’t know what a book is horrifies me. Really because where would I be? The world has me interested to know more and
it just shows that a book can solve most things ;)
What
