“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
are you waiting on? Tell me below what
you think of this title and leave a link to your WoW as well so I can check it
out!
I can't wait for this one as well! I'm glad I'm not the only one that was first drawn in by the title though hahaha!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat? I'm a total cover and title person. I know you shouldn't judge but I do!!! Or at least I left interesting ones pull me in!
DeleteI'm intrigued by this one! I'm not sure if I'll pursue reading it, but it is on my TBR list - probably for the indefinite future, rather than the immediate future. I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a lovely week. =)

Haha yes my TBR list is like that! I am constantly adding books to it some to read ASAP and others to read eventually....I really need to win the lotto so I can just read ;)
DeleteThis book sure sounds very interesting! And you're right, a society where they haven't even heard of books before sure is intriguing- and bizarre! Looking forward to this one. Great pick, and Thanks for sharing, Eve!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW earlier! Have a great week :))
It's a horror movie to me!!! To never have heard of books....where would my life be?
DeleteI've never heard of this one but both the cover and synopsis are definitely eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Happy reading!
I know right! The title just makes a reader want to know more ;)
DeleteThis book sounds so interesting and I keep seeing it all over the place. I can't wait to read this amazing book. Great pick Eve. xoxo
