“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:
All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater
Out: 10/10
From Goodreads:
From
bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater, a gripping tale of darkness, miracles,
and family!
Saints. Miracles.
Family. Romance. Death.
Redemption.
The
book takes place in the 1960s in Bicho Raro, Colorado and follows the lives of
three members of the Soria family—each of whom is searching for their own
miracle. There’s Deatriz, who appears to
lack feelings but wants to study her mind; Daniel, the “Saint” of Bicho Raro, a
miracle working for everyone but himself; and Joaquin (a.k.a. Diablo Diablo),
who runs a pirate radio station at night.
“The
Soria family are saints as well, and the miracle they perform for pilgrims to
Bicho Raro is as strange as most miracles are:
They can make the darkness inside you visible. Once the pilgrims see their inner darkness
face to dace, it’s up to them to perform another miracle on themselves: banishing the darkness for good. It can be a tricky business to vanquish your
inner demons, even once you know what they are, but the Sorias are forbidden to
help with this part. They’ve all been
told that if a Soria interferes with the second miracle, it will bring out
their own darkness, and a saint’s darkness, so the story goes, is a most potent
and dangerous thing.”-Maggie Stiefvater, EW interview
Why I’m Waiting:
Maggie
Stiefvater of course. She’s an auto-buy
author for me! I have enjoyed all of her
other works so I’m ready to get my hands on something new. This sounds very interesting for sure.

This seems like a popular choice today. I still need to find a book by this author that I actually love but this does sound like a great book, I must say!
