“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at
Breaking the Spine that spotlights an upcoming release that we’re eagerly
anticipating. Let the salivating commence.
My pick this week:
The Diviners
By: Libba
Bray
Publisher: Little,
Brown Books for Young Readers
Release
Date: September 18, 2012
Description:
Evie O’Neill
has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling
streets of New York City – and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the
city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running
with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that
Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of “The Museum of the Creepy
Crawlies.”
When a rash
of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the
thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious
power that could help catch the killer – if he doesn’t catch her first.
Why I’m Waiting: This sounds FANTASTIC. New
York City in the twenties, murder, magic? YES PLEASE. And it seems like it has
the same historical fantasy feel as her Gemma Doyle trilogy, which I LOVED. Can’t
wait to read this one!
