Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re
eagerly anticipating or books that are in our TBR pile. This week’s “can’t-wait-to-read” selection is
Alex Flinn is one of our favourite authors when it comes to fairytale retellings. I'm really looking forward to Bewitching. Here is Alex Flinn's summary -
Kendra Hilferty, the witch who curses Kyle Kingsbury in Beastly, tells about her immortal existence-how she discovered she was a witch and the various ways she has used her powers to help people throughout the centuries. (Unfortunately her attempts have often backfired.) As it turns out, Kendra has actually had a hand in "Hansel and Gretel," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Little Mermaid"-but these are not the fairy tales you think you know! Kendra's reminiscences are wrapped around a real-time version of "Cinderella," except the "ugly" stepsister is the good guy. With dark twists, hilarious turns, and unexpected endings, Bewitching is a contemporary read for fairy-tale lovers, fantasy fans, and anyone looking for more.
BTW, if you are in the USA and are interested in winning a copy, Alex is giving away 50 copies on goodreads!
