Hello friends. I feel like I’ve joined Waiting on Wednesday a lot lately. Usually, the only consistent meme around here is Top Ten Tuesday. But it felt like a “let’s put together a ‘WOW’ post.” So I did. Tomorrow I should have a new review ready to publish, so swing back to discover what that is. Until then, let’s talk all the fun bookish things – aka new books!! That’s always a win I think.
It’s Wednesday which means there’s another fun meme that bloggers enjoy taking part in. Today’s feature is all about the books we’re “Waiting On” with Can’t Wait Wednesday; a meme Finding Wonderland occasionally takes part in.
Organized by the lovely Tressa of Wishful Endings, here’s another edition of Can’t Wait Wednesday.
Waiting on Wednesday: Twenty-Eighth Edition
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released as well. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. (Find out more here.)
After several weeks of sharing my favorite genre (contemporary), I’m breaking free!! Today, my feature reminds me of The Selection, which is one of my most favorite “guilty pleasure” reads because it’s entertaining, knows that’s its purpose, and I love it for that. Although to be honest, I’m a little confused about this one. Is it a dystopian or straight up historical? It’s tagged as YA historical, so I’m hoping for the latter. I think I’d enjoy it more if this is true!
Anyway, we feature a debut author today, Autumn Krause will become a published author with her YA novel A Dress for the Wicked. Not only is the cover lovely, but the synopsis sounds really interesting. Maybe a little bit of Devil Wears Prada from a historical perspective!? I’m in… obviously.
A DRESS FOR THE WICKED
[sc name=”Disclosure Notice”]
Author: Autumn Krause | Publisher: HarperTeen
Genre: Fiction; Young Adult Historical | Publication Date: August 2019
Nothing much happens in the sleepy town of Shy in Avon-upon-Kynt. And for eighteen years, Emmaline Watkins has feared that her future held just that: nothing.
But when the head of the most admired fashion house in the country opens her prestigious design competition to girls from outside the stylish capital city, Emmy’s dreams seem closer than they ever have before.
As the first “country girl” to compete, Emmy knows she’ll encounter extra hurdles on her way to the top. But as she navigates the twisted world of high fashion she starts to wonder: will she be able to tailor herself to fit into this dark, corrupted race? And at what cost? – Goodreads
Like I said, I’m in for this one. A blend of The Selection and Devil Wears Prada (my words) is all I need to know.

I love the cover too, and notice they say, dark and corrupted race… are they not human?

This one has caught my eye, too – I think I have it coming up on CWW in a couple weeks!
Fun! We’re almost ‘Wednesday’ meme twins. :)
Sounds pretty interesting and I’m sure with those comparisons, it will get lots of attention!
I’d guess so too, Barb! :)
