Waiting on Wednesday III

'Waiting On Wednesday' is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that book lovers are eagerly anticipating! I chose:

Heartless by Marissa Meyer

Goodreads Summary:
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.

At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.

Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.


Expected Publication: 8th November 2016

This book is a sort of fairy tale retelling as it is based on the Queen of Hearts from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I absolutely love Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I equally enjoy various interpretations of the story, so how can I not read this book?!

Waiting on Wednesday II

'Waiting On Wednesday' is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that book lovers are eagerly anticipating! I chose:

Why not me? by Mindy Kaling

GoodReads Summary:
In Why Not Me?, Kaling shares her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life, whether it’s falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behaviour modification whatsoever, or most important, believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re constantly reminded that no one looks like you.

Expected Publication: 29th September 2015

I recently finished listening to Mindy Kaling's book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without me? on an audio book. I thoroughly enjoyed it! She has a wonderful expressive voice that invites you to listen to the audio book anywhere, anytime. From sitting on the bus to cooking, Mindy Kaling was in my ear. I loved listening to her life lessons and stories because not only were they inspirational, but hilarious too! I cannot wait to delve into Why not me?
