"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
September 18th, 2012 - Scholastic Inc.
Filled with mystery, romance, and the supernatural, The Raven Boys introduces readers to Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III and Blue Sargent. Gansey has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on the hunt to find Glendower, a vanished Welsh king. Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish—either by seeing him open his eyes, or by cutting out his heart.So this last week, while I was inhaling multiple Stiefvater books at once (The Scorpio Races and Shiver), this little announcement popped up and I proceeded to squee in anticipation. This new four part series by Stiefvater sounds amazing, and I cannot wait to pick it up! What do you all think of the cover and the blurb?
Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there—known as Raven Boys—can only mean trouble. When Gansey and his Raven Boy friends come into her life, Blue realizes how true this is. She never thought her fortune would be a problem. But she was wrong.
I absolutely adore Maggie Stiefvater's writing and the plot sounds really good. I can't wait until this one comes out. Great pick!

ReplyDeleteHere's MY WOW POST -
The cover is amazing. And I hate to admit it, but I still have not read anything by Maggie Stiefvater. I have been meaning to and all of her books are on my TBR list. I really need to jump on this.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is amazing and I was reminded of Edgar Allan Poe. :)
I cannot recommend The Scorpio Races more highly! Best book I've read so far this year. The cover IS SO Edgar Allan Poe, I love it.
