Waiting on Wednesday is the brainchild of Breaking the Spine, although Jill isn’t hosting this meme anymore. In any case, I will continue to post Waiting on Wednesdays, simply because it’s one of my favorite posts to do each week:-D
Any time I see a comparison to Stranger Things, I can’t help but sit up and take notice. This book caught my eye for that reason:
Madeleine L’Engle meets Stranger Things in this debut YA-friendly fantasy adventure about how the unexpected can move in next door
Freddy wants desperately to not be noticed. She doesn’t want to be seen as different or unusual, but her step-brother Roland gets attention because he’s deaf, and her little sister Mel thinks she’s a private detective. All Freddy wants to do is navigate high school with as little trouble as possible.
Then someone moves into the house on Grosvenor Street. Two extremely odd someones.
Cuerva Lachance and Josiah aren’t . . . normal. When they move in next door, the house begins to exhibit some decidedly strange tendencies, like not obeying the laws of physics or reality. Just as Freddy thinks she’s had enough of Josiah following her around, she’s plunged into an adventure millennia in the making and discovers the truth about the new neighbors.
Weave a Circle Round by Kari Maaren. Releases in November 2017 from Tor Books. I know it’s a LONG way away before this book is published, but hey. We all need a little anticipation in our lives, right? Plus, I have a thing for book covers with upside down buildings/landscapes:-) Although Tor (not Tor Teen) is the publisher, this appears to have a YA crossover appeal.
This blurb tells you just enough to be intriguing and frustrating at the same time! Tell me moreeee lol! here’s mine: http://editingeverything.com/blog/2017/02/15/waiting-oncant-wait-wednesday-upside-unrequited/
Ha ha, at least it doesn’t give away the whole plot, like some blurbs:-D
This sounds strange…lol.
Yes, very strange. And that’s why I want to read it!
It sounds good. I hope it lives up to the promise, i need a new YA series to excite me.
Ha ha, I know, those are tough to find;-)
Now, you saw the Stranger Things reference, and I saw the Madeline L’Engle reference and was intrigued. This sounds really good, this is also the first I’m hearing of it, so I’m off to add it to my Goodreads TBR. You can check out my Wednesday post in the link below.
I love the cover and put this on my wish list a week or so ago. I got to have it especially with The Stranger Things appeal. Sounds intriguing.
Well, with a call-back to Stranger Things I could not ignore this book, could I?
The story sounds intriguing all on its own, though, and well worth waiting for – and posting myself a reminder about…
Woah, that font is different! You don’t see that style of font often. I’ve not watched Stranger Things! Nor have I read any of L’Engle’s books. Clueless Alyssa is clueless.
I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Tammy!
Have a wonderful week. =)

You had me at “Stranger Things”
I want this – as other people have already said – you had me at ‘Stranger Things’. Bring it.
Great choice.

With a beautiful cover and a comparison to Stranger Things, I’m totally sold!
haha and the comparisons to Stranger Things begin. I don’t hate it though. I think I might need this one!
We were so close to being WoW twins this week! If I hadn’t noticed the Gold Seer cover for book 3 last minute, this would totally have been my pick. So I guess what I’m saying is, good choice!
Oh maaaaan, this sounds so good! Added it to my GR. Here’s to silently hoping it will be on NetGalley eventually…
Anything “Madeleine L’Engle meets” is going to be worth reading! Sounds so cool. Where did you hear of this so early?! Haha
