Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week, I am waiting on The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White (9/10/13):
Description on Goodreads:
Isadora’s family is
seriously screwed up.
Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She’s also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can’t be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she’s a mere mortal.
Isadora’s sick of living a life where she’s only worthy of a passing glance, and when she has the chance to move to San Diego with her brother, she jumps on it. But Isadora’s quickly finding that a “normal” life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there’s no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can’t shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family. When it turns out there may be truth in her nightmares, Isadora has to decide whether she can abandon her divine heritage after all.

How cool does this sound? Seriously, can Kiersten White not
write something with a great premise? I’m a big fan of this author. I am a big

I saw the cover reveal for this and thought it was so neat-love the beautiful navy and gold as well as the promise of Egyptian mythology being incorporated.
ReplyDeleteWhaa, how did I let this one pass me by? This is the first I'm hearing of it and how awesome does it sound?! I just started reading Mind Games - my first read by Kiersten White.
