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 Stitching Snow by R.C.
Lewis (10/14/14):
Description (on Goodreads):
Princess Snow is missing.
Her home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors. The king will stop at nothing to get his beloved daughter back—but that’s assuming she wants to return at all.
Essie has grown used to being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones that run the local mines.
When a mysterious young man named Dane crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental, and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to avoid. With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.

Why I’m Waiting:
Authors want to keep re-telling fairytales, and I’m so okay
with letting them. Futuristic/sci-fi fairytales? Yes, please. I have a soft
spot for this particular tale, and this sounds like such a fun read. I kind of
love that there are seven drones instead of dwarves, and I can’t wait to read
about more similarities in past and future tellings of Snow White. Also, I kind
of love the cover; it’s simple, yet not simple at all.
What are you waiting on this week?
Fairytale Retellings are either a hit or a miss for me. I really am hoping that this one delivers for me.

I've been seeing this book everywhere! Never really stopped to read the blurb, though, just because I wasn't too interested in the cover. I didn't realize it was a fairytale retelling, haha! Usually I love those. Hm, I don't know, maybe I'll give it a try some day ;)

Yup Snow White is a special fairytale indeed so I'm right with you in eagerly awaiting to dig into Stitching Snow :D The futuristic aspect to it sounds like it could really be fun so I hope it all comes together in a fresh way! I really love the cover for this one too, the details in the apple are cool and I'm digging the colour scheme. Awesome pick Nori ^^
