Why
I’m Waiting:
I really enjoyed the Prophecy of the
Sisters series by Michelle Zink. I know she’s written more since then, but I
still need to get to it. And this one sounds super awesome. It has an Ally
Carter feel to it, and I’m all about it. The mixture of conning the wealthy and
falling for her mark makes this main character sound beyond interesting. It
will be fun to read something a bit more contemporary by this author too. I’m
not sure I’m feeling the cover because it’s kind of yawns-ville, but I just
know this book will be good.
What are you waiting on this week?
Hmmm... I haven't heard of this one, but it does sound really good! I hope you love it! :)
