Waiting on Wednesday (131)


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 Off the Page Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer (5/19/15):
 
Description on Goodreads:
From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Jodi Picoult and her daughter and co-writer, Samantha van Leer, comes OFF THE PAGE, a tender and appealing romantic YA novel filled with humor, adventure, and magical relationships.

Sixteen-year-old Delilah is finally united with Oliver—a prince literally taken from the pages of a fairy tale. There are, however, complications now that Oliver has been able to enter the real world. To exist in Delilah’s world, Oliver must take the place of a regular boy. Enter Edgar, who agrees to take Oliver’s role in Delilah’s favorite book. In this multilayered universe, the line between what is on the page and what is possible is blurred, but all must be resolved for the characters to live happily ever after. Includes twelve full-color illustrations, and black-and-white decorations throughout.

Full of humor and witty commentary about life, OFF THE PAGE is a stand-alone novel as well as a companion to the authors’ bestseller Between the Lines, and is perfect for readers looking for a fairytale ending. Fans of Sarah Dessen and Meg Cabot are sure to appreciate this novel about love, romance, and relationships.
Why I’m Waiting:
Does this not sound super adorable? I love a good fairytale. I also love a good fairytale sequel.  Add that to the fact that book characters are coming to life, outside their pages, and well, this is my fantasy. I enjoyed the first book a lot. It wasn’t my favorite book, but I do remember having a lot of fun reading it. Again, how can I not love the concept that is this story? Also, how wonderful is the cover? It’s one of my new favorite covers of the year.
What are you waiting on this week?

  1. Is this the second in a series? It sounds very cool! Although I'm wary, since Jodi Picoult is so hit or miss with me.
