Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Each week we get to feature book that’s coming out that’s we’re REALLY excited for. It’s awesome and fun and a great way to discover new books. I highly recommend heading over to the official page to check out everyone else’s posts!
This week I’m waiting on . . .
Stealing Snow
Book number one in the Stealing Snow series
Seventeen-year-old Snow has spent the majority of her life within the walls of the Whittaker Institute, a high security mental hospital in upstate New York. Deep down, she knows she’s not crazy and doesn’t belong there. When she meets a mysterious, handsome new orderly and dreams about a strange twisted tree she realizes she must escape and figure out who she really is . . .
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Retellings (Snow White)
Author: Danielle Paige
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Childrens
Pages: 304 {harback}
RELEASE DATE: 27th September 2016
// PRE-ORDER //
So just incase you hadn’t had enough of retellings yet, Paige is back with MORE. If you don’t know, Paige is the author of the Alice in Zombieland books (I’m not sure what the official series’ name is) – which I haven’t read, THE SHAME. But they’re super popular so I think we can just assume this is going to be awesome.
I am absolutely in love with this retellings craze the YA community is on right now. I’m so excited for this book and I LOVE the cover. I’ve already read one Snow White retelling this year so I’m eager to dig into some more as I really enjoyed that one (The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine). From my experience, when you mash a fairy-tale retellings with the character being dubbed as crazy, you’re on a roll. I really, really hope this lives up to my expectations!

My best friend IRL is OBSESSED with the Alice in Zombieland series! You two are actually very similar (maybe that’s why we get along so well 😄) so I’m sure you’d love it too!

I’m super excited for this!!! I loved the first Dorothy Must Die book and this sounds so interesting. Also, it’s actually a Snow Queen retelling (like Elsa from Frozen 😅) not Snow White.

I’m waiting on this too. I have yet to read a book by this author so I don’t know what to expect. All I know is I love the premise of Stealing Snow, and I can’t wait to read it! I also need to start reading Dorothy Must Die because I’ve been putting it off for quite a while now. Great pick for W.OW. 😀
