Waiting on Wednesday 4/14

Wednesday, April 14, 2010



Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming novels we just can't wait for! We all know there are a ton of great books coming out this year, but this week, I'm particularly excited for...

Title: Illyria
Author: Elizabeth Hand
Release Date: May 13, 2010






Madeleine and Rogan are first cousins, best friends, twinned souls, each other's first love. Even within their large, disorderly family - all descendants of a famous actress - their intensity and passion for theater sets them apart. It makes them a little dangerous. When they are cast in their school's production of Twelfth Night, they are forced to face their separate talents and futures, and their future together.

I just love the sound of this one - short, sweet, nearly poetic...it's a forbidden love story, but it's the very best kind. I'll admit, I have a penchant for works involving Shakespeare, so that element really excites me. I love the cover, too. It's a bit like an old-fashioned painting!

What are you waiting on this week? Leave me a link and I'll be sure to check it out!

  5. This one is new to me. Hmm, I have to agree about the 1st cousins issue - but, maybe that's not a main part of the plot.
