Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...
Author: Elizabeth Laird
Release Date: April 18, 2011
Taken from Goodreads.
You know what I think it is about The Betrayal of Maggie Blair that makes me so excited? It kind of loosely reminds me of The Witch of Blackbird Pond, which I absolutely adored when I was younger. I love stories that blend rich history, especially those like the tales of witch trials. Plus, the setting and time period add to the set-up, making it sound rich and intriguing. I don't think the cover is the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen, but there's something about it that I love...dark, shades of blue, with just a lone figure. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
Ooh, I love the sound of this one! Witch trials, historical, betrayal...I'm definitely curious ;)

That is a stunning cover & sounds like my kind of book. I’m currently obsessed with any book that takes place in Scotland, England, or Ireland. Historical makes it that much better :)
