Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.

The Sweetest Dark
by Shana Abé

hitting shelves August 21st, 2012 from Random House

description:
Chosen to be a charity student at a boarding school in World War I England, sixteen-year-old Lora discovers her long, latent magical powers just in time to battle an evil bent on decimating the school.


My thoughts:
I just learned about this one this past weekend from Jessica @ BookSake's mailbox!! The synopsis is just a tiny little thing so far, but with talk of a WWI English setting & magical powers, it sounds like something I need to read! And that cover---so gorgeous.

  1. The synopsis is indeed very little. But, the cover is catching - sounds greta!

  2. That summary is really vague... agreed with the talk, it sounds like something to go on TBR lists! Added!
