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 Diviners
by Libba Bray

hitting shelves September 18th, 2012 from Little, Brown BYR

description: Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.


My thoughts: So what's not to want about this? It's Libba Bray, its a mystery, there is a "Museum of the Creepy Crawlies", some sort of paranormal goodness going on, AND it's set in the 20's! That sounds like a full-on winning combination to me. :)

  5. Ah, I'm sad Libba Bray hasn't written anything else like the Gemma Doyle books. She is definitely wacky and funny though.
