"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.
by Amy Alward
hitting shelves July 2nd (UK) and September 29th (US)
from Simon & Schuster
When Nova's princess
(more Kate Middleton than Rapunzel!) is poisoned by her own love potion,
the city's alchemists are entered into a deadly, high-profile quest to
find a cure. It's the chance of a lifetime for Sam's alchemist family,
who have been mixing magic potions for generations... but can Sam save
their crumbling reputation?
Sam must choose whether to work with or against her best friends, Anita and Arjun, and finds herself thrown towards Zain, heir to the ZoroAster synthetic potions corporation, and her arch enemy. He also happens to be the boy most likely to marry the princess...
With the nation's media watching her every move, Sam overcomes incredible dangers and impossible dilemmas in order to hunt down the ingredients: a mermaid's pearl, pink jasmine, Eluvian ivy, hair from an abominable and a unicorn's tail. Tricky. Can Sam save the now dangerously powerful princess by winning the contest? And just how close are she and Zain willing to get in the meantime?

My thoughts: Very excited for this one!! This one will be released in the US under the title MADLY, but I'm featuring the UK edition here today. When it comes down to it, this will be the one I order, not only because I adore the cover illustration, but because it comes out sooner---the sooner I'll have it in my hot little hands! :D
Sounds... interesting and mad. I like it, and I hope it lives up to your high expectations!
