Waiting On Wednesday is a meme where you basically share an upcoming book that you’re excited to read. It’s hosted over at Breaking the Spine by Jill.
The book I’m waiting on today is…: Splintered by A.G. Howard
Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.
What’s that over there? *points finger* Oh, don’t worry, it’s just my puddle of drool that just appeared after I stared at this cover! Seriously, that cover is all kinds of gorgeous. This book is one of those books that would go on my TBR just because of the cover. But, even better, the synopsis sounds totally amazing too! I love the idea of it being a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, that just sounds awesome! These tests that Alyssa has to pass sound daring and challenging and action packed. Which is exactly my kind of thing! Since I wasn’t approved for this on NetGalley, I’ll have to bear the wait. But hopefully, it’ll be totally worth it!
This book will be released on January 1st, 2013. (How cool is it that a book comes out on New Year’s Day?!)
What are YOU waiting on this week?
I'm waiting for this one too! It sounds awesome, and I love the cover.

I'm not a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, but I have to admit that this one looks amazing! It was up on NG awhile back, so you should check and see if you can still get it. I'd love to see what you think of this one, Aneeqah, so yet another absolutely fabulous WoW pick! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick. I love the cover on this. :)

Hehe you are hilarious. :) I'm sorry you didn't get approved of it on Netgalley. :( I SO agree with you, that cover makes me drool too! And the premise just sounds too enticing to pass up. Great pick this week!! :D
ReplyDeleteI've heard about several new books that are based on Alice In Wonderland, but this one looks particularly interesting! And I agree that the cover is beautiful. This one will go on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteHi Aneeqah, This one sounds really good, might even be a little creepy (which i like!) What I'm waiting on is Endlessly by Kiersten White :)
