Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
Wednesday is my favorite day of the week because I get to share books that I am super excited about and can't wait to read.
384 pages, Expected publication: January 7th 2014 by HarperTeen
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Small towns are nothing if not friendly. Friendship, Wisconsin (population: 688) is no different. Around here, everyone wears a smile. And no one ever locks their doors. Until, that is, high school sweetheart Ruth Fried is found murdered. Strung up like a scarecrow in the middle of a cornfield.
Unfortunately, Friendship’s police are more adept at looking for lost pets than catching killers. So Ruth’s best friend, Kippy Bushman, armed with only her tenacious Midwestern spirit and Ruth’s secret diary (which Ruth’s mother had asked her to read in order to redact any, you know, sex parts), sets out to find the murderer. But in a quiet town like Friendship—where no one is a suspect—anyone could be the killer.
Doesn't this sound awesome? Murder mystery and a fugly sweater? Count me in on this one. I can't wait to read my ARC.
What are you waiting on this week?
I'm so excited for this one too!

DeleteAhh my itchy fingers want to start this one right away even though I have tons of books that I should read sooner. But this sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteTanja @ Ja Ĩitam, a ti?
I have so many books to read before I get to this one. I want to skip them and get to this one already. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteNice! Remember seeing this pick somewhere before only because the cover makes me laugh. That would be hilarious to see on a real sweater!

ReplyDeleteThat sweater is quite horrible isn't it? lol As I was reading the summary, my eyes kept being drawn back to it. It does sound like a wonderful murder mystery though!

Wow! This is the first I've heard of this book but it seriously sounds really good! And I like that the cover isn't what you would normally expect from a YA novel!

I love a good murder mystery and this sounds wonderful, I love the small town setting too! Awesome pick.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one as well! I spoke to Kathleen about ARCs, and I really hope I get one. Or, I could always just download it from Edelweiss, because of auto-approval. A plan! :D
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW post!

Okay, that cover is totally disturbing. This book sounds so creepy and spooky. I'm liking this surge of murder novels right now. That kind of sounds terrible, but I'm just really liking mysteries at the moment. Great pick!!
