Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
You may be able to tell by looking at how many consecutive Waiting on Wednesday posts I have made, but Wednesday is my favorite day of the week!
Expected publication: January 31st 2017 by HarperTeen
Synopsis from Goodreads:
It’s 1945, and Lorna Anderson’s life on her father’s farm in Scotland consists of endless chores and rationing, knitting Red Cross scarves, and praying for an Allied victory. So when Paul Vogel, a German prisoner of war, is assigned as the new farmhand, Lorna is appalled. How can she possibly work alongside the enemy when her own brothers are risking their lives for their country?
But as Lorna reluctantly spends time with Paul, she feels herself changing. The more she learns about him—from his time in the war to his life back home in Germany—the more she sees the boy behind the soldier. Soon Lorna is battling her own warring heart. Loving Paul could mean losing her family and the life she’s always known. With tensions rising all around them, Lorna must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice before the end of the war determines their fate.
I really, really want to read this! I'm not too much into reading historical fiction, but this is a YA romance that I just can't pass up.
What are you waiting on this week?
This one sounds really good. I usually avoid these type of books but I may have to read this one.

DeleteI'm not too familiar with this book but I must say, the publisher did an amazing job with the cover. You definitely get an "old-time" vibe from the cover, which fits the book's setting really well. I'm not sure this one is for me but I do appreciate that cover. :D I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
