My pick for this week is Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows!
Before
Mira Minkoba is the Hopebearer. Since the day she was born, she’s been told she’s special. Important. Perfect. She’s known across the Fallen Isles not just for her beauty, but for the Mira Treaty named after her, a peace agreement which united the seven islands against their enemies on the mainland.
But Mira has never felt as perfect as everyone says. She counts compulsively. She struggles with crippling anxiety. And she’s far too interested in dragons for a girl of her station.
After
Then Mira discovers an explosive secret that challenges everything she and the Treaty stand for. Betrayed by the very people she spent her life serving, Mira is sentenced to the Pit–the deadliest prison in the Fallen Isles. There, a cruel guard would do anything to discover the secret she would die to protect.
No longer beholden to those who betrayed her, Mira must learn to survive on her own and unearth the dark truths about the Fallen Isles–and herself–before her very world begins to collapse.
Why I'm Waiting
I saw this on someone else's WoW/CWW post two or so weeks ago, and they completely sold me! At first the synopsis comes off like any other fantasy novel. The main character is a special snowflake that will save the world. Except, she isn't! She's not a perfect princess, in fact, there's mental health in here! Which in my opinion, changes the whole game. Then there's the fact that she is sentenced to prison and also loved dragons. So...count me in!
Are you looking forward to Before She Ignites?
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!

Thanks Jessica! It's getting a lot of attention; I hope it's worth it!

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Oooh I'll enter it! There's a close to zero chance I'll get it, but it's worth trying out! Thank you Alyssa! You too. :D
DeleteI'm super excited for this one too! The cover is gorgeous and the synopsis sounds so interesting. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteMegan @ http://wanderingsofabookbird.blogspot.co.uk/
Thanks Megan! I hope the book is a good as its cover. :D
DeleteThis is the first I'm hearing about this but it sounds like an interesting read. It lost me with her being told she's "perfect." I'm so tired of the special characters who everyone fawns over. I love that that is not the case with this book.
ReplyDeleteYeah at first the synopsis sounded like another book where the main character is a special snowflake, but I'm glad it's not!
DeleteBeautiful cover and it really does sounds good too. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteJenea's Book Obsession
Thanks!!
DeleteI'm sold on this one too. I think it's been on my list forever!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a lot of people are really excited for it! I hope you love it. :)
DeleteI love the mental health rep, hope it's done well. Love the cover too. Is that two moons??
ReplyDeleteOh you're right! I didn't even pay attention to the cover enough to notice the two moons!
DeleteI loved Jodi Meadows first two books, although I haven't had a chance to finish that series yet, I need to. This is high up on my TBR as well. In fact I just entered to win an ARC of this on Goodreads today! Great pick! Thanks for visiting my Wednesday post on Lisa Loves Literature!
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read anything by Jodi Meadows, but her books have such good reviews! Ooh good luck with the giveaway! I entered it too. :D
DeleteI have been wanting to read a Jodi Meadows book, and am excited that this will be my first one. This book is a splendid mix of interesting things. Fantasy MC with mental health issues, who is thrust into a life or death situation. Sounds like it will be great.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first one as well! I hope it is great!
DeleteI've seen this one around and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
It really does! I'll be sure to visit. :)
DeleteThis sounds so good! I'm adding it to my TBR, and I love the cover as well:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I convinced you! The cover is stunning. :D
DeleteI'm dying to read this one!! I hope we both love it when it comes out :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW
Keeping my fingers crossed!!
DeleteI like the new name for this book meme. Should we all start calling it Can't Wait Wednesday?
ReplyDeleteI think that's a decision depending on the blogger. I personally didn't want to call it Can't Wait Wednesday until I was certain that Jill wasn't coming back. I had only been doing the meme for about 20 weeks too, so I imagine that is will be a bit weirder for a blogger that had been doing Waiting on Wednesdays for years.
DeleteThis gem has been getting such love on the blogosphere! I hope it's a a lovely read!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too! It looks fantastic, but I don't want to get too hyped and then be disappointed.
DeleteI love a lot of things about this one - the cover, the mental health rep, the premise - I hope it's as good as it sounds! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is as good as it sounds! Thanks Di. :)
DeleteSo sorry for the late comment back, Gennifer.....:( I've been a little TOO busy, lol. But here I am now!! <3
ReplyDeleteAWESOME pick!! I can't wait for this one, either!! I featured it myself on "Can't Wait Wednesday" about a month ago. It sure looks like a LOT of people are anxious for this book to be published already! :)
Thanks for commenting on my CWW post!! Have a GREAT week!! <3 :)
You're totally fine Maria!! I completely understand, and I've been much far behind than you at times! XD
DeleteMaybe that's when I first saw it! I've been seeing it hopping around of CWW posts here and there, so it seems like the blogosphere is ready for this book already!
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting back. <3 You as well!!
I picked this is a WoW pick, too, so yeah, great pick! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
