"Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at “Breaking the Spine”, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My Pick

The Chaos of Stars

Expected Release Date: September 10th 2013

Publisher: HarperTeen

Isadora’s family is seriously screwed up.

Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She’s also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can’t be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she’s a mere mortal.

Isadora’s sick of living a life where she’s only worthy of a passing glance, and when she has the chance to move to San Diego with her brother, she jumps on it. But Isadora’s quickly finding that a “normal” life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there’s no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can’t shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family. When it turns out there may be truth in her nightmares, Isadora has to decide whether she can abandon her divine heritage after all.


Why I’m Waiting


First, I love Kiersten White’s writing. I can’t imagine me not enjoying a book she writes! Second, I have always found the Egyptian gods and mythology fascinating. I can’t wait to see White’s take on it. And third, well come on, you know that cover is amazing:)

Happy Wednesday!

  13. Oh my stars, that cover (pun definitely intended). I featured this one last week and it still takes my breath away. Beyond that I'm stoked for this book for the same reasons you are - Egyptian myth?! Gimme. I still have to read any of White's other books but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

    Great pick!
