Waiting on Wednesday - 8/17

Okay "Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.


This week my Waiting on Wednesday book is Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu.  Not only does it have a magical cover it is a fairy tale retelling of The Snow Queen.  I love fairy tale retellings and have heard wonderful things about this one!  Can't wait to read it :-)  See below for cover, release info and the synopsis.


Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu
  • Length: 336 pages
  • Publisher: Walden Pond Press
  • Release Date: September 27th, 2011

Synopsis from GoodReads.com:
"A stunning modern-day fairy tale from acclaimed author Anne Ursu
Once upon a time, Hazel and Jack were best friends. But that was before he stopped talking to her and disappeared into a forest with a mysterious woman made of ice. Now it's up to Hazel to go in after him. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen," Breadcrumbs is a story of the struggle to hold on, and the things we leave behind."
