"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen author of
Garden Spells.
This info was taken directly from the Sarah Addison Allen web page.
The Girl Who Chased The Moon
Look for Chapter One excerpt and book extras in early 2010!
Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother’s life. But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew, she realizes that mysteries aren’t solved in Mullaby, they’re a way of life: Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor, Julia Winterson, bakes hope in the form of cakes, offering them to satisfy the town’s sweet tooth—but also in the hope of rekindling a love she fears might be lost forever. Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily’s backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.
"A dusting of magic, the aroma of sugary cakes swirling through the breeze, and a girl who unwittingly brings change to a town of misfits makes for a sweet summer story filled with hope and forgiveness. The Girl Who Chased the Moon flirts with the supernatural while the light tinkling of a charm bracelet sounds in the night."
- Beth Hoffman, author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

Great pick...and you did it just right. :) So glad you're participating!
Welcome to Waiting on Wednesday. What a great book - I have Garden Spells but haven't read it yet. I'm definitely adding this one to my list.
Great first pick. I will have to look at this series.
I'll be buying this as soon as it's published. LOVED her first two books!
Sounds intriguing...love books like that! Will keep an eye open at the book store.
Hugs,
Sandi
P.S. so glad you popped by and entered my GIVEAWAY!
We have to wait until 2010 for this book. I can't wait; loved her first 2 books. Great pick.
Thanks Joy! I've been looking for a great new read and this one sounds perfect. What a gorgeous book cover as well. ~Lovely.
Many Blessings and Happy Fall!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit Joy. Looks like you have lots of fun things going on around here. Hope you have a good weekend.
Hugs,
Sue
This sounds a nice read. I read Garden Spells by this author but it was too similar to 'Practical Magic' by Alice Hoffman for me. This book sounds nice though so I may give her books another go...Thank you for the info

How is Nicholas Sparks' book? I like the movies from the books. I just wish the books and movies weren't always so sad!
