Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: A misfit crew race across the galaxy to prevent the genocide of magical creatures, in this unique science fiction debut.
Having magical powers makes you less than human, a resource to be exploited. Half-unicorn Gary Cobalt is sick of slavery, captivity, and his horn being ground down to power faster-than-light travel. When he's finally free, all he wants is to run away in his ancestors' stone ship. Instead, Captain Jenny Perata steals the ship out from under him, so she can make an urgent delivery. But Jenny held him captive for a decade, and then Gary murdered her best friend... who was also the wife of her co-pilot, Cowboy Jim. What could possibly go right?
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: Since I signed up for the Swords and Stars Challenge this year, I've been on the lookout for some science fiction which might interest me. I do like my unique books (aka - odd) and this fits that bill. Also, who can resist a tagline of "FIND THE UNICORN, SAVE THE PLANET?"
What book can't you wait for this week????
haha it does sound odd but in the best way with that tagline. Enjoy! My CWW
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy odd from time to time so I'm excited about this one.
DeleteAs usual, you share the best books in your WWW posts! Except I already had this one on my tbr, so ha! Your plans to enable my book habit and make my tbr bigger were thwarted this time ;-P Really though, this sounds like such a fun book!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I'll have to try harder next week!
DeleteThe title of this had me sold, but I love the description too! Sounds like the kind of book I'll really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Alyce!
DeleteHope you enjoy it when you get it!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis does sound different and fun! And I love unicorns!
ReplyDeleteYes, unicorns rock!
DeleteThis sounds SO different! I hope you love it when you read it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteOoh I came very close to picking this as my Wow book this week, great choice! It sounds a little nutty, but that could mean a fun read.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds :)
DeleteThis sounds adorable. It is different that is for sure! I hope you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteMary Can’t Wait Wednesday
Seems like some books just rehash the same things so I'm glad to see something different.
DeleteThat tagline is so great! Hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteYea, that tagline seems to be hooking people in.
DeleteWell this sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Sara.
DeleteThis so sounds like something you would like! Thank goodness it's not my thing so I am not adding another to my pile. :)
ReplyDeleteOh come on.....
Delete'Find the Unicorn' - that would be enough right there. LOL
ReplyDeleteI know right?
DeleteI actually haven't heard about this one before but it sounds really interesting! One of my goals this year is to read more science fiction, since it's a genre I enjoy but haven't read much of. Have a wonderful day, Barb!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to read more science fiction as well. Have you read The Prey of Gods? I need to get my review up but I LOVED it!
DeleteThis sounds so interesting. Absolutely love the tagline! Hope you'll enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMy CWW
Thanks.
DeleteA half unicorn? I can't wait to read more about this one!
ReplyDeleteAre you like me and wondering which half????
DeleteSounds like a very interesting concept for a sci-fi! I hope that you love it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWoah this looks fun! Totally going on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could enable you!
DeleteThis looks awesome! Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres. Thanks for introducing me to it!
ReplyDeleteHere's our WOW: http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2018/02/waiting-on-wednesday-this-tiny-perfect.html
Glad you hadn't seen this one before. I love sharing new books with people.
DeleteThis book got me with "A misfit crew". Always love that! :D
ReplyDeleteI know. When I hear "misfit crew" I think of Guardians of the Galaxy.
DeleteOoh this sounds awesome! Love the title! Hope you enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley.
DeleteGreat pick! This one definitely has me intrigued. I hope you will enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll give it a chance eventually too!
DeleteI've got this one on my radar too because it sounds interesting...I'll have to wait for some reviews before I decide for sure though!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Hope it's as good as it sounds.
DeleteI hadn't heard of this one before but it sounds so good. I love the "misfit crew" and I seriously think I'd read it for that fabulous tagline alone. Fun pick!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this sounds like an extremely crazy story! First time I've heard of it. Hope you can get your hands on it soon. Thanks for stopping by my Wednesday Post on Lisa Loves Literature earlier.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I need "crazy" in my books so I can forget about the "crazy" in my life!
DeleteI haven't read any good science fiction books in a long time. This one sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteIt certainly is a catch line and it sounds fun - hope you love it.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Thanks Lynn.
DeleteYES! This sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe should plan a buddy read sometime!
DeleteThis sounds like a really unique sci-fi and fantasy mash-up. Thanks for introducing it to me.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome.
DeleteOH.MY.GOSH. Barb!!! This is truly AMAZING!!! Yeah, "odd", "weird", and "kooky" are right up my alley!! LOVE this one!! Mr. Spock might mutter, "Illogical" to himself, but heck, I know Capt. Kirk would really enjoy reading this! As for Dr. McCoy, he would think it's HILARIOUS!! So, hey, if MY CREW has such INTENSE reactions, what the heck can this little ol' Terran do but GO FOR IT?!
ReplyDeleteSo, THANK YOU for putting this book on my Intergalactic Cosmic Ray Radar!! I'm beaming this one up just as soon as Scotty can get the coordinates!!
Thanks as well for swinging by my planet and commenting on my CWW post!! HUGS TO YOU AND THE BOYS, AND WOOF, WOOF TO THEM!!!! Live long and prosper, too!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
I'm glad it appeals to the Star Trek crew member in you!
DeleteIt SURE does!! Live long and prosper!! <3 :)
DeleteI haven't been able to read Scifi for a while now :( which kills me because I really want to finish books and series like the Long Way to small angry planet and Red Rising.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds interesting and fun! [I like odd and weird you know that :) ] I should add it for when I can read scifi again!
Yes you should :)
DeleteThis does sound unique! I hope it is as good as it sounds. I think I would like this one too!
ReplyDeleteOhh great pick Barb, this one is most definitely really looks and sounds very unique. I am really intrigued and curious about it. I hope you enjoy it when you get the chance. Thank you so much for stopping by my CW last week Barb.
ReplyDeleteThat is a half-unicorn on a spaceship. Hands down the coolest thing ever!
