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: When Lacy wakes up dead in Westminster Cemetery, final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe, she's confused. It's the job of Sam, a young soldier who died in 1865, to teach her the rules of the afterlife and to warn her about Suppression--a punishment worse than death.
Lacy desperately wants to leave the cemetery and find out how she died, but every soul is obligated to perform a job. Given the task of providing entertainment, Lacy proposes an open mic, which becomes a chance for the cemetery's residents to express themselves. But Lacy is in for another shock when surprising and long-buried truths begin to emerge.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I can't determine if this is MG or YA but either way, I'm pretty sure I want to read it. I love the historical element of it and come on, an open mic night in a cemetery with the ghosts of dead inhabitants? It kind of screams "Barb, read me!"
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK????
Oh YUP! This sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is awesome as well.
DeleteOh, I totally agree! Whatever it is, this is a damned original premise!
ReplyDeleteI like it too - and pretty original.
DeleteSounds super fun and creepy. I like historical fiction books too. I didn't use to but after reading the Outlander books I enjoy historical fiction more. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd like historical fiction but have learned when it's teamed with mystery, thrillers or horror - I love it.
DeleteIt certainly sounds different!
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
DeleteThis sounds really good, to me it sounds maybe on the younger, lighter end of the spectrum. But great choice😊
ReplyDeleteI do believe it's MG but hey, I like it from time to time so it's all good!
DeleteIt sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteWell, this sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie!
DeleteOooh! This sounds like a creepy read! Great pick!

The creepier the better.
DeleteI have this one on my TBR too! I like these afterlife-teacher-student type stories.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI live near Baltimore where Westminster Hall is located, so anything Poe related is a pretty big deal around these parts. I'll probably have to read this one just out of sheer interest alone. Thanks for the find!

Poe was such an interesting individual. It must be close to live nearby there.
DeleteI'm about to surprise you again, Barb!! I actually LIKE this one! It sounds like a LOT of fun! I mean, "Open Mic Night" for ghosts? AWESOME!! Hmmmm....methinks I smell another buddy read! Lol.

DeleteOpen mic night in a cemetery? That sounds fabulous! If it turns out to be middle grade, I'll have to get that one for my son.

ReplyDeleteI thought you'd like it.
DeleteOhh wow what a great pick Barb, this is actually the first time I heard about this book and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteThe mention of Edgar Allan Poe and a cemetery caught my attention. This sounds like it will be fun!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of this one... but it's probably a little too creepy for my reader tastes. ;) Hope you enjoy, Barb - and thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland.
