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 dinosaur detective in the land of unwanted ideas battles trauma, anxiety, and the first serial killer of imaginary friends.
Most ideas fade away when we're done with them. Some we love enough to become Real. But what about the ones we love, and walk away from?
Tippy the triceratops was once a little girl's imaginary friend, a dinosaur detective who could help her make sense of the world. But when her father died, Tippy fell into the Stillreal, the underbelly of the Imagination, where discarded ideas go when they're too Real to disappear. Now, he passes time doing detective work for other unwanted ideas - until Tippy runs into The Man in the Coat, a nightmare monster who can do the impossible: kill an idea permanently. Now Tippy must overcome his own trauma and solve the case, before there's nothing left but imaginary corpses.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: So you never know what book you'll find popping up each Wednesday right? Sometimes you get mysteries, sometimes horror and sometimes dogs. Well this time, you're getting something weird, which happens from time to time as well. I just need to know more about this book and feel that the only way to do it is read it! I may just fall in love with Tippy!
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK????
This certainly sounds pretty different! I do like my dinosaurs...
ReplyDeleteI know how much you do. And Tippy sounds so cute!
DeleteThis sounds utterly adorable, and original and yes, weird. But also -- I am loving the mystery as well! Brilliant, pick, Barb!
ReplyDeleteYea the mystery side will probably help pull in more readers because let's face it, it does sound odd.
DeleteI just added this to my list as well, it sounds so different!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was on Goodreads getting the synopsis I saw it was on your shelf already. It sounds like a fun read.
DeleteThat sure is a catchy title! 😃
ReplyDeleteYep and those colors on covers always catch my attention too.
DeleteThis sounds so good and unique! I'm definitely intrigued! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
DeleteThis sounds totally unique. An imaginary (?) triceratops detective? I LOVE this idea.
ReplyDeleteHow fun right?
DeleteI love that Tippy was once someone's imaginary friend! :D
ReplyDeleteGood ole' Tippy - and a great name too!
DeleteWell, if you were looking for something different, you definitely succeeded. It does sound interesting. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI always can find dog books and "different" it seems.
DeleteOoh, this synopsis kind of makes me sad for Tippy. I'm rooting for him!
ReplyDeleteI can see that. I hope Tippy is living his best life in this book!
DeleteOooh! I love the cover of this book! Great pick and thanks for commenting on my WoW post!

ReplyDeleteI hope it's fun read but I really hate waiting. Sometimes a book just screams at you right?

ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome. I always love checking out your CWW posts!
DeleteNow I wish I'd paid more attention to this when I first saw it. What a great idea - plus a triceratops detective - it sounds fun and I would love to see how the author handles it.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I can't wait for it. It's probably one of my most anticipated releases now.
