Can't Wait Wednesday, which I have adapted to better suit my blog as "Feed Your TBR" 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 a librarian discovers she’s descended from a long line of powerful witches, she’ll need all of her bookish knowledge to harness her family’s magic, in this enchanting cozy fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay.
Zoe Ziakas enjoys a quiet life, working as a librarian in her quaint New England town. When a mysterious black book with an unbreakable latch is delivered to the library, Zoe has a strange feeling the tome is somehow calling to her. She decides to consult the Museum of Literature, home to volumes of indecipherable secrets, some possessing magic that must be guarded. The collection is known as the of Books of Dubious Origin.
Here, Zoe discovers that she is the last descendant of a family of witches and this little black book is their grimoire. Zoe knows she must decode the family’s spell book and solve the mystery of what happened to her mother and her grandmother. However, the book's potential power draws all things magical to it, and Zoe finds herself under the constant watch of a pesky raven, while being chased by undead Vikings, ghost pirates, and assorted ghouls.
With assistance from the eccentric staff of the Books of Dubious Origin—including their annoyingly smart and handsome containment specialist, Jasper Griffin—Zoe must confront her past and the legacy of her family. But as their adventure unfolds, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to embrace her destiny.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: First of all we have a library, books and witches. If that isn't enough, I ADORE this author. I've read her entire Library Lover's cozy mystery series and even a few of her romance titles. Can't wait to see what she does with cozy fantasy.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I love the way it sounds. I am not familiar with this author, but I will certainly give her a try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think this is already on my TBR, and it grabbed me because of the library/witch combo! I'm glad you love the author, that's a good sign that this will work for me:-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be heaps of fun - and I love the cover. For the record - if I discovered I was the last in a long line of witches - I'd run away as fast as I could in the opposite direction!
ReplyDeleteI love this author! This sounds wonderful - a new series. I'm definitely adding this to my list right now.
ReplyDeleteI've read a bit of this author. I hope you enjoy this one.
