Hello lovelies!
I can’t believe April is here! I know I’ve probably already said this a ton, but wow the year is flying by! I only have a few more weeks left and then I’ll be halfway done my Grad degree 😀 I think I’ll do a half-way through report for you guys 🙂
Anyway, as per Wednesday, read on to see what I can’t wait to get my hands on! This week’s pick sounds like the perfect summer (or end of school) read!
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, where you can highlight upcoming releases that you are eagerly anticipating!
What I’m waiting on:

- The blurb drew me in so fast! It sounds like a great equal parts adventure story, equal parts healing story. I’m very interested to see how this story will be written POV wise too!
- I’m also interested in seeing where the characters travel too and be able to experiences these European countries/cities.
- And those Madonna postcards! What is all that about?! I must know!
- Also that title and cover?! Yup, yup I’m definitely interested in reading this story haha
