Waiting On Wednesday #5 – Every Heart a Doorway

Posted February 24, 2016 by Carole in Waiting On Wednesday / 14 Comments

 Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
My Waiting on Wednesday pick is:


Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
Series: Every Heart a Doorway #1
Publisher: Tor.com
Publication Date: April 5, 2016

Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Nancy tumbled once, but now she’s back. The things she’s experienced… they change a person. The children under Miss West’s care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

But Nancy’s arrival marks a change at the Home. There’s a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it’s up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of the matter.

No matter the cost.

Pre-Order:  Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | BAM!

Why Am I Waiting?

I just love the sound of this book and I think that the cover is gorgeous.  I requested it on NetGalley as soon as I saw it and waited patiently for an answer for a very long time.  My request was denied which made me just a little sad.  That’s okay – I didn’t cry too terribly long.  I have it pre-ordered for my kindle so I am still read to jump into this one as soon as it is released. 

What are you waiting for this week?

  1. Whoa, how did I miss this? I just looked on GR and it says it's only 160 pages and it's #1 in a series. I wonder if these are each full stories or if it's like a serial.

  2. Don't you hate it when you don't get Netgalley copies? I think it kills a little piece of my soul when that happens because usually it's the ones I want most that I'm denied. 🙁

    Hope you enjoy this book when you get it!

  3. Seems like I have been wanting to get this one forever. I think this was a hard ARC to get because I haven't seen a lot of people be successful. Hope we both love it!
