Title: The Diviners
Author: Libba Bray
Series: Diviners #1
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: September 18, 2012
Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
Why I'm waiting: Where do I start? I love, LOVE, LOVED Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series. I really wish it could have gone on further, but it also made sense to end it where she did. Anyway, I've got a few of her other works on my TBR list, as well, and I'm sure they're raucous and hilarious, just like the author herself. But I think...no, I know, that I'll prefer when she writes in a time period other than the present. And when she writes about magic. Her writing is magical, in and of itself, and I can't wait to see what she does with the Diviners series.
Oh, and the trailer was just released! Take a peek:
Wow, that gave me chills! Beautiful and creepy! I. LOVE. IT. Seriously, I want this book yesterday!
I am SO excited about this book! Can't wait til it comes out! :)
ReplyDeleteNice pick! I have Beauty Queens, but haven't actually read any of Bray's books. And come to think of it, I'm not a fan of the 1920s. But for some reason The Diviners looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Really? I love the 20s...I probably dress up as a flapper for Halloween every other year or so. :)
DeleteThis one sounds really interesting! I think I started the Gemma Doyle series, but didn't ever get past the first book. I should try again!
ReplyDeleteMy Wow Post!

Very creepy trailer!! I got this ARC at BEA, and have yet to read it. I've only read Beauty Queens by this author, but now I'm more intrigued to read this one too!
ReplyDeleteYou got an ARC and you didn't read it immediately? For shame! :P That would have been the first book I read! :)
DeleteGreat pick! I love Libba Bray's novels & I can't wait for this one. I really like the trailer as well. :)

Well, at least we're keeping it on an even playing field. You make me add one, I make you add one. :P But I can't really be made when you're recommending awesome reads. :)
DeleteOhhh I love a good mystery especially thrown in with creepy crawlies and secrets powers and New York! Great pick and thanks for stopping by My WOW!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Gemma Doyle series is my favorite -- but Libba Bray is on that "I'll read anything she writes" list.
