Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we feature the books we're waiting for!

So this Wednesday, I'm waiting for a book that's already come out but is not in India yet for some reason. I love my historical novel with a dash of fantasy, and there is HG Wells in it! Time travel plus intelligentsia. Yum. Too bad it happens to be absurdly expensive on the book sites that ship here.
(Isn't the cover awesome?!)


MAP OF TIME by Felix. J. Palma and Nick Caistor


GOODREADS SUMMARY

Set in Victorian London with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time boasts a triple play of intertwined plots in which a skeptical H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including Dracula and The Time Machine, from being wiped from existence.
What happens if we change history? The author explores this question in the novel, weaving an historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting—a story full of love and adventure that transports readers to a haunting setting in Victorian London for their own taste of time travel.

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Ah, been a while since I did one of these. Anyway, as you all know, Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and is all about spreading some blogosphere love. The question for this week is: Q. Have You Ever Bought a Book Because of a Bad Review? A: Yes, I bought the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare after one of my good friends read the book and trashed it so much that I just HAD to read it. Of course, her being a Harry Potter fan and fan-fiction writer was the main problem here: she had heard about the whole plagiarism fiasco and we had both read Cassandra's HP fanfic- the Draco Trilogy- and she thought the Mortal Instruments was basically a recycling of DT. Anyway, I read the book and sort of liked it: it was mindless fun if you ignored all the glamour-people and HP comparisons and glitter fizz. I liked Magnus Bane, at least. Leave your FF links :) Happy Follow Friday!

    So it's my very first Follow Friday blog-hop. Yaayy.  Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and this week's question is.....          Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?   A. This one's easy.  Historical romance.  Give me anything with princes, princesses, marquises, swooning heroines, men in breeches, stories about evil twins and lost princes and inheritances and dowries...and I'll faint. But not before I barf.      Anything where women don't wear jeans or, in fact, anything above the knee, cannot stand up for themselves against abusive males (or do stand up and is branded a rebel, a wild-cat to be TAMED. UGH) and one look from a male melts off her kneecaps is a no-no for me. Put in castles and old English and nasty, unfleeable arranged marriages and I am dead. Bear in mind that I'm talking about those pink-and-yellow jacketed...
