Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted
by Breaking the Spine where
we show off books that we want to read but have not been published yet.
Title: The Sweetest Spell
Author: Suzanne Selfors
Release Date: 21 August 2012
Link to / Summary from Goodreads: Emmeline Thistle has always had a mysterious bond with cows, beginning on the night of her birth, when the local bovines saved the infant cast aside to die in the forest. But Emmeline was unaware that this bond has also given her a magical ability to transform milk into chocolate, a very valuable gift in a kingdom where chocolate is more rare and more precious than gold or jewels. Then one day Owen Oak, a dairyman’s son, teaches Emmeline to churn milk into butter – and instead she creates a delicious chocolate confection that immediately makes her a target for every greedy, power-hungry person in the kingdom of Anglund. Only Owen loves Emmeline for who she truly is, not her magical skill. But is his love enough to save her from the danger all around her?
Why I want it: The Ugly Duckling? You (should, if you read this) know that I love re-tellings of almost any kind. And I loved one of Suzanne’s other books, Mad Love. So, looks like something I’ll love.
What are YOU waiting on this week?
