Waiting on Wednesday (6)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that allows us to appropriately squeal over upcoming releases.











THIS WEEK'S PICK:
Crewel by Gennifer Albin
Series: Crewel World
Publication Date: October 16th, 2012  
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Crewel (Crewel World, #1)
 Incapable. Awkward. Artless.

That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.

Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.

Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.

Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape.

Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.
I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the artistic cover. It actually looks sort of scientific, probably because of the geometric figures. The plot sounds amazingly creative, and I'm anxious to get my hands on this book!

  2. I can't wait for this either! I've heard really good things about it, but to be honest I probably would have bought it for the cover alone! So gorgeous. Crewel is definitely worth waiting on; great pick!
