Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it! 
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren't) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!

• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it! 

This one is due out this fall and I'm in love with the cover as much as the synopsis. I have a soft spot for fairy books and must read them all. I'm impatiently looking forward to this one.

Stray
by Elissa Sussman
Expected Publication October 7th 2014
(Goodreads)

Princess Aislynn knows all about the curse. Its magic is a part of her, like her awkward nose and thin fingers. It’s also something she can’t control. And girls who can’t control their abilities have a tendency to disappear. So for her own protection, Aislynn is sworn into the Order of Fairy Godmothers where she must spend the rest of her life chaste and devoted to serving another royal family.

Tasked with tending to the sweet, but sheltered Princess Linnea, Aislynn also finds a reluctant friend in the palace gardener, Thackery, who makes no secret of his disdain for her former life. The more time they spend together, though, the more she begins to doubt the rules she has observed so obediently. As Aislynn’s feelings threaten to undo the sacred vows she has taken, she risks not only her own life but Linnea’s as well. With the princess engaged to a devoted follower of The Path, there are some who would do anything to keep Aislynn from straying.

What are you musing today?

  1. Wow, this sounds like a very twisted fairy tale. I'm getting intense vibes just from the blurb, and that cover looks eerie yet gorgeous. I hope this book lives up to your expectations, and thanks for putting it on my radar!
