WoW #312 ~ The Weaver Bride Happy Wednesday y'all! This week I'm eagerly waiting on The Weaver Bride by . I loved this author's first book so much that I wanted to read this one before I read the blurb. All I needed to know was that Gregovic wrote it.

#WaitingonWednesday I'm eagerly waiting on Lydia Gregovic's THE WEAVER BRIDE, a haunting YA romantasy, that comes out next month. What are you waiting on this week?

The cover caught my eye first on this one, but then when I read the blurb, I knew I needed to read it.
