This week’s anticipated book is:
Gilded by Marissa Meyer
About the Book:
Page Length: 512
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Synopsis: Long ago cursed by the god of lies, a poor miller’s daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue.
Or so everyone believes.
When one of Serilda’s outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. Love isn’t meant to be part of the bargain.
Soon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

I’ve been seeing this one around a lot lately and I’m pretty excited for it now 🙂 Looking forward to reading another Rumpelstiltskin retelling! That cover is gorgeous as well 😍
Right! It sounds like a good one!
I am so far behind on Meyer’s books. I need to get caught up!! I’m definitely here for the Rumpelstiltskin retelling!
Me too – it sounds so good!
I think a Rumpelstiltskin retelling would be interesting, but not sure if this is what I am looking for. I hope you enjoy this one, Julie.
Thank you!
I’m very excited for this book too!
I hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
Oh yes, also waiting for this book! I hope it will turn out great.

I am looking forward to Gilded as well. This will be my first book by Meyer.

This one’s on my TBR. But quite intimidated by the page length.😅
Oh, wow. I didn’t realize it was over 500 pages!
