 This week my pick is:

Prince of Song & Sea ~ Linsey Miller

Expected Publication: October 4th, 2022

Summary From Goodreads:

For fans of Twisted Tales and Villains is a brand new YA series that retells the classic Disney stories you thought you knew from the Disney Princes' perspectives.

Before Prince Eric’s mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse? If he were to kiss someone other than his true love, he would die. With a neighboring kingdom looking for any excuse to invade their shores, and rumors of ghost pirates lurking the seas, Eric is desperate for any information that may help him break his enchantment and bring stability to Vellona. The answers he has been searching for come to him in the form of a letter left from his mother that reveals Eric must find his true love, the one with a voice pure of heart,or kill the sea witch responsible for cursing him in the first place.

Now Eric is on a quest to find the Isle of Serein, the witch's legendary home. But after he is rescued by a mysterious young woman with a mesmerizing singing voice, Eric’s heart becomes torn. Does he enter a battle he is almost certain he cannot win or chase a love that might not even exist? And when a shipwrecked young woman with flaming red hair and a smile that could calm the seven seas enters his life, Eric may discover that true love isn’t something that can be decided by magic.

Why I Can't Wait: 

Y'all.

Everyone knows I am obsessed with a good fairytale retelling... And you want to know what I'm even MORE obsessed with? Prince Eric. He and Flynn are my absolute F A V O R I T E S, and so I cannot wait to read this story from Eric's POV.

Waiting On Wednesday: Seoulmates ~ Susan Lee

 This week, my pick is:

Seoulmates ~ Susan Lee

Expected publication: September 20, 2022

Summary From Goodreads:

Her ex-boyfriend wants her back. Her former best friend is in town. When did Hannah’s life become a K-drama?

Hannah Cho had the next year all planned out—the perfect summer with her boyfriend, Nate, and then a fun senior year with their friends.

But then Nate does what everyone else in Hannah’s life seems to do—he leaves her, claiming they have nothing in common. He and all her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas, and Hannah is not. After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that’s exactly what now has her on the outs.

But someone who does know K-dramas—so well that he’s actually starring in one—is Jacob Kim, Hannah’s former best friend, whom she hasn’t seen in years. He’s desperate for a break from the fame, so a family trip back to San Diego might be just what he needs…that is, if he and Hannah can figure out what went wrong when they last parted and navigate the new feelings developing between them.

 Why I Can't Wait:

I have been so excited for this one for such a long time. I've been basically watching nothing but Asian Rom/Com/Dramas for so so long, and I am always excited for books, that I hope will give me that same kind of warm and fuzzy feeling.

Why I Can't Wait:

I was absolutely in L O V E with book 1. Like, in big love with it. And there was stuff left unfinished between our fierce MC and Wenzhi. Like, excuse me, I need more closure.

And also. THAT COVER! is gorgeous and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I've been just staring at it for AGES

Why I Can't Wait

When I say I did a happy dance when I saw that this was a thing, I'm not lying. Also, I felt like I was living under a rock, because I didn't even know that this was going to be a thing until... 2 weeks ago I think? Whatever. I adore this series. FIRE, is one of my absolute favorite books in the whole wide world.
