The Secret

Waiting on Wednesday: The Forbidden Orchid by Sharon Biggs Waller {111}

Title: The Forbidden Orchid
Author: Sharon Biggs Waller
Release date: February 2, 2016
Staid, responsible Elodie Buchanan is the eldest of ten sisters living in a small English market town in 1861. The girls' father is a plant hunter, usually off adventuring through the jungles of China. 

Then disaster strikes: Mr. Buchanan fails to collect an extremely rare and valuable orchid, meaning that he will be thrown into debtors' prison and the girls will be sent to the orphanage or the poorhouse. Elodie's father has one last chance to return to China, find the orchid, and save the family—and this time, thanks to an unforeseen twist of fate, Elodie is going with him. Elodie has never before left her village, but what starts as fear turns to wonder as she adapts to seafaring life aboard the tea clipper The Osprey, and later to the new sights, dangers, and romance of China. 

But even if she can find the orchid, how can she find herself now that staid, responsible Elodie has seen how much the world has to offer?

I looooved Sharon's last book, A Mad, Wicked Folly, so of course I'm dying for her next! Plus this sounds so good--adventure in China! Hoorah!

 So what are you guys waiting on this week? :)

Review: The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Release date: January 26, 2016 Author info: Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Razorbill Pages: 400 Format: ARC Source: Gifted Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.  Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start…until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s ...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review! Hii! Nothing much exciting going on for me this week, just the holiday meeting at work this morning. I used my last bit of vacation and visited my best friend this week, and we spent too much money. Oops. :) ANYWAY, on to the books! Purchased: Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson (signed! YAY!) Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt Traded: The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman I am more than a little bit excited to have this in my hands, y'all.

I did a happy dance when I saw what it was. I love that tote! Books I read this week: The Sun Is Also a Star   by Nicola Yoon I'm currently reading: Notorious Pleasures b...
