There’s nothing like a Wednesday for thinking about the books we want to read! My Wishing & Waiting on Wednesday post is linking up with two fabulous book memes, Wishlist Wednesday (hosted by Pen to Paper) and Waiting on Wednesday (hosted by Breaking the Spine).
This week, I’m excited about:
She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick
(to be released April 22, 2014)
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Laureth Peak’s father has taught her to look for recurring events, patterns, and numbers–a skill at which she’s remarkably talented. Her secret: She is blind. But when her father goes missing, Laureth and her 7-year-old brother Benjamin are thrust into a mystery that takes them to New York City where surviving will take all her skill at spotting the amazing, shocking, and sometimes dangerous connections in a world full of darkness. She Is Not Invisible is an intricate puzzle of a novel that sheds a light on the delicate ties that bind people to each other.
I just read Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick this past week, which was beautiful and altogether unusual (my review is here if you want to know more), and at this point I’d be willing to read anything by this author! She Is Not Invisible sounds completely different, but there’s something about the synopsis that really appeals to me, and I’m eager to give it a try.

I totally loved Midwinterblood, and I have one other book of his on my shelf (The Foreshadowing) that I’m looking forward to as well!
I really need to read something by Marcus Sedgwick and this sounds like a good place to start. Thanks for sharing!
My WOW
Got this one recently on NG and I’m really looking forward to it–it will be my first book by this author:)
I hope you enjoy it! I’m looking forward to reading a few of his books! 🙂
Midwinterblood will definitely be the first one I read by this author but this one sounds super good too. Thanks for sharing!
My WoW Pick!
Ooh, I hope you love Midwinterblood! I’ll look forward to your reaction. 🙂
Is the linky up this week? I wrote my post but can’t find PentoPaper’s linky 😦
I didn’t see it last night — meant to go back and look again. Thanks for the reminder!
Oops, updated to add: Just went back to Pen to Paper — it’s up!
This book looks amazing. 🙂
I’ve read quite a few of Marcus Sedgewick’s books and they were all so good. This looks great to, so I’ll have to add it to my TBR list!
What other ones do you recommend? I have a copy of The Foreshadowing on my shelf and hope to read it in the next month or so. 😉
I enjoyed The Foreshadowing when I read it, although it was a while ago so I think it’s time for a reread! 🙂 I also really liked Blood Red, Snow White and My Swordhand is Singing.
Thanks!
Great pick! I keep seeing this at work and I keep having to stop myself from borrowing it, it looks so good. Thanks for sharing 🙂 My WoW
I’m really looking forward to it… but yes, the problem is that so many books look good, and I want to read them all!
I haven’t read any of his books yet, but I really need to! This one sounds really awesome! Great choice! Hope you’re having an awesome week!
xo, Becca

I’ve only read one book by Marcus Sedgwick so far, Midwinterblood — but I loved it so much that I have to read more! Thanks for your comments and for stopping by!
