Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we discuss what books we can't wait for! My pick for today is:
Cinderella's Dress by Shonna Slayton
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Expected Publication Date: June 3, 2014
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Being seventeen during
World War II is tough. Finding out you’re the next keeper of the real
Cinderella’s dresses is even tougher.
Kate simply wants to create window displays at the department store where she's working, trying to help out with the war effort. But when long-lost relatives from Poland arrive with a steamer trunk they claim holds the Cinderella’s dresses, life gets complicated.
Now, with a father missing in action, her new sweetheart, Johnny, stuck in the middle of battle, and her great aunt losing her wits, Kate has to unravel the mystery before it’s too late.
After all, the descendants of the wicked stepsisters will stop at nothing to get what they think they deserve.

Why I'm Waiting:
A historical fiction with a Cinderella twist? Sign me up. So first of all this is set during my favorite period of history to read about. I love WWII era stuff. It's just so interesting to me. And then this whole thing with Cinderella's dresses and descendants of the evil stepsisters. It just sounds so original to me. I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Have you heard of this one? What are your thoughts? What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I hadn't heard of this one before, but the synopsis has piqued my interest. Definitely sounds original...great pick! ~Pam
