  • I've spent the last several days reading comics, and I am THIS CLOSE to being completely caught up! I think I'm finally finding a balance in my chaotic life. ;) Once & Future is still one of my all-time faves - highly recommend!

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly feature that's hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings. It highlights the upcoming releases we're really excited about reading! CWW is a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday (WoW), that was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

The Forest of Stolen Girls by June Hur
Expected publication: April 20th 2021 by Feiwel & Friends

Synopsis (via Goodreads): After her father vanishes while investigating the disappearance of 13 young women, a teen returns to her secretive hometown to pick up the trail in this second YA historical mystery from the author of The Silence of Bones.

Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest, near a gruesome crime scene. The only thing they remember: Their captor wore a painted-white mask.

To escape the haunting memories of this incident, the family flees their hometown. Years later, Detective Min—Hwani's father—learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared under similar circumstances, and so he returns to their hometown to investigate... only to vanish as well.

Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small village—and reconnects with her now estranged sister—Hwani comes to realize that the answer lies within her own buried memories of what happened in the forest all those years ago.

    1. It sounds wonderfully eerie! I already want to know why they were taken, what happened, and why neither of them can remember anything.

    1. I don't know why, but I've been in the mood for creepy books! I think it's because Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis left me wanting more.

    1. I think publishers postponed a lot of their release dates, so we're seeing A LOT of books coming out this year. I'm super excited about this one though!

    1. I don't normally seek out creepy/spooky reads, but that's weirdly what I've been in the mood for lately. Have you heard of Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis? It's a Poe retelling!
