Can't Wait Wednesday: 2.19.20


Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I am currently reading The Night Circus, which has put me in the mood for more circus themed novels. The cover pulled me in and then the premise got me hooked. This is one novel I am truly looking forward to this year. Only a few more weeks to go!! 


Harley in the Sky
By Akemi Dawn Bowman

Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary

Format: Hardcover & ebook

Length: 384 pages

Publication Date: March 10th, 2020 by Simon Pulse

Blurb:
Harley Milano has dreamed of being a trapeze artist for as long as she can remember. With parents who run a famous circus in Las Vegas, she spends almost every night in the big top watching their lead aerialist perform, wishing with all her soul that she could be up there herself one day.

After a huge fight with her parents, who continue to insist she go to school instead, Harley leaves home, betrays her family and joins the rival traveling circus Maison du Mystère. There, she is thrust into a world that is both brutal and beautiful, where she learns the value of hard work, passion and collaboration. But at the same time, Harley must come to terms with the truth of her family and her past—and reckon with the sacrifices she made and the people she hurt in order to follow her dreams.

  1. How fun! Circuses make such great settings, don't they? I hope you love this one when you read it.
