Today’s post is my first Waiting on Wednesday post! I’m going to start doing one of these (hopefully) every wednesday! I am so freaking excited for Heartless by Marissa Meyer!! It’s a prologue to Alice and Wonderland, a backstory for the Queen of Hearts. I adore Meyer’s Cinder series, and every book has earned a 5 star rating from me.
Here is the summary from Goodreads:
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland — the infamous Queen of Hearts — she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king’s marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.
Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
AHHH! Could November 8th get here any sooner?!
Is anyone else excited for this book?

This looks so good! I haven’t got around to reading the Lunar Chronicles yet, though. Do you know if they link at all? Do I have to read those first?

The Lunar Chronicles link so you should read those in order, but Heartless doesn’t relate to them.
