"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Tris & Izzie
Mette Ivie Harrison
Release Date: October 11, 2011
A modern retelling of the German fairytale "Tristan and Isolde", Tris and Izzie is about a young witch named Izzie who is dating Mark King, the captain of the basketball team and thinks her life is going swimmingly well. Until -- she makes a love potion for her best friend Brangane and then ends up taking it herself accidentally, and falling in love with Tristan, the new guy at school.
Summary taken from Goodreads.
To start of, what a beautiful cover! I love everything about it. Especially the great colours, it really makes the cover pop and more memorable. Also, water on covers seems to be a growing trend and I really like it. Someone obviously put a lot of effort into making this cover and I am so very appreciative! Now to what the story is actually about. I didn't know at first that this was a retelling but now I'm even more intrigued. Also, I've never read the fairy tale, Tristan and Isolde. So this will be a whole new experience for me and boy am I excited. Looks like a very fun read, I mean love potion come on guys!!!
What Are You Waiting On!

I've seen this on Net Galley before and almost requested it, but never got the chance to. It sounds really interesting, I've only read one retelling of Tristan and Isolde
ReplyDeleteI've seen this one before and it looks very cool. I love the cover too!
