"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by
Breaking the Spine to spotlight an upcoming release that we're excited about. This week I'm waiting on
Love in the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block.
Seventeen-year-old
Penelope (Pen) has lost everything—her home, her parents, and her
ten-year-old brother. Like a female Odysseus in search of home, she
navigates a dark world full of strange creatures, gathers companions and
loses them, finds love and loses it, and faces her mortal enemy.
In
her signature style, Francesca Lia Block has created a world that is
beautiful in its destruction and as frightening as it is lovely. At the
helm is Pen, a strong heroine who holds hope and love in her hands and
refuses to be defeated.
Love in the Time of Global Warming comes out August 27, 2013.
I'm excited for this one, too. I remember reading all the Weetzie Bat books in high school. This one sounds interesting and I love that cover. Great pick!

As a Weetzie Bat fan, I am always excited to see Francesca Lia Block in the spotlight as I know the book will be written with great style. LOOOVE the title by the way, and the subtle echo of LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA! My Wow: http://www.swardkehoe.blogspot.com/2013/06/waiting-on-wednesday-two-fall.html
