Waiting on Wednesday #11

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly awaiting.

I am awaiting the release of:

Beautiful Days
(Bright Young Things Series #2)
by Anna Godbersen

UK Publication Date: September 1st 2011
Publisher: Puffin




Summary (courtesy of Goodreads):
The exciting sequel to Bright Young Things, by the bestselling author of The Luxe, promises romance, adventure, and intrigue in the final days of the Roaring Twenties.
In this must-have sequel to Bright Young Things, Cordelia and Letty are small-town girls no longer. Letty is ready at last to chase her Broadway dreams. Cordelia thought she lost her true love, but a chance meeting will change her fortune—and her future. The unflappable flapper Astrid Donal has promised herself to Charlie Grey, Cordelia’s half-brother, but isn’t sure their love is true enough to survive. And a bitter rivalry will ensnare them all in a dangerous feud played out in the speakeasies of Manhattan and on the great lawns of Long Island. As these bright young things live out their beautiful days in the summer of 1929, they find romance and heartbreak, adventure and intrigue, new friends and unexpected rivals.

Why I want to read this:
While I'm not a massive fan of Anna Godbersen's writing, I do enjoy it. I liked The Luxe series and I liked Bright Young Things, I am fascinated by the Roaring '20s and all this together makes for a fascinating premises! So bring it on!

    If I could travel to any other time, it'd be the roaring twenties. Bright Young Things made me totally fall in love with that period, so I can't wait for this one either! Great pick!

    Hi ,

    I've not heard of this one. I've not read anything from the roaring 20's...fancy that...I had not thought about that until now. Might be time to have a read.

    I haven't got round to Bright Young Things Yet - I've read The Luxe books and wasn't overly enamored with the writing, but one day I probably will give them a go just because I love the 20s!

    Great choice!

    I love the cover art for this series, but I haven't yet read the first one. The 1920s are a great time period, though - nice pick!

    If you’d like, you can check out my WoW here.
