Hey Wonderful Bloggers!
I hope you all are having as amazing and extraordinary a week as I am!
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine!
It is a perfect way to add more wonderful books to your TBR pile.
This week I am anxiously waiting on a book that sadly will not be published till August 14th, 2012.
Miranda has Shakespeare in her blood: she hopes one day to become a Shakespearean actor like her famous parents. At least, she does until her disastrous performance in her school's staging of The Taming of the Shrew. Humiliated, Miranda skips the opening-night party. All she wants to do is hide.
Fellow cast member, Stephen Langford, has other plans for Miranda. When he steps out of the backstage shadows and asks if she'd like to meet Shakespeare, Miranda thinks he's a total nutcase. But before she can object, Stephen whisks her back to 16th century England—the world Stephen's really from. He wants Miranda use her acting talents and modern-day charms on the young Will Shakespeare. Without her help, Stephen claims, the world will lost its greatest playwright.
Miranda isn't convinced she's the girl for the job. Why would Shakespeare care about her? And just who is this infuriating time traveler, Stephen Langford? Reluctantly, she agrees to help, knowing that it's her only chance of getting back to the present and her "real" life. What Miranda doesn't bargain for is finding true love . . . with no acting required.

My favorite things include history, dramatical theater, time travel,
Shakesphearan plays (especially Hamlet) and romance.
This book appears, based on its marvelous synopsis, that it contains all those fantastic factors!
What are you waiting on?
That sounds interesting

I'm also excited about this book. I love a great historical romance. I'm not a big Shakespeare person though. I think I could get past that though. Anyways, great pick!

ReplyDeleteShakespeare is always such a wonderful figure to read about, especially because we've all read his works.
