Throwback Thursday

This week's submission:

The Diviners
by Libba Bray
Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies." 
When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.

I won this book from Jenny of Supernatural Snark and I can't wait to dive into it.
So what is waiting for you this week?

  5. I loved The Diviners, it was such a different, interesting read. It can be a bit hard to get into, but the effort certainly pays off in the second half.
    Can't wait to read your review!

  6. Diviners is a whopping six hundred pages and I loved Evie and her story but some of the side stories never fit in and it made this book long. Good luck wiht it!

    1. One of my fave books was 800 and it didn't faze me at all. Not happy about the sides, but it does sound like it ends well. :)

  8. I loved this book, all 100,000 pages of it (or so it feels, when you feel how heavy it is!). Seriously though, it flew by for me and Evie is such a fantastic character. Hope you enjoy!
