We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, Briony Rosewood knows that the world as she knows it is changed forever. The dark forces of Bomard have won and her people, the Eversuns, face imminent servitude, imprisonment or death. Her brother, fated to be heir twice over and unite the warring kingdoms, is dead.

Stripped of her Mind Magic and her freedom, Briony and the other survivors are quickly auctioned off to the highest bidders in an auction – and as the heir-apparent’s sister, she fetches the highest price.

After a fierce bidding war, she’s sold to none other than Toven a high ranking Bomardsun – and her long-time and ill-fated infatuation. Scion of a family known for their cruel control of Heart Magic, the Hearsts are ruthlessly ambitious, and Briony knows they will use her however they can to further their own interests.

Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to play within it, all is not lost. Help – and hope – may yet arise in the most unlikely of places…

I’m really excited about this release! This book is a rewrite of the fanfiction The Auction, a Harry Potter fanfiction or more specifically a Dramione fanfic. I haven’t read The Auction yet, but I do want to and I have it downloaded to my Kindle. The Auction isn’t available on AO3 anymore but there are still places you can find it. This was originally a Dark AU where Voldemort won and surviving Order members got sold off to the highest bidder. And Hermione was one of those members who got auctioned off.

This story is rewritten as an original story set in a different fantasy world but is still based on the Auction. I’m really curious to see what remains of the original story and if there is still some Harry Potter influence in there. The story sounds interesting enough on its own and I really hope it lives up to the hype.

Do you plan on picking this one up? Have you read The Auction? What did you think of that one? I would love to hear your thoughts down below!
