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.
A modern-day dark academia fantasy with a twist, perfect for fans of Babel and A Deadly Education.
Warren University has stood amongst the ivy elite for centuries, built on the bones―and forbidden magic―of its most prized BIPOC students…hiding the rot of a secret society that will do anything to keep their own powers burning bright. No matter who they must sacrifice along the way.
Ellory Morgan is determined to prove that she belongs at Warren University, an ivy league school whose history is deeply linked to occult rumors and dark secrets. But as she settles into her Freshman year, something about the ornate buildings and shadowy paths feels strangely…familiar. And, with every passing day, that sense of déjà vu grows increasingly sinister.
Despite all logic, despite all reason, despite all the rules of reality, Ellory knows one thing to be true: she has been here before. And if she can’t convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic…this time, she may lose herself for good.
Dark Academia fantasy already grabs my interest, but seeing a mention of A Deadly Education definitely draws me in. The early reviews are very promising and they make me want to read this even more!
A Black MC who experiences déjà vu and needs to remember something, possibly enemies to lovers, dark academia. I’m so intrigued! According to the reviews there are twists you won’t see coming and the ending will make you feel a lot of things. The more I talk about this one, the more I would love to get my hands on a copy right away haha.
Was this one on your radar? Have you read anything by Kamilah Cole before? I would love to hear from you down below!
What a fantastic cover! And, like you, I really enjoy magical school mysteries and this one looks really promising. I would also recommend Emily Tesh’s The Incandescent if you haven’t already had the pleasure. It’s right up there as one of my favourite reads of the year so far and is a stormingly good magical school adventure.
