Waiting on Wednesday (July 27)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This weekly meme shares the upcoming books that I'm most excited about.

Bewitching by Alex Flinn

Kendra Hilferty, the witch who curses Kyle Kingsbury in Beastly, tells about her immortal existence—how she discovered she was a witch and the various ways she has used her powers to help people throughout the centuries. (Unfortunately her attempts have often backfired.) As it turns out, Kendra has actually had a hand in "Hansel and Gretel," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Little Mermaid"—but these are not the fairy tales you think you know! Kendra’s reminiscences are wrapped around a real-time version of "Cinderella," except the “ugly” stepsister is the good guy. With dark twists, hilarious turns, and unexpected endings, Bewitching is a contemporary read for fairy-tale lovers, fantasy fans, and anyone looking for more Alex Flinn.

A Movie Trailer on Monday

As I'm sure many of you know, the movie Beastly is going to be released July 30th. It's based on the book by Alex Flinn, and stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, and Mary-Kate Olsen. Plus, Neil Patrick Harris is in it (who else loved Dr. Horrible?).

Here's the trailer (sadly the whole thing doesn't fit in my layout, but I don't think anything too important gets cut off):
