Waiting on Wednesday #66: Scarlett Undercover by Jennifer Latham #Diversity
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where bloggers can rant and rave about any upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating. For my addition, I will be spotlighting an upcoming book AND sometimes I will throw in a video game release that I am dying to get my hands on!
This week in WoW, I’m waiting on a fascinating mystery staring a mart, sarcastic, kick-butt, Muslim American heroine! Check out my top pick this week…
