Waiting on Wednesday: One of our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde

I’m sorry for the lack of posts here over the weekend — I needed a mental health day so I went up North with some of my friends. I hardly read during the weekend so there wasn’t much to review save for the post before this. I’m getting back on track now, but I have to write some more stuff on the other blog and do work and deal with real life, so now, I give a Waiting on Wednesday post.

I’ve made a rule for myself in making this post. I will only really post about books that I really am waiting for, and not just any book I spotted online. I’ve posted other WoWs about books that I just saw and I never got them, or when I got them, I was underwhelmed. From now on, this will only be for the releases I am really anticipating.

My last WoW was from one of my favorite YA authors, Sarah Dessen. This time, I’m waiting for another book from a favorite author and a favorite series:

One of our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde
Release Date: February 22, 2011

Jasper Fforde’s exuberant return to the fantastical BookWorld opens during a time of great unrest. All-out Genre war is rumbling, and the BookWorld desperately needs a heroine like Thursday Next. But with the real Thursday apparently retired to the Realworld, the Council of Genres turns to the written Thursday.

The Council wants her to pretend to be the real Thursday and travel as a peacekeeping emissary to the warring factions. A trip up the mighty Metaphoric River beckons-a trip that will reveal a fiendish plot that threatens the very fabric of the BookWorld itself.

Jasper Fforde is one of my favorite grown up authors, and Thursday Next is one of my heroines. I thought all of her adventures ended in Something Rotten, but I was thrilled to know Fforde was writing another book. I got First Among the Sequels three years ago (!!!) and loved it, and the wait for the next was just too long. I’m so glad I won’t have to wait any longer, since this will be out in 13 days (as of this post)!

It’s such a Fforde year for me this year, as I finally got my copy of The Last Dragonslayer a week ago, and then this next book is coming out very soon. I can’t wait to get my hands on this — I wonder what craziness will Thursday be up against next? I think the first five Thursday Next books are up for a reread. The question is: do I have the time to do that? :o

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

6 Thoughts on “Waiting on Wednesday: One of our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde

  1. Oh, great! You got The Last Dragonslayer! Printed or ebook? Have you read it? It’s classic Fforde.:)

    Been waiting for this book, too, but told myself not to order it until I get my last delivery from Book Depository.

    • HI Honey! I got it from Fully Booked — spotted the only copy when I decided to pass by the store last week. I had a feeling they had some new books in, and I was right. I got the trade paperback version, and it’s about $1 cheaper than Book Depository’s but that’s because I had a discount card. I haven’t read it yet, but I will after I finish the one I’m reading. :)

      I’ve been thinking of pre-ordering this from Book Depository, just so I could see how pre-ordering goes. I’ll decide next week, when some blogging money comes in. :)

  2. What great covers; enjoy!

  3. I still need to START this series (which I hope to as soon as I finish Maisie Dobbs!)

  4. I definitely need to check out this series! :)
