“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is : Feral Creatures (Hollow Kingdom, #2) by Kira Jane Buxton – because I loved Hollow Kingdom and I was so happy to discover there would be a book 2! Here’s the description:
In this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom, the animal kingdom’s “favorite apocalyptic hero”is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald).
Once upon an apocalypse, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . . .
When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo.
That is, dear reader, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity’s last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what’s a crow to do?
Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that’s what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.
Expected publication : August 2021

I’m sure that I’ve read some worthy words to highlight this week but unfortunately I haven’t made a note of any so nothing from me today but stop over to Elza Reads to see what word(s) she’s discussing and check out the other links.
Feral Creatures is probably my most anticipated book of the year, I can hardly wait!
I’m probably going to wait for the audio because I loved the audio for book 1. Or maybe I’ll be too impatient.

Hi Lynn! Oh I love the idea of Hollow Kingdom! Just made a note of it here in my diary. That sounds like great fun and I love the witty writing style.
Next week we will all come up with a great new word for Wondrous Words Wednesday. You can use collective nouns as well – like a murder of crows. Will fit perfectly with this book!

Funnily enough one of the books I’ve just read was called A Murder of Crows – why didn’t I think to use that! I love all the collective nouns for Crows.
Lynn 😀
I love the sound of this!
The first book was really good. A zombie book with a difference.
Lynn 😀
Ooh yes, I can’t wait for this one!
Yes, much excitement – although I might wait for the audio because the first was so good.
Lynn 😀
I can’t wait to get my hands on Feral Creatures. I don’t want to mention any spoilers but there was a certain aspect in book one I never did get over yet it still remains one of my all-time favorite books. Bring this one on!
Ooh, I’m so curious about that ‘aspect’ that you never got over. Drat my curiosity.
Lynn 😀
I love the cover for this one! Never got a chance to check out the first one. Hope you enjoy this one, Lynn!
I like the cover too and even more so because it ties in nicely with the first.
Lynn 😀
