Waiting on Wednesday # 29 - The Hunt of the Unicorn
Summary from Goodreads.com
Elayne thinks the old family story that one of her ancestors stepped through a tapestry into a world of mythical beasts makes a great fireside tale. But she lives in the real world. In New York City. And she's outgrown that kind of fantasy.
Until she finds herself in front of a unicorn tapestry at the Cloisters museum and sees her initials woven into the fabric. And hears a unicorn calling to her. And slips and falls—into that other world.
Suddenly the line between fantasy and reality isn't so clear. But the danger is real enough. Almost before she can think, Elayne is attacked by a ferocious beast, rescued by a unicorn, and taken prisoner by a tyrant king. Each of them seems to have an idea about her—that she's a hero, a villain, dinner!
But Elayne has a few ideas of her own. She wants to overthrow the king; she wants to tame the unicorn. She wants to go home! And she's willing to become both hero and villain to do it.

Sounds really good but it reminds me a little bit of Warped which comes out in January, just the tapestry part. Great pick, I'll be adding it to my list.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about this one too. As a kid I was fascinated by unicorns, collecting every statue I could find. Can't wait great pick!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at the word unicorn . . . plus the cover is quite lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous. And unicorns! Now there's something I haven't read about at all! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
I can't wait for this one! For some reason I always forget about it though. Thanks for reminding me again!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this one, but I'm so excited about it! Unicorns...don't get nearly enough of them ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this one. Unicorns? Hmmm, don't read much about those.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WOW: The Simon Pulse "Elizabeth" Edition.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great read and I am loving the cover. I hope when you get your book, you enjoy it. Wanna see what I am Waiting On Wednesday for?
ReplyDeleteNice Waiting on Wednesday:D Check out mine please :D http://halesalvatoresupernaturalmustreads.blogspot.com/2010/12/waiting-on-wednesdays-2.html
ReplyDeleteThis one's on my list too. Like Cynthia the tapestry bit reminds me of Warped, but the rest of it sounds quite different. Elayne sounds like a pretty strong-minded protagonist!
ReplyDeleteI've never really been a huge fan of these types of books, but they always have really complex and beautiful covers which I can totally appreciate. Hope you enjoy!
