My Find! Title: Tell the Wolves I'm Home Author: Carol Rifka Blunt Release Date: 7th June, 2012 How I Found it: Browsing on NetGalley
Why I like the look of it...
The Cover
I think the cover is pretty. I can't even describe why, I just love it. I find that on my bookshelf green is the most neglected colour- so few green books! It's a good color for books! This cover is quite fairytale-esque too which I really like and the teapot and bear are cute :-) The Plot It sounds awesome...
1987. There’s only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that’s her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finn’s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. But Finn’s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life—someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.
At Finn’s funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finn’s apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend time together, June realizes she’s not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might be the one she needs the most.
It Sounds uber cute but also mysterious! I like that! Let me know if you want to read this book in the comments!
