Evening!~

A happy welcome to a new sparkly shiny sunny Waiting on Wednesday! Whoo, halfway through the week already~ parties carefully

Today a book that I just LOVE the sound of, The Weirdest Wonders on Earth by Sophie Burrows. I read her earlier book Weird Sea full of sea stuff from animals to strange sea places and myths and really had a good time with it. And now she is releasing (on June 11th) a new book this time featuring weird wonders of Earth. The blurb already promises some places I would love to visit and learn more about so I am very very excited. I hope it is just as delightful as her first book and just as weird as well~ Plus, I am looking forward to the illustrations in the book, those were really fun in the previous one.

Are you looking forward to this one? Or is this something that sounds fun to you, too? Let me know in the comments~
