Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Breaking The Spine where I talk about books that I am eagerly anticipating!
This week, my WoW pick is…..
Into The Dim by Janet B. Taylor Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on March 1, 2016
Genres: Young Adult, Science Fiction
Goodreads
Being “the homeschooled girl,” in a small town, Hope Walton’s crippling phobias and photographic memory don’t help her fit in with her adoptive dad’s perfectly blonde Southern family. But when her mother is killed in a natural disaster thousands of miles from home, Hope’s secluded world crumbles. After an aunt she’s never met invites her to spend the summer in Scotland, Hope discovers that her mother was more than a brilliant academic. She’s a member of a secret society of time travelers, and is actually trapped in the twelfth century in the age of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Now Hope must conquer her numerous fears and travel back in time to help rescue her mother before she’s lost for good. Along the way, she’ll discover more family secrets, and a mysterious boy who could be vital to setting her mother free… or the key to Hope’s undoing. Addictive, romantic, and rich with historical detail, Into the Dim is an Outlander for teens.
Obviously, you had me at Outlander for teens, although I am a sucker for any type of time travel story. Why does March have to be so far away????

Oh this sounds great, Kate. I am intrigued by time travel in YA. Have you read Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone? also another YA time travel. But this one sounds like it might be the set up for a series which would be cool!

Yes, I love TBU!
This one looks like it will be good. Hope you get a chance to read it soon.
Saw this one on Edelweiss this morning, but decided not to go for it. It does look good but I’m trying to get all my others read before I request more. I hope that I can keep it up. It’s hard when something looks worthy of reading, as does this one. Pretty cover!
You are a better person than I! 🙂
I haven’t had much luck with time travelling novels, I just haven’t met the right one I guess. This sounds really exciting though, count me in!
Yes, I am so excited for this! I mean, it’s got time travel, it’s got history and it’s got romance – all things I love! I might do a bit of pre-reading research though because I know next to nothing about Henry II… Great pick!
Oooo! One of my bloggy friends is really really excited about this one! I actually don’t know much about it and am not entirely interested, but I hope it’s good! I hope you enjoy this book when you read it!
Have a fabulous week, Kate 🙂
Check out my WoW post!
The cover is gorgeous and the synopsis sounds like it’s right up my alley. Look forward to reading this!
Happy Reading,

It’s funny how everyone is thinking of Outlander when they see this. That was my first thought when I read the summary. And the cover is beautiful! I kind of miss the old font they used in the original cover but it’s a good improvement.
