Welcome to my WOW, or HOW as I like to call it where I feature an upcoming release that I'm hyperventilating for! It's totally fun to geek out about upcoming releases! This event is hosted by the lovely Jill @ Breaking The Spine. Today's awesome-sauce pick is....

Tarnish 
Releasing: June18,  2013 by Viking Juvenlie

Anne Boleyn is the odd girl out. Newly arrived to the court of King Henry VIII, everything about her seems wrong, from her clothes to her manners to her witty but sharp tongue. So when the dashing poet Thomas Wyatt offers to coach her on how to shine at court--and to convince the whole court they're lovers--she accepts. Before long, Anne's popularity has soared, and even the charismatic and irresistible king takes notice. More than popularity, Anne wants a voice--but she also wants love. What began as a game becomes high stakes as Anne finds herself forced to make an impossible choice between her heart's desire and the chance to make history.

Why I'm Hyperventilating:
Um. I LOVED Gilt, which is the first book in the Royal Circle series by Katherine Longshore. I LOVE a gritty historical novel about REAL people and that's what GILT gave me! WHEE! So I'm very excited to get another novel about a famous historical character and see what delicious grit we can have this time. I don't know a whole lot about Anne either so I'm really intrigued to learn more about her. And look at that cover. Oooh. It for sure exudes mystery!
