It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here!
If you wanted to know what my most anticipated read of the year is, it’s this beautiful book I’m holding up right here: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I couldn’t be happier to finally hold this incredibly beautiful book in my hands!
To provide a little bit of history, I am a huge fan of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and ever since I finished reading the last page of Mexican Gothic with our book club, The Top Shelf Society, I have wanted to read another gorgeous, historical fiction SMG gothic horror. Mexican Gothic is beautiful, tragic, strange, and has very important themes discussed within. SMG’s writing is enchanting and we feel this book has the potential to sweep us off of our feet yet again.
And finally … it’s here! Gah!
Yes, my expectations are very high. It’s SMG, after-all! Regardless, I’m just so excited to enter another one of SMG’s worlds and spend a little bit of time with with our heroine, Carlota, as I turn the pages of this gorgeous read. We will likely be doing a buddy read, details to come.
QOTD: What is/has been your most
anticipated read of the year?

I have this on my TBR list and also own her second book which I need to read – I’ve been reading good things about this one so I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you! Yes it’s definitely a great book for the TBR!
I’m glad you’ve been able to get your hands on your most anticipated book of the year! I don’t particularly have one, but always anticipate new releases from my favourite authors! Enjoy!
Thank you so much, Jodie!

Thank you, Wendy! Definitely agree!
Darn – I was hoping this was a review link! I’m thrilled you received a copy and hope you post a review soon. I’ve seen it on several TTT lists and it made my TBR, but I have yet to read a review.
Have a great week!

Hi Sara and Olivia! 😀 I hope you’ve enjoyed reading The Daughter of Doctor Moreau. I haven’t read any of SMG’s books yet. I want to … someday, lol. Maybe, I’ll put her higher up on my TBR.
