Hey, fellow word nerds! This looks like something for us. Summary from amazon:
The dusty files of a venerable dictionary publisher . . . a hidden cache of coded clues . . . a story written by a phantom author . . . an unsolved murder in a gritty urban park–all collide memorably in Emily Arsenault’s magnificent debut, at once a teasing literary puzzle, an ingenious suspense novel, and an exploration of definitions: of words, of who we are, and of the stories we choose to define us.
Charged with wit and intelligence, set against a sweetly cautious love story, The Broken Teaglass is a tale that will delight lovers of words, lovers of mysteries, and fans of smart, funny, brilliantly inventive fiction.
It's coming out on September 29th and will definitely be on my Christmas wishlist. I first saw this over at Bibliophile by the Sea, so thanks for the great tip Diane!
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This sounds so good! I am picky about which words to use to express myself since words considered synonymous can actually have very different connotations. Can't wait! And it comes out the day after my birthday. :D
Sounds really good!

Ok the synopsis sounds great...blah blah blah... but oh my goodness, look at the cover! I usually don't judge by the front of a book but that's totally to die for. :)

Totally OT: Whoah, suddenly Bloglines likes you again! 37 unread messages in my reader (luckily I've already read most of them). Glad to see the problem is fixed.
Leonre...I just got so excited again about this book, when I saw you profiled it too. It looks so good. (We'll have to compare notes)..LOL
This book sounds excellent. Thanks to your blog, I have learned about all sorts of great books I otherwise would not have heard of. Keep up the great work and wonderful reviews and author interviews!

This sounds so interesting! I'll definitely have to keep my eye out for it next month. Coded clues, phantom authors, unsolved murders ... enticing!
