Waiting on Wednesday (5)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where bloggers talk about upcoming titles that really have them well, waiting about as patiently as a bear getting its first meal after having a long hibernation.
This week I wanted to talk about a book with a release coming up in February that I know I'm pretty excited about but that I haven't heard much buzz in the blogging world; Dead To You by Lisa McMann. The Wake books are still some of my favorite books, well, EVER, so I can't wait for her newest release. :D
"Ethan was abducted from his front yard when he was just seven years old. Now, at sixteen, he has returned to his family. It's a miracle... at first. Then the tensions start to build. His reintroduction to his old life isn't going smoothly, and his family is tearing apart all over again. If only Ethan could remember something, anything, about his life before, he'd be able to put the pieces back together. But there's something that's keeping his memory blocked. Something unspeakable..."

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, where bloggers talk about highly anticipated titles.
This week I wanted to talk about a book that I want. I mean WANT. Like IF I DON'T READ THIS SOON I MIGHT DIE. Not to be overly dramatic of course.
"Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite."

I didn't want to post a full synopsis because this is a sequel. But even with that little bit, don't you want to go out and read it right now? I know I do! Delirium is one of my favorite books, well, ever.
What are you waiting for this Wednesday?

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over @ Breaking the Spine where bloggers talk about highly anticipated titles! I haven't done one in a long while but I decided I would start again. :)
"Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18B. Hadley's in 18A.
Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it."

This sounds so amazingly cute and light-hearted that I can't help but anticipate it. Plus I'm in LOVE with the cover and the title. I generally love extra-long titles though. :)
What are you looking forward to this week? Maybe an extra big meal tomorrow?

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. You talk about a book that you've really been anticipating. This week, I wanted to spotlight a book that personally, I'm really excited for: All You Desire by Kirsten Miller.
On the Cover:
All You Desire is the follow-up to one of my favorite books of 2010 (The Eternal Ones. You can find my review here) I don't want to give anything away for people who haven't read The Eternal Ones (you should if you have not) but All You Desire is all about Haven and Iain finding Beau; and there will, of course, be more Ouroboros Society drama. If you have read The Eternal Ones and want a full overview, check out this link: All You Desire by Kirsten Miller

Since reading Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, I've been sucked into the world of "The Wolves of Mercy Falls". Linger, the 2nd book in the series more than met my expectations. The books alternate between points of view; this made them amazingly fast reads. You get to see into the mind of all the main characters.
So this week's "Waiting on Wednesday" pick is Forever by Maggie Stiefvater (Book Three in "The Wolves of Mercy Falls" series.
It comes out July 12th, and I'm definitely going to pick up a copy!
PRE-ORDER: Barnes and Noble Borders Amazon
