Waiting on Wednesday is a fabulous meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine! It's a wonderful chance to share the books we're eagerly anticipating and to find out what our fellow bloggers are looking forward to reading!
Jen's eagerly anticipating...
First came the storms.Then came the Fever.And the Wall.
After a string of devastating hurricanes and a severe outbreak of Delta Fever, the Gulf Coast has been quarantined. Years later, residents of the Outer States are under the assumption that life in the Delta is all but extinct… but in reality, a new primitive society has been born.
Fen de la Guerre is living with the O-Positive blood tribe in the Delta when they are ambushed. Left with her tribe leader’s newborn, Fen is determined to get the baby to a better life over the wall before her blood becomes tainted. Fen meets Daniel, a scientist from the Outer States who has snuck into the Delta illegally. Brought together by chance, kept together by danger, Fen and Daniel navigate the wasteland of Orleans. In the end, they are each other’s last hope for survival.
Sherri L. Smith delivers an expertly crafted story about a fierce heroine whose powerful voice and firm determination will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
Y'all. I don't even think I can handle how awesome this one sounds. YAY FOR MORE SCI-FI/DYSTOPIANS. And that cover. Goodness I'm EXCITED. :))
Bev's eagerly anticipating...
Bonnie and Clyde meets Simone Elkeles in this addictively heart-wrenching story of two desperate teenagers on the run from their pasts. They’re young. They’re in love. They’re on the run. Zoe wants to save Will as much as Will wants to save Zoe. When Will turns eighteen, they decide to run away together. But they never expected their escape to be so fraught with danger.... When the whole world is after you, sometimes it seems like you can’t run fast enough. Nobody But Us, told in alternating perspectives from Will and Zoe, is an unflinching novel, in turns heartbreaking and hopeful, about survival, choices, and love...and how having love doesn’t always mean that you get a happy ending. Described as “beautiful, heartbreaking, and exhilarating” by Kody Keplinger, author of The DUFF, Nobody But Us will prove irresistible to fans of Nina Lacour, Jenny Han, and Sara Zarr.I'm a sucker for heartbreaking contemporaries so I'm just desperate to get my hands on this! I don't think I can wait until 2013 :'( And look at that cover, it's so sweet it makes me a little teary :')
What are you waiting on this week? Link us up!

Orleans indeed sounds like an awesome read. I haven't heard of it before so thanks for sharing it, Jen! Nobody But Us is one of the books I've been really looking forward reading this year. Although I try to avoid heartbreaking novels this one just keeps on reaching for me. Haha! I just hope it wouldn't completely wreck my heart. And yes, a happy ending please. Haha! Great pick, Bev and Jen! :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Orleans but it sounds awesome! Sci-fi dystopians is a genre I haven't read too much from but I'm excited to. Also hooray for heartbreaking contemporaries, it sounds super interesting!
