Waiting on Wednesday #9

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...


16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.
Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.
And then it comes true.
Now the Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.

GUYS THIS SOUNDS FANTABULOUS. I love boarding school-type reads, and the paranormal aspect just reminds me of Hex Hall! AND AND, there's that murder mystery feel.. doesn't sound so freaking good! Let's not forget about that cover, too.. so gorgeous. I actually first heard about this one when I was checking out Shane's upcoming blog tours at Itching For Books! Grrr, I have to wait until March 2013..

Bev's eagerly anticipating...


Lucid

What if you could dream your way into a different life? What if you could choose to live that life forever?
Sloane and Maggie have never met. Sloane is a straight-A student with a big and loving family. Maggie lives a glamorously independent life as an up-and-coming actress in New York. The two girls couldn't be more different--except for one thing. They share a secret that they can't tell a soul. At night, they dream that they're each other.
The deeper they're pulled into the promise of their own lives, the more their worlds begin to blur dangerously together. Before long, Sloane and Maggie can no longer tell which life is real and which is just a dream. They realize that eventually they will have to choose one life to wake up to, or risk spiraling into insanity. But that means giving up one world, one love, and one self, forever.
This book sounds super-duperly thrilling, I love anything that deals with dreams!  And just look at that cover - it's so beautiful and I love how half of the word is blurry which represents the dream world Sloane and Maggie live in when they sleep! So eager to get my hands on this one.  It's out this month so I don't have to wait too long.  Hopefully it will release in the UK so I can get a copy then!

What are you waiting on today?

Happy reading,
Bev and Jen x

  2. Both of these books sound FANTABULOUS!! The Nightmare Affair does sound like Hex Hall, I love the whole boarding school feel that it has going for it. And the mystery does sound totally amazing. And this dream thing going on? It sounds so awesome. I seriously can't wait to read this one!!

    Lucid sounds totally awesome as well. Super-duperly thrilling is the best way to describe it I think! ;) It sounds pretty mind-blowing, and I really do enjoy getting my mind blown. And I didn't even realize the whole blurry thing on the cover! *facepalm* But your totally right, I love the symbolism there. And YAY for not having to wait forever! =)

    Fabulous picks you two! <3
