Waiting on Wednesday(6)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by The awesome Jill at Breaking The Spine, where we share books we are most anxious to be be released.
This week is PANDEMONIUM by Lauren Oliver. I am so excited and impatient for this one! After the cliffhanger she left us on I have been raking my brain non-stop trying to figure out what would happen to Lena and Alex.
I might have to pre-order this one!

I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,

pushing aside thoughts of Alex,

pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,

push,

push,

push,

like Raven taught me to do.

The old life is dead.

But the old Lena is dead too.

I buried her.

I left her beyond a fence,

behind a wall of smoke and flame.

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.

On a side note about that cover: It is PURDY! But I am disappointed that they didn't go on with the original blue theme, because that is the one I have and my Pandemonium wont match my Delirium.

What are YOU waiting for?

Waiting on Wednesday(5)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by The awesome Jill at Breaking The Spine, where we share books we are most anxious to be be released.

Why I want it?

Well it seems pretty obvious to me. I'd buy it for the cover alone but the story is just dreamy! A love story set in a dystopian/steampunk (?) world is always a must have/read for me.

Exiled (Connected #1)

Why I want it?

GAH! This cover is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. ! And I love some good romantic sci-fi!I am so excited for this one! Although I have no idea on how to get my hands on a copy of it.

Waiting on Wednesday: Everneath

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by

Breaking The Spine

Waiting on Wednesday is a Meme hosted by Breaking The Spine, where they share a book they're impatiently waiting for! So here is my "Waiting on Wednesday"!

Everneath by Brodi Ashton

This cover is ART! So dreamy! I look at it and I am feeling so many different things! And the story!? An underworld love story and a love triangle? What's not to love? I am excited!

About the book:

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever.

She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.

Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen.

As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's..

So what are YOU waiting for this Wedesday?
