Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking The Spine to showcase what upcoming books we are anxiously waiting for.

The Rising (Darkness Rising, #3) by Kelley Armstrong

is set it be released April 9th, 2013 by HarperCollins

Things are getting desperate for Maya and her friends. Hunted by the powerful St. Clouds and now a rival Cabal as well, they're quickly running out of places to hide. And with the whole world thinking they died in a helicopter crash, it's not like they can just go to the authorities for help

All they have is the name and number of someone who might be able to give them a few answers. Answers to why they're so valuable, and why their supernatural powers are getting more and more out of control.

But Maya is unprepared for the truths that await her. And now, like it or not, she'll have to face down some demons from her past if she ever hopes to move on with her life. Because Maya can't keep running forever.

Old secrets are revealed and unexpected characters make a surprising return in this stunning conclusion to Kelley Armstrong's New York Timesbestselling Darkness Rising trilogy.

Again, another conclusion that I can't wait to read!

Mind Games by Kiersten White

Expected publish date is February 19th, 2013 by HarperTeen

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future. 

Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways… or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.

In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

I've never read any of Kiersten White's book, though I hear great things about them. There's just something about Mind Games that I think sounds exciting! I can't wait!

Book Review: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

Publisher: HarperCollins
Publish Date: October 25, 2011 (first published March 2nd, 2010)
Pages: Paperback, 470
ISBN: 9780061726811
Series: None
Source: Bought

Goodreads Synopsis:
What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?
Samantha Kingston has it all: looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last.
The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. Living the last day of her life seven times during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.

My Review:
Before I Fall was an interesting book. It was the same story basically, just told about 7 times. Each time Samantha realizes something about herself and her friends and the way she lived her life. You can't help but feel a bit sorry for Samantha. I'm sure it would be hard enough to relive her death once, but to have to do it over and over? That would be awful and at certain points of the book I could really see the effect it had on Samantha. But once she understood what was happening, it was a bit easier for her and she was expecting it.
I couldn't relate to this book at all. Through high-school I wasn't popular, I didn't drink, go to parties etc so I didn't relate to Samantha or the story and I think that made it a little harder for me to enjoy the story. When I finished Before I Fall, I realized that I didn't mind the book. The end of the book was so much better than the first 3/4 of the book. None of the characters spoke to me, though Kent was a character that I liked. Honestly, Before I Fall isn't a book that I would remember for years to come. There wasn't that one special thing that stood out to me, but I did enjoy Oliver's writing and because of that I added Delirium to my shelf.
I've heard some mixed reviews of Before I Fall, but I know that there are a lot of Lauren Oliver fans out there so sure, read this book, you may enjoy it more than I did!

The Calling (Darkness Rising #2) by Kelley Armstrong

Expecting to be released on April 10th 2012 by HarperCollins

Maya and her friends--all of whom have supernatural powers--have been kidnapped after fleeing from a forest fire they suspect was deliberately set, and after a terrifying helicopter crash they find themselves pursued by evildoers in the Vancouver Island wilderness.

I cannot wait for this one! It's been ages it seems since I first read The Gathering.

Spotted: Cover of Endlessly by Kiersten White

Wait for it.....

Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3)  by Kiersten White

I have not yet read Paranormalcy or Supernaturally, but have always thought the covers were super cute! And they did it again, Endlessly is awesome and it ties in with the other covers so nicely!

It's expected to be released July 24th, 2012 by HarperTeen, so I have plenty of time to read the first two in the series!

What do you think of this cover?
