The Archived by Victoria Schwab

Expected release date is January 22nd 2013 by Hyperion

 

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.

I'll be honest with you here, today is the first day I've read the actual synopsis of The Archived but it's been on my list of must reads since it was first announced. What caught my eye about the book? The fact that Victoria Schwab wrote it! The Near Witch was so expertly written that I just want to read more of Schwabs writing. But I have to wait until 2013!!!

From Ash to Nash

I've recently had the chance to read The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab, and let me tell you that I loved it! (You can check out my review here) As soon as I read it and posted my review, I wanted to find out more about Victoria - not in the stalker kind of way - just some friendly knowledge is what I wanted. And I came across this Ash to Nash Tour that she's participating in.

Now I live in Canada, and unfortunately will not be able to attend to any spots on this tour, but I wanted to do my part and get the word out! Not only is Victoria Schwab on this tour, but Beth Revis, author of Across The Universe and Myra McEntire, author of Hourglass will be part, too!
Wow! I've read Beth's AtU (review here), and I absolutely loved this book too. Though I haven't had to chance to read Hourglass, it's on my list to read soon! Such a great team of authors.
