Waiting on Wednesday (48)

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where book bloggers discuss the books that they are most anxiously waiting for! (And this fabulous button was designed by my dear blogger friend Lindsay at The Violet Hour)

This week I'm waiting on...

Partials by Dan Wells
© 28 February 2012 by HarperTeen
The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials--engineered organic beings identical to humans--has decimated the population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.

Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them--connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.



Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley
© 14 February 2012 by Knopf BFYR
Senior year is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight, she's going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over the city. He's out there somewhere—spraying color, spraying birds and blue sky on the night—and Lucy knows a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for. Really fall for. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells her he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around the city. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes.


Partials sounds awesome, right? I'm so excited to read it (very soon!).  I've already read Graffiti Moon (and you can read my review, posted today!).  I simply can't wait for (a) my pre-order to come in and (b) EVERYONE to be able to read it.  It's absolutely fabulous.


Also, I figured I would combine this post with W.W.W. Wednesdays...so here is some more info about my reading for this week! To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…Grab the logo...and post your link at Should Be Reading!

What are you currently reading?

 
(Currently listening to...)


What did you recently finish reading?




  • Graffiti Moon was FABULOUS and you should all read it.
  • The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight was adorable and a marvelous quick read.
  • Case Histories and And Then There Were None are both books that I read for my Reader's Advisory class (mystery assignment) and honestly, I enjoyed them both but I like YA better, lol. 

What do you think you’ll read next? 
Actually, I can't choose what to read next!! Here are some of the options in my upcoming review queue.  What do you think? Help?

 
 

What are YOU waiting on this week?

Hope you're enjoying Monsters of Men. I absolutely adored the Chaos Walking Trilogy.

I'd suggest picking up Freshman Year next. It was REALLY funny. I enjoyed it.
