Give Me, PLEASE!
Tänk att vi redan är inne i vecka 6. Nästa vecka är det sportlov och efter det är det är det 17 veckor kvar till sommarlov. Sjukt! Och tänk bara hur många fantastiska böcker som kommer publiceras under dessa veckor. Denna vecka är det dock två böcker som jag ser extra mycket fram emot. Kan ni gissa vilka?
Cress av Marissa Meyer, tredje delen i Lunar Chronicles-serien, samt Ignite Me av Tahereh Mafi, tredje delen i Shatter Me-serien, såklart. Som jag har längtat efter dessa två böcker och jag är så otroligt taggad över att se hur Shatter Me-serien slutar. Vem kommer hon välja?! Kommer ni införskaffa er dessa böcker när de kommer ut (imorogn samt på torsdag)? Personligen tror jag att jag ska lägga en beställning på torsdag. Jag måste bryta mitt book-buying för det här!
Waiting on Wednesday #36
Nu när Halloween närmar sig blir jag mer och mer sugen på att läsa horror/thriller böcker. En av mina favoriter när det kommer till thriller och mysterie är Mara Dyer serien av Michelle Hodkins. Tyvärr kommer inte tredje boken, The Retribution of Mara Dyer, ut fören den 3 juni 2014. Men detta betyder att jag nästa år har möjlighet att läsa om serien tills nästa Halloween.
Någon annan som längtar efter denna?!
Waiting on Wednesday #35
Då kör vi på en Waiting on Wednesday-post igen. Det var ju ett tag sedan. Idag suktar jag lite extra efter Horde av Ann Aguirre som är tredje boken i Enclave-serien. Jag gillade på Enclave samt andra boken i serien, Outpost, som är riktigt bra zombie-böcker. En ny twist på zombies samt riktigt blodig och "gorig" (här kör vi på svengelska). Den 29 oktober kommer äntligen Horde ut. Perfekt till Halloween. Och dessa omslagen är ju bara helt otroliga! Jag ska definitivt köpa denna i hardback direkt när den kommer ut så att den matchar i bokhyllan.
Horde av Ann Aguirre
"The horde is coming.
Salvation is surrounded, monsters at the gates, and this time, they're not going away. When Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan set out, the odds are against them. But the odds have been stacked against Deuce from the moment she was born. She might not be a Huntress anymore, but she doesn't run. With her knives in hand and her companions at her side, she will not falter, whether fighting for her life or Fade's love.
Ahead, the battle of a lifetime awaits. Freaks are everywhere, attacking settlements, setting up scouts, perimeters, and patrols. There hasn't been a war like this in centuries, and humans have forgotten how to stand and fight. Unless Deuce can lead them.
This time, however, more than the fate of a single enclave or outpost hangs in the balance. This time, Deuce carries the banner for the survival of all humanity."

I julas fick jag boken Mystic City av Theo Lawrence i present. Och egentligen hade det inte spelat någon roll om boken var bra eller inte för omlaget var så otroligt vackert. Men boken visade sig vara riktigt bra. En Romeo & Julia berättelse i framtiden. Och nu har även andra boken fått omslag och release-datum. Den 8 april 2014 fläpps Toxic Heart och jag ska självklart ha den i hardback så den passar till första boken i serien. Åh, vad jag längtar!
Toxic Heart av Theo Lawrence (Mystic City #2)
"A city in flames. A trust betrayed. A perfect love destroyed.
Has Aria lost Hunter, her one true love?
Ever since rebellion broke out in Mystic City, pitting the ruling elite against the magic-wielding mystics, Aria has barely seen her boyfriend. Not surprising, since Hunter is the leader of the mystic uprising, and he'll do whatever it takes to win freedom for his people—even if that means using Aria.
But Aria is no one's pawn. She believes she can bring the two warring sides together, save the city, and win back the Hunter she fell in love with.
Before she can play peacemaker, though, Aria will need to find the missing heart of a dead mystic. The heart gives untold powers to whoever possesses it, but finding it means seeking out a fierce enemy whose deepest desire is for Aria to be gone—forever."

The Chaos Walking- trilogin är en av mina favoritserier. Jag läste alla tre böcker "back to back" och älskade dem allihopa. Både själva storyn och Patrick Ness skrivsätt är så unikt och nu kommer han ut med en ny bok. More Than This heter den och den ska tydligen bli en stand-alone. Tummen upp för fristående böcker! Jag gillar serier, då får man mer av karaktärerna, men jag läser så många serier och det blir så svårt att hålla reda på allt och komma ihåg vad som händer i de tidigare böckerna. Då är det skönt med lite stand-alone böcker ibland!
Den 10 september kommer More Than This ut och precis som med The Chaos Walking-serien så verkar denna boken bli något helt unikt. Och checka omslaget. Så annorlunda, lätt och snyggt!
More Than This av Patrick Ness
"A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighborhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust, and completely abandoned. What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this. . ."

När jag såg omlaget till denna boken tänkte jag bara "Den måste jag ha!" När jag sedan läste vad den handlade om blev jag bara ännu mer övertygad om att jag måste ha denna boken. Vitro heter den och ingår egentligen i samma serie som Origin men böckerna är inte nummererade. Vilket betyder att man kan läsa dem i vilken ordning man vill. Eftersom jag inte läst, eller äger, Origin än så är detta utmärkt. För med ett sånt här omslag så SKA jag ju bara ha denna boken!
Vitro av Jessica Khoury
"On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings--the Vitros--have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.
Sophie Crue is determined to visit Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.
In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach."

Det är sommar. Solen skiner. Benen är bruna. Vad passar då bättre än en riktig road-trip bok? Jag läser inte överdrivet mycket contemporary utan lutar mer åt det mörka hållet. Men när sommaren väl kommer och solstolen väntar, då passar det perfekt med en gullig kärleksroman. Den 9 juli släpps boken Right of Way av Lauren Barnholdt. En bok som inte kunde vara mer perfket till sommaren. Kolla bara omslaget och läs beskrivningen nedan så förstår ni!
Right of Way av
"Here are Peyton and Jace, meeting on vacation. Click! It’s awesome, it’s easy, it’s romantic. This is the real deal.
Unless it isn’t. Because when you’re in love, you don’t just stop calling one day. And you don’t keep secrets. Or lie. And when your life starts falling apart, you’re supposed to have the other person to lean on.
Here are Peyton and Jace again, broken up but thrown together on a road trip. One of them is lying about the destination. One of them is pretending not to be leaving something behind. And neither of them is prepared for what’s coming on the road ahead…"

Idag tänkte jag skriva om en bok som för några dagar sedan var helt okänd för mig. Men helt plötligt så började alla på YouTube snacka om den, den dök upp som rekomenderad för mig på både Goodreads och Amazon och jag har bara inte kunnat sluta tänka på den. Boken jag pratar om är Tumble & Fall av Alexandra Coutts. Från vad jag har hört så är det en pre-apocalyptisk bok om tre tonåringar och hur de spendera sina sista dagar innan en asteroid slår ner på jorden. Den 17 september kommer boken ut och jag ska definitivt införskaffa mig den!
Tumble & Fall av alexandra Coutts
"The world is living in the shadow of oncoming disaster. An asteroid is set to strike the earth in just one week’s time; catastrophe is unavoidable. The question isn’t how to save the world—the question is, what to do with the time that's left? Against this stark backdrop, three island teens wrestle with intertwining stories of love, friendship and family—all with the ultimate stakes at hand."
Waiting on Wednesday #29
Jag var inne och kikade lite på Goodreads och ramlade över en bok som såg ganska intressant ut. Sedan läste jag beskrivningen och efter de tre första meningarna så visste jag att denna boken måste jag ha. Den låter otroligt spännande och jag kan inte vänta tills den kommer ut den 25 juni i år. Jag har inte haft den här längtan efter en bok sedan jag hörde talas om The 5th Wave (som har kommit ut nu men som jag inte kan köpa då jag är på ett bookbuying-ban). Läs bara för er själva så förstår ni vad jag känner!
In The After av Demitria Lunetta
"They hear the most silent of footsteps.
They are faster than anything you've ever seen.
And They won't stop chasing you...until you are dead.
Amy is watching TV when it happens, when the world is attacked by Them. These vile creatures are rapidly devouring mankind. Most of the population is overtaken, but Amy manages to escape—and even rescue “Baby,” a toddler left behind in the chaos. Marooned in Amy’s house, the girls do everything they can to survive—and avoid Them at all costs.
After years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound. While at first the colony seems like a dream with plenty of food, safety, and shelter, New Hope slowly reveals that it is far from ideal. And Amy soon realizes that unless things change, she’ll lose Baby—and much more."

Cover Reveal #7
För ett bra tag sedan läste jag The Farm av Emily McKay. Jag hade extremt höga förväntningar som tyvärr inte riktigt kunde nås. Men det var fortfarande en bra bok. En blandning mellan dystopi och vampyrer. Nu såg jag att även andra boken i serien, The Lair, har fått ett omslag. Jag är inte alls imonerad men jag längtar så tills november så jag får ta reda på vad som händer. The Farm slutade ju med en cliffhanger. Det verkar även som om den serie endast blir en duality vilket jag tycker är bra!

För någon dag sedan läste jag ut Pushing the Limits av Katie McGarry och den var riktigt, riktigt bra. Jag fastnade dock inte riktigt för den ena huvudkaraktären men den bästa karaktären i hela boken var ju Beth. Hon har en biroll i Pushing the Limits men i andra boken, Dare You To, är det hon som är huvudkaraktären och den låter så otroligt bra. Som tur kommer boken ut den 28 maj så jag behöver inte vänta så länge!
Dare You To av Katie McGarry
"If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....
Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.
But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all..."

Hallå, onsdag igen, och ni vet vad det betyder! Dags att sukta efter ännu en bok att addera till min milslånga TBR. Denna veckan handlar det dock om en bok som redan har kommit ut men eftersom den kom ut förra veckan så känns den ändå ganska så relevant.
Lili St. Crow är en författare som jag har varit sugen på att läsa länge nu. Hon har skrivit Stange Angels serien som verkar riktigt intressant. Nu kommer hon dock ut med en ny bok (som verkar vara första i en serie) med namnet Nameless. Som jag har fattat det så verkar det vara en retelling av Snövit med en parannoraml twist. Jag älskar ju retellings så detta ska nog falla mig i smaken!
Nameless av Lili st. Crow
"When Camille was six years old, she was discovered alone in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, godfather of the Seven—the powerful Families that rule magic-ridden New Haven. Papa Vultusino adopted the mute, scarred child, naming her after his dead wife and raising her in luxury on Haven Hill alongside his own son, Nico.
Now Cami is turning sixteen. She’s no longer mute, though she keeps her faded scars hidden under her school uniform, and though she opens up only to her two best friends, Ruby and Ellie, and to Nico, who has become more than a brother to her. But even though Cami is a pampered Vultusino heiress, she knows that she is not really Family. Unlike them, she is a mortal with a past that lies buried in trauma. And it’s not until she meets the mysterious Tor, who reveals scars of his own, that Cami begins to uncover the secrets of her birth…to find out where she comes from and why her past is threatening her now.
New York Times bestselling author Lili St. Crow thrilled legions of fans with her dark paranormal series Strange Angels. Now she has crafted an evocative update of Snow White, set in a vividly imagined world and populated by unforgettable new characters."

Då är vi tillbaka till riktigt uppdatering igen coh det betyder att Waiting on Wednesday är tillbaka. Och denna veckan är det en bok som jag bara MÅSTE ha! Den verkar så otroligt grym. The 5th Wave heter den och den verkar handla om ailens som kommer till jorden i "waves" och dödar alla människor. Rick Yancey är även författaren till The Monstrumologist som är en bok som jag ahr velat läsa sjukt länge! Och kolla in omslaget, awsome! The 5th Wave kommer ut den 7 maj så den kommer definitivt följa med hem i nästa bokbeställning.
The 5th Wave av Rick Yancey
"After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up."

Som ni vet så läser jag inte speciellt mycket svenska böcker, i alla fall inte från svenska författare. De enda två svenska serierna jag läser just nu är Mats Strandberg och Sara Bergmark Elfgrens Cirkeln (Engelsfors) samt Simona Ahrnstedts böcker som egenltigen inte ingår i en serie. Än så länga har två av henns böcker publicerats, Överenskommelser och Betvingade. De är historiska ramance böcker och jag absolut älskar dem! Simona är en otrolig författare och om fler hade skrivit som henne tror jag att fler människor hade förstått glädjen i att läsa böcker.
Har länge väntat på nyheter om när den tredje boken ska komma ut och nu har vi äntlgien fått ett datum. Eller ja, ungefär. I juni verkar det som om den ska komma ut, perfekt till min födelsedag, och jag hoppas på att omslaget blir lika vackert som de tidigare.
Waiting on Wednesday #25
Hallå, hallå! Onsdag igen och dags för att spana in lite böcker som kommer att publiceras inom den närmaste framtiden. Idag suktar jag efter The Program av Suzanne Young. Hon är förafattren till A Need so Beautiful-triologin som jag faktiskt äger första boken i men inte hunnit läsa än.
Ska jag vara ärlig så var jag inte så intresserad av denna boken först. Det verkar handla om en framtid där alla ungdomar vill ta livet av sig och det enda botemedlet är The Program där de tar bort alla ens minnen. Men jag har nu sett att den har fått extremt bra betyg på Goodreads, så varför inte? Boken kommer ut 30 April.
The Program av Suzanne Young
"In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.
Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.
Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them."

En av de bästa böckerna jag läste förra året var The Immortal Rules av Julie Kagawa. I maj kommer andra boken ut och jag har varit så arg och ledsen för att de har ändrat omslagen. Men när jag var inne och kikade på amazon.co.uk idag såg jag att The Eternity Cure där har ett annat omslag. Ett omslag som passar med första boken! Jag är så glad!
Dock är inte detta omslag lika snyggt som det för den första boken men nu kommer ialla fall böckerna passa ihop på hyllan!
Waiting on Wednesday #24
Då var det onsdag igen och dags att drömma sig bort till alla de böcker jag vill ha men som jag troligen aldrig kommer ha tid att läsa. Denna veckan är det en bok som jag har varit sugen på väldigt länge och som dessutom har ett extremt snyggt omslag. When We Wake av Karen Healey verkar handla om en tjej som lever i år 2027. En dag dör hon dock och vaknar upp 100 år senare på ett forskningscentrum. Hon är det första människan som blivit nerfryst och sedan återuppväckt. Hur coolt låter inte det?! Boken kom i för sig ut redan igår men den fick vara med här ändå.
When We Wake av Karen Healey
"Sixteen-year-old Tegan is just like every other girl living in 2027--she's happiest when playing the guitar, she's falling in love for the first time, and she's joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world: environmental collapse, social discrimination, and political injustice.
But on what should have been the best day of Tegan's life, she dies--and wakes up a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened.
Tegan is the first government guinea pig to be cryonically frozen and successfully revived, which makes her an instant celebrity--even though all she wants to do is try to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. But the future isn't all she hoped it would be, and when appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: Does she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future?
Award-winning author Karen Healey has created a haunting, cautionary tale of an inspiring protagonist living in a not-so-distant future that could easily be our own"

Då var det dags igen, att göra min önskelista ännu längre. Denna veckan är det en bok av Robison Wells som jag är väldigt sugen på. Han är författaren till Variant som är en annan bok jag måste köpa hem och läsa men nu kommer han ut med en ny, Black Out. Vad jag har fattat det som så handlar den om terrorister och ett virus som ger ungdomar speciella krafter. Låter intressant och kolla omslaget!!
Black Out av Robison Wells
"Laura and Alec are trained terrorists.
Jack and Aubrey are high school students.
There was no reason for them to ever meet.
But now, a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible powers. And these four are about to find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger—where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all."

Onsdag igen och dags för Waiting on Wednesday. Denna post är inte bra för min önskelista kan jag ju säga. Den är milslång! Unremembered är en bok som jag har sett omkring men inte riktigt förstått vad den handlar om. Trodde att det var en contemporary men den verkar snarare vara en mystisk bok. En tjej som hittas flytande i vattnet vid ett crashat plan men som inte var ombord på det eller som verkar existera i någon databas överhuvudtaget. Spännande!
Unremembered av Jessica Brody
"When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe.
Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.
Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them.
Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?
From popular young adult author, Jessica Brody comes a mesmerizing and suspenseful new series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten."

Då var det onsdag och dags för Waiting on Wednesday. Som ni säkert vet så har en ny genre dykt upp i bokvärlden på sensate tiden. NA (New Adult) är lite mer "mogen" än YA (Young Adult) och faktiskt så har jag inte läst en bok som kvalificerats inom denna genren än. Jag har dock Easy av Tammara Webber hemma och ska ta och läsa den snarast.
Nu har jag dock upptäckt en NA bok som verkar ritktigt intressant. Jag gillar ju inte conteporary så mycket, och nästan alla NA böcker verkar vara contemporary, men denna handlar om parallella världar. Hur coolt låter inte det.?! Boken jag pratar om är Parallel av Lauren Miller och den kommer ut i Maj 2013. Dessutom verkar den vara en stand-alone (vilket alltid är ett plus!)
Parallel av Lauren Miller
"Abby Barnes had a plan. Get into a great college, major in journalism, and land her dream job at a major newspaper. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, she's stuck on a Hollywood movie set instead, wishing she could rewind her life. But the next morning, she’s in a dorm room at Yale, with no memory of how she got there. A collision of parallel worlds has left Abby living a new reality every time her younger parallel self makes a new decision. Forced to live out the consequences of a path she didn't choose, Abby must let go on her plans for the future and learn to focus on the present, without losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and the destiny that’s finally in reach."
