Waiting on Wednesday (10)

Invisible

Author: Dawn Metcalf
The Twixt #2
Expected: September 30th, 2014
Harlequin Teen


Description from GoodReads:


   Some things lie beneath the surface. 

  Invisible. 

   With the power to change everything. 

   Joy Malone wants it all—power, freedom and the boyfriend who loves her. Yet when an unstoppable assassin is hired to kill her, Joy learns that being the girl with the Sight comes with a price that might be too high to pay. Love will be tested, lives will be threatened, and everyone Joy knows and cares about will be affected by her decision to stand by Ink or to leave the Twixt forever. 

  Her choice is balanced on a scalpel's edge and the consequences will be more life-altering than anyone can guess.


Why I Want It:


   I had won a copy of Indelible on GoodReads and had instantly fallen in love. This book was a unique twist on Fairies or the fae. To be honest it creeped me the heck out, books don't creep me out often so Indelible was instantly a favourite. So now I need Invisible to get my next kick of creepy!


Why You Should Want it:


   Dude it's going to be creepy! Do you like to get a spidery feeling when you read? Of course you do,  this book is definitely for you!


   That's my Waiting on Wednesday for this week! Will you be picking up your copy at the end of October? What are you waiting on this week? Let me know in the comments!(:

Waiting on Wednesday (9)

The Queen of Zombie Hearts

Author: Gena Showalter
The White Rabbit Chronicles
Expected: September 30th, 2014
Harlequin Teen 


Description on GoodReads:


   I have a plan.

   We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us.

   Either way, only one of us is walking away.

   Alice 'Ali' Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers; until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters; and the worst has only begun.

   As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing and turning Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.


Why I Want It:


   I've always loved the Disney version of Alice in Wonerland, it's creepy and mysterious all at once. With the White Rabbit Chronicles you have both of those as well as ZOMBIES! I'm curious to see where Gena takes us with Queen of Zombie Hearts, and I hope our beloved characters get a somewhat good happy ending with this last book in the trilogy.

Why You Should Want It:


   LOVE. WAR. ZOMBIES.It's my favourite out of all the trios! It should be one of yours too, so in order for that to happen I think a read of Alice in Zombieland is in order yes?


   That's my Waiting on Wednesday for this week, what are you waiting on this week? Will you be picking up The Queen of Zombie Hearts in September? Let me know in the comments!

The TBR Tag!

The To Be Read Tag was created by Dana @ Danasquare and her co-blogger Rachel @ A Perfect Called Books because they are curious of our TBR lists. As book bloggers, our TBR lists sometimes reach crazy heights. So they want to know how we keep up!


Questions:


How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

   I keep track of my TBR pile by using GoodReads! It's honestly the simplest and easiest way.




Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?


   Print books! I can't stand using an e-reader or e-book app. To me books will always have to be printed, e-books are unnatural. 



How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?

   It depends on if I have a copy in my possession and if something in particular happens so that the book is automatically sent to the top of my list. Say for example maybe I haven't read The Maze Runner, with the movie coming closer that book would get up higher on my TBR pile. I have to read books before I see the movies.
  



A Book That's Been On Your TBR List The Longest 



   The Siren by Kiera Cass! It's been on my TBR since July 13th, 2012. Self published books tend to be harder to find.


A Book You Recently Added To Your TBR


   The Heir by Kiera Cass! Ahaha another Cass novel! 




A Book In Your TBR Strictly Because Of Its Beautiful Cover


   I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson, guys you have to admit it's a gorgeous cover.




A Book On Your TBR That You Never Plan on Reading


   Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia by Kendall Jenner & Kylie Jenner *Cough & Maya Sloan. I have no respect for the Jenner's. They payed an author to write a book for them and don't even give her credit on the cover of the book. They thought the best way to get money was to hit a young adult audience, the only problem is book bloggers want nothing to do with them.



An Unpublished Book On Your TBR That You’re Excited For


   Night World: Strange Fate by L. J. Smith. This book was supposed to be out 16 years ago. 16 YEARS AGO. I'm waaay past excited for this book.




A Book On Your TBR That Basically Everyone’s Read But You 


   Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. HONESTLY EVERYONE HAS READ THIS BOOK ALREADY.




A Book On Your TBR That Everyone Recommends To You


   The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson. All I've heard is good things. I've almost picked it up a few times because so many people have said good things to me!




A Book On Your TBR That You’re Dying To Read


   Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead. I need to find money so I can buy it!




How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?

596 books are on my TBR list, besides ones I've forgotten to add to my GoodReads shelf.
