Article 5 by Kristen Simmons 
Release Date: January 31st 2012
Publisher: Tor Teen
Find it on Goodreads


From Goodreads: "New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.

The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.

There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.

Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard for her to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It’s hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.

Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow. 

That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved"

This week I haven't picked a book that is yet to be released. I picked one that I am literally waiting to arrive. Drum roll please!

Fury by Shirley Marr
Release Date: May 1st 2011
Publisher: Black Dog Books
Goodreads | Fishpond


From Goodreads:
"Let me tell you my story. 
Not just the facts I know you want to hear. 
If I’m going to tell you my story, 
I’m telling it my way. 

Strap yourself in... 

Eliza Boans has everything. 
A big house. 
A great education. 
A bright future. 

So why is she sitting in a police station confessing to murder?"

So that pretty much tells you nothing about the story right? Except that she confesses to murder. But I have heard amazing amazing things about this one from fellow blogger's and twitter friends. Shirley Marr is an Aussie author, not only that she is from Perth, my home city!

Hi everyone!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine! This is a chance for book lovers to discuss the books that they can't wait for and to also discover new books that others are waiting on!

 This week my waiting on Wednesday pick is...

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: March 6th 2012
Series: Delirium #2
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

"I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare, 

pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.

I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame."

The way Delirium ended, OH MY WORD! I seriously cannot wait to read this one!! I tried to do a review of Delirium a while back but I just couldn't find the right words to describe it, so I didn't. But I will let you guys know that I really enjoyed it!!

Waiting on Wednesday #7

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. For more information please visit her blog. 


In the past two weeks I have read all 4 of the Gallagher Girl books by Ally Carter. The last one, Only the Good Spy Young, left the story line way open and I need to know what happens next!! 


So this WoW pick is:

Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
Release Date: March 20th 2012
Publisher: Hyperion Books
Goodreads  | Book Depository


From Goodreads: "The last thing Cammie Morgan remembers is leaving the Gallagher Academy to protect her friends and family from the Circle of Cavan--an ancient terrorist organization that has been hunting her for over a year. But when Cammie wakes up in an alpine convent and discovers months have passed, she must face the fact that her memory is now a black hole. The only traces left of Cammie’s summer vacation are the bruises on her body and the dirt under her nails, and all she wants is to go home. 

Once she returns to school, however, Cammie realizes that even the Gallagher Academy now holds more questions than answers. Cammie, her friends, and mysterious spy-guy Zach must face their most difficult challenge yet as they travel to the other side of the world, hoping to piece together the clues that Cammie left behind. It’s a race against time. The Circle is hot on their trail and willing stop at nothing to prevent Cammie from remembering what she did last summer."

This week my choice was easy!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Release Date: January 10th 2012
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile


From Goodreads: "Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now. 

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault. 

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind."

I have read An Abundance of Katherines, Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns all by John Green and I loved and enjoyed all of them! I am yet to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson but I can't wait!

What are you waiting for on this Wednesday? (Though if we are getting technical about it... It's Thursday)

Happy reading!

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. To allow our readers to see what books we are waiting to be released so we can read them!

This week I chose: 

The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting  
Release Date: March 29th 2012
Goodreads | Book Depository

From Goodreads: "Violet kept her morbid ability to sense dead bodies a secret from everyone except her family and her childhood-best-friend-turned-boyfriend, Jay Heaton. That is until forensic psychologist Sara Priest discovered Violet’s talent and invited her to use her gift to track down murderers. Now, as she works with an eclectic group of individuals—including mysterious and dangerously attractive Rafe—it’s Violet’s job to help those who have been murdered by bringing their killers to justice. 

When Violet discovers the body of a college girl killed by “the girlfriend collector” she is determined to solve the case. But now the serial killer is on the lookout for a new “relationship” and Violet may have caught his eye...."

I have read and LOVED the other two books in this series, and I just can't wait till march next year!!

Waiting on Wednesday #4

Hi everyone! 

Waiting on Wednesday is a book meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. This meme features books that we are anxiously waiting for the release date of or waiting to get our hands on. So my pick this week is... *Drum roll please!!*

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Release date: November 15th 2011 
BUT  I've been told that this is already out in Australia! (However the bookstore I went to earlier hadn't received their stock yet)

Goodreads | Book Depository | Amazon

From Goodreads: "Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. 

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. 

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war-- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now. 

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior."

Sounds so good that I can barely contain myself!! Lucky for my local bookstore they had this one on order, otherwise I would have been having words with them! 

What are you waiting on this Wednesday? I would love to hear from you in the comments or link me to your WoW posts :)

Happy reading!
