Waiting on Wednesday (34)


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine 
that highlights eagerly anticipated books.


Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Release Date: January 22, 2013
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Pre-order: Amazon / IndieBound / Barnes & Noble

There are people in this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away. 

That’s why they make the perfect assassins.

The Institute finds these people when they’re young and takes them away for training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization. And threats must be eliminated.

Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute’s monitoring. But now they’ve ID’ed her and send seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her. Yet the moment he lays eyes on her, he can’t make the hit. It’s as if Claire and Nix are the only people in the world for each other. And they are—because no one else ever notices them.

Why can't I wait?
Is it just me or do Jennifer Lynn Barnes' concepts always make you go, "I need to read that!"Nobodysounds like it has incredible potential for action and romance. Consider it pre-ordered. 



Boundless by Cynthia Hand
Release Date: January 22, 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Pre-order: Amazon / IndieBound / Barnes & Noble

The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.

Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.

As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfil her destiny. But it won’t come without sacrifices and betrayal.

In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.


Why can't I wait?
Tucker Avery.  I mean, I'm sure other things will probably happen, and angelic shenanigans will occur, and that's fine and I'm excited about it but... Tucker Avery.
