Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we showcase books that we are dying to get our hands on.

Origin by Jessica Khoury

Release Date: September 4th, 2012

GoodReads / Amazon

"An electrifying action-romance that's as thoughtful as it is tragic

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home--and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.

Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin--a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.

Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost."

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore

Release Date: August 21, 2012

GoodReads / Amazon

"Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.

Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others. . . .

I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others--including John.

But so are they.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.

Number Two in England.

And Number Three in Kenya.

They caught me in New York--but I escaped.

I am Number Six. 

They want to finish what they started.

But they'll have to fight us first."

Im super excited for The Rise of Nine! This is another one that I have already preordered! If you haven't read the first two books, I Am Number Four and The Power of Six, go read them now!

Erasing Time by C.J. Hill
Release Date: August 28th, 2012
GoodReads / Amazon

"In this high-action and romantic futuristic adventure, there is no escape from the future for two contemporary girls pulled out of their own time.


When twins Sheridan and Taylor wake up 400 years in the future, they find a changed world: domed cities, no animals, and a language that’s so different, it barely sounds like English. And the worst news: They can’t go back home.


The twenty-fifth-century government transported the girls to their city hoping to find a famous scientist to help perfect a devastating new weapon. The moblike Dakine fights against the government, and somehow Taylor and Sheridan find themselves in the middle. The only way to elude them all is to trust Echo, a guy with secrets of his own. The trio must put their faith in the unknown to make a harrowing escape into the wilds beyond the city.


Full of adrenaline-injected chases and heartbreaking confessions, Erasing Time explores the strength of the bonds between twins, the risks and rewards of trust, and the hard road to finding the courage to fight for what you believe in."

This sounds freakin awesome you guys! Its supposed to be super crazy and weird too. People who I have seen reading it are like "OMG! WHAT IS GOING ON!" whenever they check in on goodreads. I want to read it SO bad!

This week I am waiting on:

The Kill Order by James Dashner

GoodReads

"Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.
Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next.
Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.
Mark and Trina are convinced there’s a way to save those left living from descending into madness. And they’re determined to find it—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some, you’re worth more dead than alive."

I cant wait for The Kill Order to come out! The Maze Runner series weren't my favorite books ever but I always wanted to know what came before WICKED and how it got started. Here's the book trailer that was released. Just like the trailer for The Death Cure this trailer is amazing too!

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Its my very first Waiting on Wednesday! This week I'm waiting on:

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

(GoodReads)

"After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined."

Ive actually already pre-ordered Throne of Glass; I'm that excited for it! Right now I'm reading the prequel novellas and I already love Celaena. She is a total BAMF! I cant wait until I get my copy!
