"Waiting" on Wednesday - The Murder Complex

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings 

Expected Publication:  June 10^th 2014

Publisher: Greenwillow – Harper Collins

Format: Hardcover (400 pages)

Series: The Murder Complex #1

Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia, Thriller, Mystery, Romance

ISBN13: 9780062220004

Synopsis

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

This book sounds really interesting and different. I also haven’t read much Thriller or anything like that, but this book really pulls me.  I also haven’t read anything about assassins and all that kind of stuff. So I think this will be a very new read for me as well.  

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?

Top Ten YA Books I'd Recommend To Adults

Before I start I want to say how sorry I am for not posting in the last week and half as I did have my Year 11 Exams and was very busy studying for them. And then over the weekend it was my birthday and I was doing birthday things. If you follow me on twitter I am sorry for many apologies  that I sent out. So back to what you came here for.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I'd Recommend To X Person

I am aiming my list as, Young Adult books that I recommend adults to read, as sometimes I get the feeling that even though some adults want to try and read some YA they don’t know where to start, and if they start on a book that isn’t quite what they are looking for that might never read YA again. I am a firm believer that anyone over the age of 12 maybe a little older can read YA and love it so here is my list of what I think adults could read and love.  Again like I say every week, these are in no particular order.

1. The Fault in out Stars by John Green - I adore this book, I think it’s an amazing read and a real eye opener; it knocks you on your feet and makes you think what is real. I think this will be an amazing book for adults to read to help them bring themselves back to reality and to also show then that Teens do feel emotional as well. You can read my full review here

2. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – I know that my mum is very hesitate on reading these, as it’s children killing children and I just think, would it make a difference if it was adults killing adults, no they are still human, I think this is what most adults don’t like about the books.  She loves the movies so I  keep on trying to convince her to read them as they are so much better. But I think if you are an adult you should defiantly read The Hunger Games Trilogy it is so much more than Killing people 

3. The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare – For an Adult that likes demons, Angel and all types of supernatural creatures, I think that they should totally read this series. They are really good reads and I think everyone should read them. They can show the adults what life is like growing up, coming into adulthood for a Teen, through the metaphor that Cassandra uses. My mum watched the movie and feel in love, so she decided to read the books, she read the whole series in a month; it normally takes her 1 month to read one book.  So as you can see Adults can read and love these books as well. Here is my review on City of Bones. 

4. Pawn by Aimee Carter – I just read this recently and I think it’s an amazing read and as dystopian is quite ‘in’ at the moment I think this is a perfect read to pick it up and understand it. I think adults will enjoy this even though the main protagonist is in her teens; she and others are relatable in certain ways. My Review for Pawn will be up in a few days

5. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen – Is a beautiful romance that everyone should read, and I think that they will enjoy. I think it attracted females more, but not saying males won’t like. I think that sometimes everyone needs that romantic read.  You can read my review of Just Listen Here

6.The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling – although it’s not YA, I think everyone should read Harry Potter no matter how old you are, everyone can learn something from it.

7. Divergent by Veronica Roth – Again with the Dystopian so ‘in’ right now, I think this is a perfect read, especially with the movie coming out soon.  I think this is a great coming of age story, finding out whom you are. I think both teens and adults can benefit from Divergent and both can love it. You can take a look at my review on Divergent.

8. Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan – Yes again I know this isn’t

‘YA’  but I think these are great read for adults, also great for parents to read to their children, they can both enjoy it and love it. I don’t know many people that have read Percy Jackson and disliked it. You can read my review on the first book here and the rest of the reviews are up on my blog.

9. Daughter of Smoke and Bone  by Lani Taylor – If your an adult or you  know one that likes, Angels, Mystery and loves to not know what is happening. This is a good read for you. I think both teens and adults can enjoy these books. 

10. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon – I just started reading this but I really think adults will enjoy this books as well as teens, especially those whom like science fiction and fantasy. 

 So there you go, there is my list, there is probably lost more to add to this list, but from what I have read these are what I think adults would like if they read YA. Do you agree with any of these? What would you put on the list? 

Top Ten Sequels I Can't Wait To Get My Hands On!

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Sequels I can't wait to get my hands on. 

This week was sort of hard as I haven’t really started many new series this year. I have read alot of stand alone, finished off series or read the whole series at once. But I did give it my best try. These are in no particular order.

1.City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare – This is the 6^th and last book in to The Mortal Instruments Series, just need to know what  will happen, and with Cassandra’s snippets and telling a fair few people will die, I just oh my. Need it. City of Heavenly Fire expected to be published May 2014 

 2.The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead - This is the 4^th book in the Bloodlines series and if you haven’t realised already, I adore Richelle Mead and her Vampire Academy world books. I cannot wait to get back in and see what happens to Adrian and Sydney. This Comes out the 19^th of November.

3. The Blackcoat Rebellion #2  by Aimee Carter – Pawn is not even out yet and I am dying to read the second in the series. I received an ARC of Pawn and adored it. I cannot wait to read more of this series. 

4. Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi – I have yet to read the second book in the Under the Never Sky Trilogy but I love the first book to pieces and from what I have heard the second book is just as amazing. I do plan on reading it very soon. Into the Still Blue is set to be published January 28^th 2014 

5. Winter by Sierra Dean – I really enjoyed the first book in this series, it was a quick, awesome read and I cannot wait to see what happens in the second book in the Dog Days Series  as we are left with a cliff hanger in the first book. On Goodreads it says it’s expected to be published in November 2013 but I am not too sure about that. 

6. Fractured Innocence by Julia Crane – I recently read the first book into this series Freak of Nature and really enjoyed it. So when I heard there was going to be another book, I just had to put in on this list. No published date yet. 

7. Angel Fever by L.A Weatherly – I have really enjoyed the first 2 books into the series. And cannot wait to see what happens next, don’t be fooled by the cover. This has already been published in the UK/Australia in August this year but I am yet to read it. 

8.Sliver Shadows by Richelle Mead – Well I had to do, yes I know I already have The Fiery Heart on my list but I know I cannot wait for this either. This is the 5^th book into the Bloodlines Series. Set to be published August 2014.

So guys that is all I could think of :/ What sequels are you looking forward?

One moment. One foolish desire. One mistake. And Corinthe lost everything.

She fell from her tranquil life in Pyralis Terra and found herself exiled to the human world. Her punishment? To make sure people's fates unfold according to plan. Now, years later, Corinthe has one last assignment: kill Lucas Kaller. His death will be her ticket home.

But for the first time, Corinthe feels a tingle of doubt. It begins as a lump in her throat, then grows toward her heart, and suddenly she feels like she is falling all over again--this time for a boy she knows she can never have. Because it is written: one of them must live, and one of them must die. In a universe where every moment, every second, every fate has already been decided, where does love fit in?

This book sounds really interesting and different from what I have read. I love fantasy so I really home I enjoy this book. The cover is gorgeous as well. I really hope I enjoy this when it's time to read it.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?

Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covers

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covers 

This week was kind of hard in a way, as I don’t think I have ever read ‘scary’ books with ‘scary’ covers. Not that I don’t like them or that I am not into them, I just have never picked one of them up. So this list consist of, covers that I do, find scary in one way or another. 

1. Fallen by Lauren Kate – this cover in a sense is not scary, scary, but I do find the dark colours very gothic like and dark, which in some cases I do find scarier. 

2. The House of Dead Maids by Clare B. Dunkle -  This cover is just creepy, scary and just plain eerie. 

3. The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff – This cover is scary, anything to do with harming babies is scary to me but. The colours used, the weapons hanging on an old tree, above a babies pram. With all the low clouds/smoke very scary.

4. Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – I hate old house, they just creep me out so much, so having the old house in the background is enough already, but then the black, whites and greys with only the title, the bottom of her dress and what seems to be leaves or the shreds of material in red, makes it that much more creep. The fact that we only see her back, with her black hair going to one side with the wind, just creepy.

5. Asylum by Madeleine Roux - First of all the title of the book already, freaks me out, but the way it’s written is creepy as. Also the depiction of the figure of the girl and now it’s not full made out, how her face is somewhat not there makes it that much more scary. And how there is little light.

6. Sleepless by Thomas Fahy– They cover is just plain creepy. The way that the title is written on the sleeping mask in like a cut and the way blood is dripping down the girls face. 

7. Drought by Pam Bachorz –The girls face is transparent and you can see right through her and see the creepy, old woods is pretty scary to me.

8. Time of the Witches by Anna Myers– don’t need to say much about this cover, it speaks for its self.

9. Malice by Griffin Hayes– This cover is scary, come on a red eye, with skin that’s not the colour of normal skin.

10. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine #1) by Ransom Riggs– This is just a creepy cover. Like you wound not think it’s scary but it is. I think anything with kids like this is scary. 

Sorry that, if it looks really wired, I’m not sure what has happened. What do you think of the books I’ve chosen? Do you think they are scary? What books are on your list?

"Waiting" on Wednesday - Pawn

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is Pawn by Aimee Carter  

  

Expected Publication:  November 26^th 2013

Publisher: Harlequin Teen

Format: Hardcover (352 Pages) 

Series: The Blackcoat Rebellion #1

Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia

ISBN13: 9780373210558

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country. 

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked - surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter. 

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed, and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

This books sounds amazing. It sounds like it will be action filled which I love. I have never read a book by Aimee Carter but I have wanted to, so I think I will start with this. I also really like the cover; simple but yet very detailed. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait before it hits the stores.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you?
