You know the story. This is a meme created by Breaking the Spine and every week we pick books we're waiting for. Here are our picks for this week.
Glass' pick
Rapunzel's tower is a satellite. She can't let down her hair - or her guard.
In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.
Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker – unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

Tanja's pick
DESTRUCTION
The Year of Souls begins with an earthquake—an alarming rumble from deep within the earth—and it’s only the first of greater dangers to come. The Range caldera is preparing to erupt. Ana knows that as Soul Night approaches, everything near Heart will be at risk.
FLIGHT
Ana’s exile is frightening, but it may also be fortuitous, especially if she can convince her friends to flee Heart and Range with her. They’ll go north, seeking answers and allies to stop Janan’s ascension. And with any luck, the newsouls will be safe from harm’s reach.
CHOICE
The oldsouls might have forgotten the choice they made to give themselves limitless lifetimes, but Ana knows the true cost of reincarnation. What she doesn’t know is whether she’ll have the chance to finish this one sweet life with Sam, especially if she returns to Heart to stop Janan once and for all.
With gorgeous romance and thrilling action, the final book in the Incarnate trilogy offers a brilliant conclusion to the compelling questions of this fascinating world, where one new girl is the key to the lives of millions.

Until the next time,
I have heard some really good things about the Lunar Chronicles and the cover for Infinite is just gorgeous!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI love Infinite cover so much, colors are so pretty :) Thanks :)
IzbrišiI haven't read Cinder yet, but maybe I can get to it and Scarlet by the time Cress comes out.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI'm planing to do the same when Cress comes out :)
IzbrišiI can't wait for Cress too!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get it soon :)
IzbrišiOMGOMG I can't wait for Cress either! The cover is beautiful. As for Infinite, I gave up on that series after the first one but I really admire the covers!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGreat picks! <33
I still haven't gave up so I'll wait for it. I just hope it won't disappoint. Thanks Melanie :)
IzbrišiEven though I'm behind in The Lunar Chronicles I still can't help but be excited for Cress. I mean Rapunzel in a Satellite c'mon awesome! Infite also sounds good but I'm more in awe of the gorgeous cover than anything. Great picks this week!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by earlier!
Yeah cover is really gorgeous :) I hope you'll get to read Cress soon :)
IzbrišiCinder just never worked for me, I'm definitely the odd one out there. I dislike retellings to begin with and I just felt that it was painfully predictable and rather dull.
OdgovoriIzbrišiThe Incarnate series, however, is one I've been meaning to read for a very long time. Hopefully I'll get a chance soon.
Great picks, girls.
I still haven't tried it so we'll see :) I hope you'll get a chance to start Incarnate soon. Thanks Maja :)
IzbrišiI'm eagerly awaiting both of these too! I have to admit I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Cress more than Infinite though.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get to read both soon :) Thanks Jenni :)
IzbrišiI definitely want to read Cress, but I've yet to read Incarnate and really want to :) Thanks for stopping by My WW!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJanina
I hope you'll get to read both then :) Thanks Janina :)
IzbrišiSuper duper excited for Cress. I really wanna know what happens with Cinder and gang. I haven't read any Jodi Meadows books yet and I've read mixed reviews of this series so not sure how I feel about it. Great pick ladies! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJanhvi @ The Readdicts
I really hope you'll get to read Cress soon :) and to start with Incarnate :)Thanks Janhvi :)
IzbrišiBoth great picks! I am super stoked for Cress and I think I might start Meadows soon as well. :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiHappy reading!
I hope you'll enjoy them. Thanks Ula :)
IzbrišiI still need to start The Lunar Chronicles. I recently read Incarnate and even though I havent read the second book yet, I am still really excited for Infinite. Great picks!
OdgovoriIzbrišiTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
I also have to start that series :) Thanks Teresa :)
IzbrišiGosh you've reminded me that there are two awesome authors in the world who I still haven't read and must do... My winter's going to be book heavy I think! Not a bad thing. :-) Thanks for sharing guys, awesome picks.
OdgovoriIzbrišiLOL I think we all have a lot of catch up to do :) Thanks for stopping by :)
IzbrišiI'm looking forward to both of these! Two great series. Great picks! Please check out my WoW!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get them soon. Thanks for stopping by :)
IzbrišiCress does look good. I'd wait for this one too.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get to read it soon :)
IzbrišiI love both of the covers. I haven't read Incarnate though and Cinder was so boring for me when I first tried it (I'll try to get into it someday again), however, most of the blogosphere is waiting for these and I can't wait to see what everyone thinks:)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope that this time it'll blow you away :) Me too :)
IzbrišiCool picks this week. I should start both of these series soon :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiHappy Wednesday!
http://www.itchingforbooks.com/2013/09/waiting-on-wednesday-66-pointe-oblivion.html
I hope you'll enjoy them :) Happy Wednesday to you too :)
IzbrišiI still need to read the second books of both of these series! I had some mixed thoughts on Cinder, but I remember loving Incarnate. I'll have to carry on with that trilogy when I can. I hope these books live up to your expectations! Thanks for sharing. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll enjoy sequels :) I actually was a bit disappointed by Incarnate's sequel (I can't even remember the title and that tells you something). Thanks Sam :)
IzbrišiAHHHHH! YES! Both of these are on my "must have" list for next year and I cannot wait for them! Such pretty covers too, that always makes me want a book more. SO EXCITED!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI really hope you'll get them soon Jenny!! :) Thanks :)
IzbrišiI read Cinder and enjoyed it. But I haven't read Scarlet yet. I'll have to get to it soon. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for stopping by My WoW
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll read it before the Cress is out so you can enjoy it right away. Thanks :)
IzbrišiI still need to read Scarlet but I really enjoyed Cinder, so Cress is on my TBR. Haven't heard of the other book yet. Thanks for stopping by my Wow
OdgovoriIzbrišiI need to start with that series asap :) Thanks El :)
IzbrišiThe cover for CRESS. So gorgeous! I love the hues and how we only get to see Rapunzel's hair (which is also incredibly beautiful with all those flowers woven into it). I still need to read CINDER, and I keep promising everyone that I will, soon, but I just haven't found the time. :( It's killing me, though, since so many people loved it.
OdgovoriIzbrišiINCARNATE is also another book I haven't read, but I'm not sure if I'll be giving that one a go, since I tried a sampler about a year ago and didn't really like it much. :/ The covers are super pretty too.
Great picks, you two! Hopefully these live up to your expectations when you get to read them. :)
I still need to read Cinder too and I have no idea what the hell I'm waiting for. :( I love the covers for the Incarnate series, only the books aren't as good as I hoped still I will finish the series. Thanks Meg :)
IzbrišiNice picks! I really want to read Incarnate but still haven't. The covers for both series are gorgeous though :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by!
Zareena @ Books and Books
I hope you'll get to read it soon. I'm glad you like them. Thank you :)
IzbrišiSo excited for Infinite, hope you get to read it soon
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get to read it soon too :)
IzbrišiOh goodness, Cress looks wonderful! I really must catch up on that series.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI wasn't a fan of Incarnate, but I do love the covers.
Thanks for sharing!
I hope you'll enjoy that series. Well yeah I should have gave up a while ago but I didn't. Thanks Andrea :)
IzbrišiHi Andy! I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for stopping by :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiOoh love these covers. So pretty, especially Cress. I haven't read these series, but I might need to give them a shot.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI'm so glad you like it :) I hope you'll enjoy them.
IzbrišiUh I'm sure a lot of people will be really jelly of you :)) I hope you'll catch up :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes, Yes, Yes to both..such awesome picks!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI've only read the first books in both series, but I really enjoyed them! I am also excited for these two, even though I'm not quite caught up yet!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by my WOW!
Jessica@Lovin' Los Libros
I hope you'll catch up with both series :) Thanks Jessica :)
IzbrišiI haven't read either of these series -- I feel so out of the loop! My sis and I usually read completely different series because we blog together (it's all in order to get as many reviews up as possible) and she's read both of these and loved them both!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThat's a good plan. Sometimes Glass and I read totally different books. I hope you'll get to read both of these :)
IzbrišiGreat picks! I have seen these books on my goodreads home page. Will have to check them out!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by my Wow ;)
Mikki @A Bookish Escape
I'm glad you like them :) Thanks Mikki :)
IzbrišiOh they both look great! I can't WAIT for Cress, I think it will be amazing. And I haven't read Jodi Meadows' books yet, but I want to!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by!
Shaheen @ Speculating on SpecFic
Check out what I'm waiting on!
Hopefully you'll get it soon :) Thanks Shaheen :)
IzbrišiLoved Cinder and I still need to read Scarlett. I loved Incarnate and still need to read the second book! But very excited for these too! Thanks for stopping by!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI should read Cinder really soon. Thanks Jennifer :)
IzbrišiI have the 2nd book in the Jodi Meadows series of your pick, Tanja. I didn't know you're a fan but I guess I need to read this if you are dying for the 3rd book.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hear a lot of high praise for The Lunar Chronicles, Glass, but I have yet to read it.
Hope you two get your hands on these reads soon! :)
Sadly the second book disappointed me - it suffers from middle book syndrome so I hope the third one will get us back on track :) Thanks Rachel :)
IzbrišiI have Incarnate, but never read it, and I never read Scarlet, but I liked Cinder! Series and I break up all the time :\ But, I hope you get to read these two, and you love them! :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for visiting my blog!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yes it happens a lot. I hope you'll catch up. Thanks :)
IzbrišiI am SO unbelievably excited for BOTH of these! Maybe slightly more for Cress, but only slightly. Great choices ladies! :-)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get them soon. Thank Lauren :)
IzbrišiI still haven't read the first books in either series, despite the beautiful covers and intriguing descriptions *sigh* I really need to at least get Cinder at some point. Great picks, and I hope you'll get to read them soon :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiYeah both series truly have wonderful covers. I hope you'll get to read them soon :)
IzbrišiGah! I haven't started either of these series yet! FAIL. I have the books though. I hope you get to read them soon!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by my post. Sorry for the super late response. :)
I hope you'll :) Thanks Sara :)
