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's pick
Jude and her brother, Noah, are incredibly close twins. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude surfs and cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and divisive ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as an unpredictable new mentor. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.
This radiant, fully alive, sometimes very funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.
Expected publication date: September 16th, 2014.
Tanja's pick:
Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.
When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin's arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence.
Expected publication date: May 6t, 2014.

OdgovoriIzbrišiI am glad you like them, Ali :)
IzbrišiOk, I know nothing about these two, but The Sky Is Everywhere is such a loved book so I hope that I'll Give You the Sun will be epic. And Tanya's choice? Well, I haven't had the greatest luck with mermaid books, but I wouldn't mind checking this out. Assassins and princes? Whoop!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI haven't had luck with mermaid books either so I'm kinda of scared. Thanks Siiri :)
IzbrišiI almost picked I'll Give You The Sun as my WoW today! I can't wait to read it. Deep Blue doesn't sound like my kind of book. I hope you both enjoy reading your picks! Thanks for stopping by My WoW
OdgovoriIzbrišiThat's great :) I hope you'll read them both. Thanks :)
IzbrišiGlass, I absolutely LOVED Jandy Nelson's debut and absolutely cannot wait to pick up this book either! It looks unbelievably promising. And Tanja, I've adored Donnelley's work in the past too and though this is extremely different from her typical historical fiction, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's still just as good. Wonderful picks, ladies!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI cannot wait to read it too :D I really hope it is. Thanks Keertana :)
IzbrišiOoh I want to read both. Great picks.
OdgovoriIzbrišiHappy Wednesday!

IzbrišiIt does sound a bit MG but Jendy always makes her stories universal. Thanks Aman :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll give them a try :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiAhhh, I was going to pick I'll Give You The Sun this week, though the one I did pick has a similar cover, and Deep Blue! YES. Been seeing it everywhere, but seriously can't wait to read it! Thanks for stopping by mine earlier. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI am happy to hear you have been waiting for the same books as we :D Thanks Kristy :)
IzbrišiI hadn't heard about I'll Give You the Sun and it sounds AWESOME - thank you SO much for sharing. Going straight on my TBR. I haven't read Jandy Nelson's last book, but I heard amazing things about it.
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for sharing and for stopping by my WoW!

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I hope you'll enjoy Deep Blue :) Thanks Alyssa :)
IzbrišiYES TO BOTH!!!! I've heard AMAZING things about the Sky is Everywhere, so I really need to read something by Jandy Nelson. And I fell in love with Deep Blue the moment I saw that cover, so that one can't release soon enough for me Tanja!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYou need to read it Jenny, it's amazing. Thanks :)
IzbrišiI'm really excited for Deep Blue. I loved it the moment I saw the book trailer.
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt's amazing. I agree! Thanks Kristin :)
IzbrišiOMG! I'll Give You the Sun has a brother sister twin?! I have a twin brother as well so this one is definitely going on my tbr. I can hardly find any books with such a plot line. Great picks ladies! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJanhvi @ The Readdicts
Really? I had no idea girl. That's really amazing. Thanks Janhvi :)
IzbrišiI'm so excited for another Jandy Nelson novel!!! The Deep Blue cover is really pretty though I usually steer clear of mermaids for some reason. Great picks!

IzbrišiThese both sound good! I've been keeping an eye on Deep Blue, but I'm still not sure if I want to pick it up. You'll have to read it and review it so I can make up my mind! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by! I'm a new follower! :)
I hope you'll enjoy it. Thanks Alyssa :)
IzbrišiI didn't know Jennifer Donnelly wrote fantasy! That's very cool. Deep Blue looks like a very cute read and I love the cover. The mermaid is wearing a dress, haha!
OdgovoriIzbriši-Mari
Yes she did :D Hope you'll enjoy it :)
IzbrišiMermaid books can be very hit and miss for me, but I'm still looking forward to reading Deep Blue. I've never tried anything by Jennifer Donnelly before though. And I'm very excited about Jandy Nelson's book! That cover still does nothing for me, but hopefully the insides will be prettier. :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiI haven't read anything by Jennifer either so we will see :) Thanks Sam :)
IzbrišiBoth books sound interesting. Love the cover of the mermaid one. Great picks!
OdgovoriIzbrišiLaura @ Through Raspberry Colored Glasses

IzbrišiI don't think I've even heard of I'll Give You the Sun, but I LOVE how it sounds!! It's definitely going on the TBR. :) I've got a copy of Deep Blue to read, and am hoping it'll be great, since I've yet to find a truly awesome mermaid book yet. :) Great picks!!
OdgovoriIzbrišiRachel @ Paper Cuts
I really hope you'll enjoy both of these. Thanks Rachel :)
IzbrišiLovely picks, ladies! I still haven't read Nelson's debut, though I do own a copy! I know... what am I waiting for exactly? I don't know. But I'll be getting around to it soon!
