Interesting fact - 22 is actually my lucky number. Back to the point - it's time for another Waiting on Wednesday. As you all know it's a meme created by ladies at Breaking the Spine. So here is what we have for you this week.
Glass' pick
Everyone should have something to rebel against.
Crank Wilson left his South Boston home at sixteen to start a punk band and burn out his rage at the world. Six years later, he’s still at odds with his father, a Boston cop, and doesn’t ever speak to his mother. The only relationship that really matters is with his younger brother, but watching out for Sean can be a full-time job. The one thing Crank wants in life is to be left the hell alone to write his music and drive his band to success.
Julia Thompson left a secret behind in Beijing that exploded into scandal in Washington, DC, threatening her father's career and dominating her family's life. Now, in her senior year at Harvard, she's haunted by a voice from her past and refuses to ever lose control of her emotions again, especially when it comes to a guy.
When Julia and Crank meet at an anti-war protest in Washington in the fall of 2002, the connection between them is so powerful it threatens to tear everything apart.

Tanja's pick
There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.
They call it the Heist.
Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.
Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?
Expected publication: April 16th, 2013
How much is too much to love?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.
In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.
Expected publication: April 16, 2013

I wasn't the biggest fan of Beautiful Disaster but I'm still a little curious about Travis's story. A song for Julia and Taken sound like brilliant reads. I hope you get to read them soon!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks girls! :) I hope we'll get the books soon :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI so cannot wait to finally read Taken! A Song for Julia sounds like a great read and well, I have yet to read Beautiful Disaster but the cover of Walking Disaster is awesome.

I've never heard of A Song For Julia before but damn, it sounds awesome! Must definitely go on my TBR, thanks so much for pointing it out! Taken also sounds interesting, but Walking Disaster I'll have to pass on ^^''
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for stopping by earlier :)
Oh I'm wondering what Julia's secret is! I can't wait to read Taken either. And I loved Beautiful Disaster even though it was a hot mess, so I'm totally looking forward to Walking Disaster. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI also loved Beautiful Disaster and I can't wait to read this one! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you all for stopping by :)
Great picks! A Song For Julia sounds especially amazing :)
OdgovoriIzbriši*spasms and dies* The cover for Taken is GORGEOUS. I've read a few rave reviews of it, and I love how it's from a male's POV (you don't see that too often in YA fiction, unfortunately). Great picks, ladies!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you girls :) I know Taken looks amzaing :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI want to read Taken too! It looks like it'll be very good! & I haven't read Beautiful Disaster but once I do I'm going to be after Walking Disaster - so many amazing releases coming out, I can hardly wait!
