Waiting on Wednesday (#66)


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.

Our pick #1

Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she’s not popular, but not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet, “good” girl who's always done what she's supposed to—only now in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change, but doesn’t know how.

Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe’s. Star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, on a fast track to a brilliant future—until he was expelled for being a “term paper pimp.” Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change, but doesn’t know how.

One fateful night their paths cross when Wren, working at her family’s Arthurian-themed catering hall, performs the Heimlich on Gray as he chokes on a cocktail weenie, saving his life literally and figuratively. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are—and falling in love.


Expected publication: December 31st, 2013

Our pick #2

In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?


Expected publication: November 19th, 2013

We'd love to see your picks so feel free to link them up.

Until the next time,

  1. I want to read both these books as soon as possible. Though I didn't love Angelfall as much as most people did, I'm still eager to continue the series.
    Plus, both covers are lovely too.
    Great picks, girls!

  11. Girls, I'm waiting for both of these, too. The Promise has an evercute cover which I absolutely adore and the premise? Heck yes!!! As for World After, LOL. I haven't read Angelfall yet since WA wasn't even announced when I first got Angelfall. However, it's sitting on my shelf, looking as pretty as ever and I'm so very tempted to read it soon so I can read my copy of World After when it arrives :)
