Waiting on Wednesday #56 and W.W.W. Wednesday #46

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




Contaminated
Contaminated by EM Garner

July 23rd 2013


          
After the Contamination—an epidemic caused by the super-trendy diet drink SlimPro that turned ordinary citizens into violent, uncontrollable creatures—the government rounded up the “Connies” to protect the remaining population. Now, two years later, the rehabilitated are being allowed home, complete with shock collars that will either control, or kill, them.

Velvet Ellis has struggled to care for her ten-year-old sister since her parents were taken in the round up. When she finds her mother in one of the “Kennels,” Velvet resolves to do whatever it takes to put her family back together. But the danger isn’t over. It’s beginning all over again…

Gritty and grabbing, Velvet is a harrowing, emotionally charged novel for fans of Carrie Ryan and The Walking Dead.




Famous Last Words
Famous Last Words by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski
July 2nd 2013


Sixteen-year-old Samantha D’Angelo has death on the brain. Her summer internship at the local newspaper has her writing obituaries instead of soaking up the sun at the beach. Between Shelby, Sam’s boy-crazy best friend; her boss Harry, a true-blue newspaper man; and AJ, her fellow “intern scum” (aka the cute drummer for a band called Love Gas), Sam has her hands full. But once she figures out what—or who—is the best part of her summer, will she mess it all up?

As Sam learns her way around both the news room and the real world, she starts to make some momentous realizations about politics, ethics, her family, romance, and most important—herself.

  1. I was wondering if I could borrow your graphic for the Waiting on Wednesday meme if I promise to link the graphic back to you? I absolutely love it and I haven't quite got my own meme buttons yet.
    Oh and I have been wanting to read The Farm forever but I always forget to pick it up when my book buying budget comes around! Great picks!

  6. Your collection of books is sending me back and forth, back and forth, as I track them down on amazon to read more about them. What a great lot of covers and titles.
