Wednesday...


So, I totally meant to post a review of Stolen by Lucy Christopher before doing another one of these but I just haven't had time to sit down and write the review yet.

It's a little late, but here is another book I am waiting on...

This is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine

Today pick is Wither by Lauren DeStefano
 
What if you knew exactly when you would die?

Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb—males
only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. In this bleak
landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to
keep the population from dying out.

When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and go home.

But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant
Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the
limted time she has left.
It is set to be released March 22, 2011. The cover is striking and the synopsis sounds AMAZING. I am excited to finally get my hands on it!

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
