Waiting on Wednesday (2)
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week I have chosen two YA novels that are out but that my library don’t have in yet and that I really want to read! So I will carry on waiting…
The Sky is Everywhere synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey
dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey’s boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie’s own. Joe is the new boy in
town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they’re the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can’t collide without the whole wide world exploding.
Sisters Red synopsis:
Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris– the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She’s determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts fiercely alongside her. Now Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves and finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax– but loving him means betraying her sister and has the potential to destroy all they’ve worked for.
These both sound interesting. I’ve seen Sisters Red a couple times, and I need to add it to my tbr pile.
My WoW is here.
Nice picks. Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
I have SISTERS RED at home. W/o the cover, but I have it. If you want, I’ll read it next and then ship it on over to you?
If that is OK Nicole that would be great
I picked up Sisters Red this week (haven’t read it yet) and I’ve been lusting after The Sky is Everywhere too! There’s a wait list at my library for it, so I haven’t got my paws on it yet. Good choices.
Great books, I can’t wait to read them both as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
