“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly

anticipating.

This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Format: Hardcover (368 pages)
Series: –
Genre: Contemporary, Romance
ISBN13: 9781442426702

Synopsis

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister’s ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.

I have never read anything by Jenny before but this sounds really interesting and I am trying to read more contemporary and the story line really intrigues me.

This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings

Expected Publication: June 10^th 2014

Publisher: Greenwillow – Harper Collins

Format: Hardcover (400 pages)

Series: The Murder Complex #1

Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia, Thriller, Mystery, Romance

ISBN13: 9780062220004

Synopsis

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

This book sounds really interesting and different. I also haven’t read much Thriller or anything like that, but this book really pulls me. I also haven’t read anything about assassins and all that kind of stuff. So I think this will be a very new read for me as well.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?
