Sixteen-year-old Neva has been trapped since birth. She was born and raised under the Protectosphere, in an isolated nation ruled by fear, lies, and xenophobia. A shield "protects" them from the outside world, but also locks the citizens inside. But there's nothing left on the outside, ever since the world collapsed from violent warfare. Or so the government says...

US Hardback edition

Neva and her best friend Sanna believe the government is lying and stage a "dark party" to recruit members for their underground rebellion. But as Neva begins to uncover the truth, she realizes she must question everything she's ever known, including the people she loves the most.

Thanks so much to publisher for allowing me to have this for review.

The copy that I received from the publisher said the release date was October 20th, but now Amazon says the release date is December 22nd.

What are you reading now?

Would you recommend it?

And what’s next?

I've just started The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

I'm not far in enough to say if I would recommend it or not.

And I hope to read Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergen next.

Waiting on Wedneesday

Waiting on Wednesday is all about sharing the books that I'm eagerly waiting to be released.




This week the book I am anticipating is:
The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter.

This has been available in the US for some time now and I have wanted to read it since it was released but it hasn't been available in the UK until the 16th of September.
A modern re-telling of the story of Hades and Persephone...perfect for me, I love re-tellings, Greek myths and romance. 
It sounds similar to Meg Cabot's Abandon which was my Waiting on Wednesday last week.
I am really excited to read this book.
Super, super excited.
Can't wait.

Anna was looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. So she's less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all . . . including a serious girlfriend.

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss? Stephanie Perkins keeps the romantic tension crackling and the attraction high in a debut guaranteed to make toes tingle and hearts melt.

What’s your book with weather events? Hurricanes? Tornadoes? Blizzards? Real? Fiction? Doesn’t matter … weather comes up a lot in books, so there’s got to be a favorite somewhere, huh?


Hmmm....I drew a total blank as to books I've read where the weather plays a large role in.  There has to be some but I just can't think of any.  I do have the first two books in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series on my bookshelf and hope to start them soon and as you can tell by their titles the weather plays a vital part in the stories.
