Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and it's a weekly meme all about the books that are coming out soon that we really can't wait to read.
One book on my list this week. And it is...

Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she’s opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn’t possible, Janelle knows—with every fiber of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
But her reincarnation, and Ben’s possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI-agent father’s files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what’s right in front of her: Everything that’s happened—the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben’s sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she’s going to need to uncover Ben’s secrets—and keep from falling in love with him in the process.
From debut author Elizabeth Norris comes this shattering novel of one girl’s fight to save herself, her world, and the one boy she never saw coming.

OH MY GOD!!!!!! This looks SO good! As in, I may DIE waiting for it good! Ok. I'll stop now.
Well, that's the book I'm waiting for.
What're you waiting for today?
This does look good, but it sounds a bit like Twilight to me for some reason... Like you know the scene where Edward stops the car from hitting Bella? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog! I would love to take part in the Fortnight of Guests this year, thanks for the offer! When is it on?
Wow, this sounds great! I've seen it a lot of places but never read the summary. Now that I have, I'm going to keep a lookout b/c a clock ticking down to some unknown something? A boy who brings the MC back to life?? Sign me up, man. This is right up my alley!

I've seen this mentioned on a few other blogs, the summary makes it sound so interesting, so I'll definitely be on the look out for this in June!
ReplyDeleteCliona: I guess it does a little... Hmm. Hadn't even thought of that! :D And Fortnight of Guests is June-July. I'm considering making it a month of guests! That may be a little OTT... But I'd love to have you take part! I'll email you 'bout the details! :)
ReplyDeleteNinja Girl: Yay! I glad I helped you find a new book to look out for! :D
Hollie: Me too! I can't wait for it to come out! :)
