The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy #1)
Genre: Young Adult fantasy
To be out on September 17, 2013
Goodreads Description:             It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.

Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he's also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to revenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.

But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.

The Chaos Of Stars by: Kiersten White
Genre: Young Adult
On sale September 10, 2013
Goodreads Description:                                                            Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She’s also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can’t be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she’s a mere mortal.

Isadora’s sick of living a life where she’s only worthy of a passing glance, and when she has the chance to move to San Diego with her brother, she jumps on it. But Isadora’s quickly finding that a “normal” life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there’s no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can’t shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family. When it turns out there may be truth in her nightmares, Isadora has to decide whether she can abandon her divine heritage after all.

Can I just say, I LOVE THIS COVER!!! It is such a gorgeous cover! Also, who doesn't like books about awesome Egyptian gods? This book is going to be amazing!! I CANT WAIT!!!

All I Need by Susane Colasanti 
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary
Goodreads Description:                                                    Skye wants to meet the boy who will change her life forever. Seth feels their instant connection the second he sees her. When Seth starts talking to Skye at the last beach party of the summer, it’s obvious to both of them that this is something real. But when Seth leaves for college before they exchange contact info, Skye wonders if he felt the same way she did—and if she will ever see him again. Even if they find their way back to each other, can they make a long-distance relationship work despite trust issues, ex drama, and some serious background differences?

Teen favorite Susane Colasanti returns to the alternating-voice style of her beloved debut When It Happens in this Serendipity-inspired story about summer, soul mates, and the moments that change our lives forever.

     Susane Colasanti is such an amazing author! If you are looking for a perfect summer read, pick up one of her books! Her books always bring a smile to my face when I read them. Make sure you have the time to read though because once you pick up one of her books, you wont put it down until you are finished. I am so excited for All I Need!

The Moon And More by: Sarah Dessen
Genre: Young Adult, contemporary
Release date: June 4th, 2013
Goodreads Book Description:                                         Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.

Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.

Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?

Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?

Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

     I have always loved Sarah Dessen's books! She is a huge reason to why I love reading so much and is honestly my number 1 favorite author for contemporary novels!! It is for amazing stories that keep me captured to the very end, like she writes, that I love books!  I have honestly never read a single books of hers that I thought was even mediocre. She amazes me with each new book! That is why I am so excited that she has a new book coming this year!
     One of the crazy awesome things about Sarah Dessen's writing is that each book somehow brings in another piece of a different book of hers. If you read all of the books she has written you will start seeing what I mean. Whether it be a random run in with a character from another book, or a vacation in a place that another book took place! It is so awesome and almost like a game to see how much you can notice! I am excited to see what happens in this next one!

So what are you waiting on this lovely Wednesday?

Mila 2.0 
Coming March 12! (Almost here!!)
Goodreads Description: Mila 2.0 is the first book in an electrifying sci-fi thriller series about a teenage girl who discovers that she is an experiment in artificial intelligence.

Mila was never meant to learn the truth about her identity. She was a girl living with her mother in a small Minnesota town. She was supposed to forget her past —that she was built in a secret computer science lab and programmed to do things real people would never do.

Now she has no choice but to run—from the dangerous operatives who want her terminated because she knows too much and from a mysterious group that wants to capture her alive and unlock her advanced technology. However, what Mila’s becoming is beyond anyone’s imagination, including her own, and it just might save her life.

Mila 2.0 is Debra Driza’s bold debut and the first book in a Bourne Identity–style trilogy that combines heart-pounding action with a riveting exploration of what it really means to be human. Fans of I Am Number Four will love Mila for who she is and what she longs to be—and a cliffhanger ending will leave them breathlessly awaiting the sequel.
You can go here to watch the trailer and see why I think it looks so freaking amazing!! http://shelf-life.ew.com/2013/03/06/mila-2-0-trailer-debra-driza-exclusive/

This sounds like it will be one heck of an adventure! I am dying to get my hands on a copy of this book! So stoked!

This weeks pick: 
Canary by: Rachele Alpine
Coming August 1, 2013
Goodreads Book Description:                                  Staying quiet will destroy her, but speaking up will destroy everyone.

Kate Franklin’s life changes for the better when her dad lands a job at Beacon Prep, an elite private school with one of the best basketball teams in the state. She begins to date a player on the team and quickly gets caught up in a world of idolatry and entitlement, learning that there are perks to being an athlete. 

But those perks also come with a price. Another player takes his power too far and Kate is assaulted at a party. Although she knows she should speak out, her dad’s vehemently against it and so, like a canary sent into a mine to test toxicity levels and protect miners, Kate alone breathes the poisonous secrets to protect her dad and the team. The world that Kate was once welcomed into is now her worst enemy, and she must decide whether to stay silent or expose the corruption, destroying her father’s career and bringing down a town’s heroes.

Canary is told in a mix of prose and verse.

I have been very interested in this book ever since I saw it on goodreads! It sounds really good and interesting. I have a feeling this will be an emotional read but also a very good story. 
What book are you just dying to get your hands on?

Waiting On Wednesday: Across A Star-Swept Sea by: Diana Peterfreund

Across A Star-Swept Sea by +Diana Peterfreund 
Coming October 15, 2013

Book Description:
Centuries after wars nearly destroyed civilization, the two islands of New Pacifica stand alone, a terraformed paradise where even the Reduction—the devastating brain disorder that sparked the wars—is a distant memory. Yet on the isle of Galatea, an uprising against the ruling aristocrats has turned deadly. The revolutionaries’ weapon is a drug that damages their enemies’ brains, and the only hope is rescue by a mysterious spy known as the Wild Poppy.
On the neighboring island of Albion, no one suspects that the Wild Poppy is actually famously frivolous aristocrat Persis Blake. The teenager uses her shallow, socialite trappings to hide her true purpose: her gossipy flutternotes are encrypted plans, her pampered sea mink is genetically engineered for spying, and her well-publicized new romance with handsome Galatean medic Justen Helo… is her most dangerous mission ever.
Though Persis is falling for Justen, she can’t risk showing him her true self, especially once she learns he’s hiding far more than simply his disenchantment with his country’s revolution and his undeniable attraction to the silly socialite he’s pretending to love. His darkest secret could plunge both islands into a new dark age, and Persis realizes that when it comes to Justen Helo, she’s not only risking her heart, she’s risking the world she’s sworn to protect.


I absolutely loved For Darkness Shows The Stars. I am so excited for this companion novel to come out!! I really can't wait to see more of this world that Diana has created! Also, the covers to these books are so absolutely gorgeous! I am in aww when I see these covers! 

What I think about Diana Peterfreund:

Who else is excited for this next book??

Cassia faces the ultimate choices in the long-anticipated conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy

After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising—and each other—Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.
