WoW: Code by Kathy Reichs


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Basically this is a way to spotlight books that we are eagerly waiting on.  I have sat out for a couple of weeks, but I am back and I most definitely can't wait for this book.



Code by Kathy Reichs and Brendan Reichs 
 Virals #3

From Goodreads:Tory Brennan, the great-niece of Dr. Tempe Brennan, and the Virals return for a third thrilling adventure on Loggerhead Island.

While there isn't a whole lot that is revealed about this book, I can't wait for it. I am a huge Kathy Reichs fan, and if you  haven't started reading her books you definitely should.  This series is a YA series, but she is also responsible for the adult books that the show Bones is based off of.  I'm so excited for this book, I started doing a happy dance when I came across this cover. 

Always Shine,

(You should also check back as I am going back to the beginning since I started late in the series. This means I will review her books in order...so you'll see for yourself how awesome she is!)

Waiting on Wednesday (3): Origin by Jessica Khoury

From Goodreads: Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home—and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia’s origin—a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever. Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost. This is a supremely compelling debut novel that blends the awakening romance of Matched with the mystery and jungle conspiracy of Lost


I read the excerpt from the galley BEA Buzz Books from Netgalley and found myself wanting -no needing- to read more. I can't wait for this book to come out!!!  It's due out September 4th, and that still seems so far away.


Leave a link so I can check out your Waiting on Wednesday pick!!!

In case you haven't caught on to the theme of this WoW post, it's the next book in the Mercedes Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I went out and got River Marked as soon as it came out. I was about to crack it open when I saw the saddening news that the next book wouldn't be out until 2012, that was 8months away. I could wait and read it closer to the next one.  I waited and then found out the the next book, at the time unnamed, was being pushed back, 
  Now I know the name of it, Frost Burned, but there's not a blurb, there's not a title. Nothing but a tease and the insubstantial date of 2013 for its release. I will be reading River Marked next week, I can't take it anymore I need some more Mercy, RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Waiting on Wednesday (1): Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong

Blurb from Kelley Armstrong's website: A war is brewing—the first battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is left standing, albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half brother from supernatural medical testing, but he’s fighting to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation Movement took him hostage, and they have a plan to expose the supernatural world to the unknowing. Savannah has called upon her inner energy to summon spells with frightening strength, a strength she never knew she had, as she fights to keep her world from shattering. But it’s more than a matter of supernaturals against one another—both heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds, genetically modified werewolves, and all forces of good and evil have joined the fray.Uniting Savannah with Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-notforgotten characters in one epic battle, for a grand series finale.


I love Kelley Armstrong! The Otherworld series is by all means my absolute favorite series. While it's sad to see this series come to an end, I have to admit that I can't wait to read this book. And yes, this is one series that I will be re-reading for the pleasure of it.
