Waiting on Wednesday: December Picks

Waiting on Wednesday features upcoming releases and is hosted by Breaking the Spine. This is our monthly post, where we pick books that are coming out in the next month that we just cannot wait for. That we're absolutely dying to read. 

Although it seems like everyone else has read it but us, we're both really excited about These Broken Stars.

These Broken Stars

Author:  Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Publisher:  Disney Hyperion, 384 pages

Expected Publication Date:  December 10, 2013

From Goodreads:

It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.

In addition, I'm excited about:

Class of '98 by A.L. Player, expected publication date: December 3, 2013

Girl and guy get sent back in time from their tenth year high school reunion to senior year of high school.  Described as Back to the Future meets She's All That.  Enough said.

Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes, expected publication date:  December 3, 2013.

I've already read this, but I loved Falling Kingdoms so much and Rebel Spring is fantastic.  Described as a YA Game of Thrones, this is one of my favorite fantasy series right now.

Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout, expected publication date:  December 1, 2013.

I'm not a big novella fan, but a new series from JLA?  Involving gargoyles?  Can't wait!

Sheri's Picks

The Geeks Guide to Dating by Eric Smith, expected publication date December 3, 2013.  Who doesn't love a story where the geeks finally win?

A collection of short stories that asks a variety of authors to consider what if your world suddenly changed.

 

Dangerous Dream by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, expected publication date December 17, 2013.  I just started the Beautiful Creatures series and I am loving it.  This series will focus on some of the secondary characters like Link and Ridley.
