There is.

She's wrong.

Within days, she's shipped off to the Nekyia Academy, an elite school that trains the best necromancers in the world. And her personal reaping tutor? Rath. Who seems to hate her guts.

To make matters worse, students at the academy start turning up catatonic, and accusations fly-against Molly. The only way o

This week's Top Ten features books that everyone has read -- except for me. I actually had a hard time narrowing this down to ten, and ended up excluding "classics," though there are still an infinite number of those I need to read in my lifetime.
1. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher: It seems like every is talking about this one lately, and no one has anything but praise. I'm on a contemporary kick right now, so this is definitely high up on my list of books to read ASAP. As in, this weekend.
2. Paper Towns by John Green: This applies to John Green books in general. Everyone seems to have read at least one! I own a couple, but I haven't read them yet. I don't know why!
3. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan and John Green: Again, applies to all David Levithan books. I picked up a ton at the library and just never got around to them. I'm ashamed.
On Friday, EW.com revealed the cover art for Insurgent, the sequel to Veronica Roth's bestselling debut Divergent. Check it out:Coming May 2012!
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
I LOVED
Divergent, so I'm really excited for this sequel. I really love the cover motif they have going on -- it doesn't make sense until you read the book and then you go "OHHHH". This is really pretty -- I love the swirling tree, even if I'm not sure what it means.
Alethea Kontis recently revealed the cover for her upcoming novel Enchanted. Check it out:Coming May 8, 2012!
It isn’t easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.
When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.

Dark of the Moon by Tracy BarrettHarcourt Children's BooksAriadne is destined to become a goddess of the moon. She leads a lonely life, filled with hours of rigorous training by stern priestesses. Her former friends no longer dare to look at her, much less speak to her. All that she has left are her mother and her beloved, misshapen brother Asterion, who must be held captive below the palace for his own safety.
So when a ship arrives one spring day, bearing a tribute of slaves from Athens, Ariadne sneaks out to meet it. These newcomers don’t know the ways of Krete; perhaps they won’t be afraid of a girl who will someday be a powerful goddess. And indeed she meets Theseus, the son of the king of Athens. Ariadne finds herself drawn to the newcomer, and soon they form a friendship—one that could perhaps become something more.
Yet Theseus is doomed to die as an offering to the Minotaur, that monster beneath the palace—unless he can kill the beast first. And that "monster" is Ariadne’s brother . . .

Frequently, authors (and
Publishers Weekly) announce upcoming new series loooooong before there is pretty cover art or even a firm release date -- which makes it hard to include them for Waiting on Wednesday. However, their teasery descriptions are so exciting that I just have to share them. So, I'm going to start posting a roundup of exciting new book deals. Since this is the first one, I'm going to include a few that were announced a while back. (Click the titles to add them on Goodreads)
The Diviners by Libba Bray2012 | Little, Brown Books for Young ReadersAuthor of the
Gemma Doyle trilogy,
Going Bovine,
Beauty Queens, & more
A supernatural series set in Manhattan during the 1920s that follows a teen heroine reminiscent of two of the era's most famous literary women—Zelda Fitzgerald and Dorothy Parker.

Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Preorder: Amazon |
Barnes & NobleSt. Petersburg, Russia, 1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.
An evil presence is growing within Europe's royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina's strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources . . . including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar's standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina's help to safeguard Russia, even if he's repelled by her secret, and the dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Kate
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish.
Each week the bloggers at The Broke and The Bookish post a new Top Ten list that one of them answers. They welcome everyone to join in and share their lists, too. Click here for the rules – they are so simple!
This week’s Top Ten: Top Ten Books I Read Because Of Another Blogger (In honor of BBAW!)
Sadly, I can’t remember which blogs I discovered most of these book from, but I would have skipped all of them if I hadn’t read a blog post about them!
The Enemy by Charlie Higson – Wait! It has zombies! I hate zombies!! Oh, wait, maybe I was bit hasty…
Unlocked by Courtney Milan – Recommended on Dear Author –Wait! I don’t like novellas. They are too short! There is never much of a plot! Oh, wait. Maybe I was too hasty.
The Man She Loves To Hate by Kelly Hunter – Recommended on Dear Author – Wait! The blurb on the back cover does nothing for me! Oh, wait. This is a pretty good book after all.
Dark Life by Kat Falls – Wait! Why haven’t I heard of this one yet? I love the premise for this! I am sure this is a book I will love! Guess what? It was!
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver – Wait! The premise does not look interesting at all! Oh, wait. Wait! This is one of the best YA novels I have read – EVAR!
Heist Society by Ally Carter –Wait! This looks ridiculous! Teen-aged art thieves! Yeah, right! Oh, wait. They are pretty awesome, aren’t they?
Matched by Ally Condie – Wait! This does not look interesting at all! Oh, wait. Duh-huh. How could I have been wrong again!?
Rampant by Diana Peterfreund – Wait! Killer unicorns?! That sounds stupid! Oh, wait. Maybe not so stupid after all?
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins – Wait! I am so sick of magical boarding schools! They are all the same!! Oh, wait. Maybe this magical boarding school is not quite the same as the others?
Musing Mondays is a bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should be Reading.
This week’s Musing asks:
What is the one (or maybe two) qualities a book must have for you to pass it along to your best friend as a “must-read”?
I read a lot of books, but they have to be really special before I will recommend them to close friends, especially if the book is a genre that they normally do not read. When I completely convert them to new reading avenues, though, I gloat very unbecomingly and feel a little thrill of “book rec mojo.” I recommended some YA titles to my mom, and now she is totally hooked on them. I also converted friend, and now she reads many more YA novels than she ordinarily would have.
In order for me to give a recommendation to someone I interact with on a personal level, the book has to have held my attention for the entire length of the story. It also must have made me feel something: joy, fear, anger, sadness. I have to be able to relate to the protagonists, and the pacing has to be even for the entire read. More importantly, the story has to transport me out of my every day worries and concerns, and let me forget about all of the stress in my life.
So, what are some books I have recommended to family and friends? The Hunger Games, A Game of Thrones, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. They have yet to disappoint!
What about you? What qualities are required before you start shoving them off onto friends and family?

This week's Top Ten features all the sequels that we're dying to read -- whether because the first book was JUST THAT AMAZING or because there was a GINORMOUS CLIFFHANGER (y'all know about I feel about those). There will probably be more than 10 of these. You have been warned.
1. Mara Dyer #2 by Michelle Hodkin: 2012. If you've read
Mara Dyer, you KNOW why. If you haven't, you will soon (September 27! Squee!).
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer has got to be the hugest cliffhanger OF ALL TIME. Michelle Hodkin, you are evil. (I say that with much love.)
2. Clockwork Prince (Infernal Devices #2) by Cassandra Clare: December 6, 2011. The end of
Clockwork Angel toyed with my feelings for one Will Herondale, and then TOTALLY left me hanging. The agony! I have to know more! Victorian London and Supernatural Things and Sexy Boys Named Will = the Triple Crown of Awesome.

My Beating Teenage Heart by C. K. Kelly MartinThanks to Mary at Random House!Coming September 27, 2011!Ashlyn Baptiste is falling. One moment she was nothing—no memories, no self—and then suddenly, she's plummeting through a sea of stars. Is she in a coma? She doesn't remember dying, and she has no memories of the life she left behind. All she knows is that she's trapped in a consciousness without a body and she's spending every moment watching a stranger.
Breckon Cody's on the edge. He's being ripped apart by grief so intense it literally hurts to breath. On the surface, Breckon is trying to hold it together for his family and his girlfriend, but underneath he's barely hanging on.
Even though she didn't know him in life, Ashlyn sees Breckon's pain, and she's determined to find a way help him. As her own distressing memories emerge from the darkness, she struggles to communicate with the boy who can't see her, but whose life is suddenly intertwined with hers. In alternating voices of the main characters, My Beating Teenage Heartpaints a devastatingly vivid picture of both the heartbreak and the promise of teenage life—a life Ashlyn would do anything to recover and Breckon seems desperate to destroy—and will appeal to fans of Sarah Dessen, John Green, and David Levithan.

Coming December 27, 2011!
Love and Leftovers by Sarah TregayMy wish
is to fall
cranium over Converse
in dizzy, daydream-worthy
love.
When her parents split, Marcie is dragged from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. She leaves behind her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father.
By the time Labor Day rolls around, Marcie suspects this "vacation" has become permanent. She starts at a new school where a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up. But understanding love, especially when you've watched your parents' affections end, is elusive. What does it feel like, really? can you even know it until you've lost it?
Love and Leftovers is a beautifully written story of one girl’s journey navigating family, friends, and love, and a compelling and sexy read that teens will gobble up whole.
This sounds like a cute and fun read, a la Sarah Dessen or Stephanie Perkins. I need more contemporary in my reading diet, and who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned love story? Honestly, this synopsis had me with the opening poem. If that bright, snappy style is indicative of the rest of the book, I am all in.
What are you waiting on this week?

December 22, so I'll be listing books released between those dates.

Will er-- the sequel so hard.
2.

4.
Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber (November 1): "The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Pride and Prejudice, with a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Sold!
