Hungry by H.A. Swain
published by feiwel & friends on june 3, 2014

In the future, food is no longer necessary—until Thalia begins to feel something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She’s hungry.

In Thalia’s world, there is no need for food—everyone takes medication (or “inocs”) to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground movement to bring food back, she realizes that most people live a life much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and so is he—the inocs aren’t working. Together they set out to find the only thing that will quell their hunger: real food.

H. A. Swain delivers an adventure that is both epic and fast-paced. Get ready to be Hungry.

So many people think this book looks weird. I guess it sort of does look weird. But the cover is just so pretty, and I'm willing to give the book a chance. I can't judge it before I've read it! I think if Swain does this book well it could be great.

WoW: They All Fall Down by Roxanne St. Claire

They All Fall Down by Roxanne St. Claire

published by delacorte press on october 14, 2014

Pretty Little Liars meets Final Destination in this YA psychological thriller that will have readers' hearts racing right till the very end!

Every year, the lives of ten girls at Vienna High are transformed.

All because of the list.

Kenzie Summerall can't imagine how she's been voted onto a list of the hottest girls in school, but when she lands at number five, her average life becomes dazzling. Doors open to the best parties, new friends surround her, the cutest jock in school is after her.

This is the power of the list. If you're on it, your life changes.

If you're on it this year? Your life ends.

This book sounds right up my alley; I'm serious. The premise just sounds so interesting, and I love the cover! The image is stunning. (I'm assuming the red is blood and not dinner plates?) And I just love books where things aren't as they seem! I feel like this will either be really good or really bad, so I'm hoping and praying for the former! I can't wait for this book to come out in October.

WoW: Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott (14)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine!

A modern day thrill ride, where a teen girl and her animal companion must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother's life—and her own.
Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong, her parents decide to move to Montana for the fresh air. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying—and she's helpless to change anything.

Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race.

The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?

I can't wait for Fire & Flood to come out on the 25th this month! It sounds so interesting! I love the idea of a girl doing something to same her family—something dangerous. I've seen both bad and good reviews, but I'm excited to make a conclusion for myself. I never know if I'll like something or not without trying it.

Panic by Lauren Oliver

published on march 4, 2014

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems besides the point now.

Maybe that was always besides the point.

Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.

That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .

Is that what she’s supposed to do?

Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened? 

I don't care if this is an adult novel; it's Rainbow Rowell, so of course I'm going to read it. Plus, the MC's last name is McCool. How cool is that? Hahahah, see what I did there? Yeah, I'm pretty lame. But anyway, this sounds pretty interesting. Rainbow Rowell always writes beautifully, and I love that about her. Also, dat cover. It's gorgeous.

I'll probably read it when it comes out if not a few months after. It's not one of my highly anticipated books of 2014, but it's definitely one of those books that I'll be picking up when it hits the stores! (:
