Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week I am
waiting on Enders by Lissa Price (1/7/14):
Description on
Goodreads:
With the Prime Destinations body bank destroyed, Callie no
longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get
inside her mind and make her do things she doesn't want to do. Like hurt someone
she loves. Having the chip removed could save Callie's life - but it could also
silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father. Callie has
flashes of her ex-renter Helena's memories, too ...and the Old Man is back,
filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body? This
is the thrilling sequel to "Starters".
Why I’m Waiting:
I had so much fun reading Starters. I loved the kind of Doll House-esque plotline. The idea
of a world where wealthy senior citizens can take over young people’s bodies is
just kind of terrifying. My eyes were glued to that story. Unfortunately, the
publisher never does seem able to get a good cover working for these books. The
first cover was terrible and reminiscent of a middle grade/Goosebump type book.
And this second cover looks like it’s on drugs. I will not let the weird covers
stop me from enjoying the story. It’s just kind of a shame to think about all
the young people who wont get to see how awesome this story is because they won’t
want to pick up such a badly covered book. Oh well. Also, why is it taking so
long to come out? I read book one like two years ago (probably as an ARC but
still). Come on 2014!
What are you waiting on this week?
I haven't read Starters yet. I did watch Doll House and enjoyed it. Sounds like one I need to check out!
