Waiting on Wednesday #59

Photobucket
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

My pick this week is:

#1


Title: Ink is Thicker Than Water
Genre: contemporary
Audience:  YA
Author: Amy Spalding
Release date: December 3rd, 2013
Publisher:  Entangled Teen

Summary:

For Kellie Brooks, family has always been a tough word to define. Combine her hippie mom and tattooist stepdad, her adopted overachieving sister, her younger half brother, and her tough-love dad, and average Kellie’s the one stuck in the middle, overlooked and impermanent. When Kellie’s sister finally meets her birth mother and her best friend starts hanging with a cooler crowd, the feeling only grows stronger.
But then she reconnects with Oliver, the sweet and sensitive college guy she had a near hookup with last year. Oliver is intense and attractive, and she’s sure he’s totally out of her league. But as she discovers that maybe intensity isn’t always a good thing, it’s yet another relationship she feels is spiraling out of her control.
It’ll take a new role on the school newspaper and a new job at her mom’s tattoo shop for Kellie to realize that defining herself both outside and within her family is what can finally allow her to feel permanent, just like a tattoo.

 Why I want to read it:

The cover looks pretty nice and I liked Amy Spalding's writing style with The Reece Malcolm List.

#2


Title: Taste of Darkness
Series: Healer #3
Genre: fantasy
Audience:  NA
Author: Maria V. Snyder
Release date: December 31st, 2013
Publisher:  Harlequin

Summary:

She's fought death and won. But how can she fight her fears?

Avry knows hardship and trouble. She fought the plague and survived. She took on King Tohon and defeated him. But now her heart-mate, Kerrick, is missing, and Avry fears he's gone forever.

But there's a more immediate theat. The Skeleton King plots to claim the Fifteen Realms for his own. With armies in disarray and the dead not staying down, Avry's healing powers are needed now more than ever.

Torn between love and loyalty, Avry must choose her path carefully. For the future of her world depends on her decision….

 Why I want to read it:

Because I've been waiting to see what happened with Kerrick for a whole year!!! I just need this book!

So how about you? What amazing book are you waiting on this week?

  15. INK IS THICKER THAN WATER looks interesting. And that may be because I like tattoos (even though I have none of my own, haha). Thanks for stopping by!
