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 Afterworlds by Scott
Westerfeld (9/23/14):
Description on Goodreads:
Darcy Patel has put college and everything else on hold to
publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. Arriving in New York with no apartment or
friends she wonders whether she's made the right decision until she falls in
with a crowd of other seasoned and fledgling writers who take her under their
wings… Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, a suspenseful thriller
about Lizzie, a teen who slips into the 'Afterworld' to survive a terrorist
attack. But the Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead and as
Lizzie drifts between our world and that of the Afterworld, she discovers that
many unsolved - and terrifying - stories need to be reconciled. And when a new
threat resurfaces, Lizzie learns her special gifts may not be enough to protect
those she loves and cares about most.
Why I’m Waiting:
Westerfeld is one of those authors I like to refer to as
trump authors. All I need to see is his name on a book, and I will buy it. I
will mostly likely enjoy it. And I will definitely want to own it. Mix that
with a story of a young girl writing a YA novel, and well you have a recipe for
awesome. And certainly a main character I can relate to. What an interesting
concept for a book. Also, it’s about time he came out with another book!
What are you waiting on this week?
