Waiting on Wednesday - Small Town Sinners By: Melissa Walker + Ashes, Ashes By: Jo Treggiari (61)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is an event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. The purpose of this weekly event is to spotlight a soon-to-be-released book that you are very much anticipating. "Waiting On" Wednesday will also give bloggers an opportunity to share ideas for our TBR lists.


Title: Small Town Sinners
Author: Melissa Walker
Publisher: Bloomsbury, 259 Pages (July 19th 2011)
Preorder here: Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble,
The Book Depository

Synopsis: The story of Lacey Anne Byers, a small town girl who is excited to star in Hell House, her church's annual haunted house of sin, until a childhood friend reappears and makes her question her faith.


Title: Ashes, Ashes
Author: Jo Treggiari
Publisher: Scholastic, 352 Pages (June 1st 2011)
Preorder here: Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble,
The Book Depository

Synopsis: A thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and one girl's unyielding courage through the darkest of nightmares.


Epidemics, floods, droughts--for sixteen-year-old Lucy, the end of the world came and went, taking 99% of the population with it. As the weather continues to rage out of control, and Sweepers clean the streets of plague victims, Lucy survives alone in the wilds of Central Park. But when she's rescued from a pack of hunting dogs by a mysterious boy named Aidan, she reluctantly realizes she can't continue on her own. She joins his band of survivors, yet, a new danger awaits her: the Sweepers are looking for her. There's something special about Lucy, and they will stop at nothing to have her.

Both of these titles sounds great. While Small Town Sinner isn't something I'd usual read, but it just sounds really interesting and I really love the cover. Then we have Ashes, Ashes, which for me sounds like a must read Dystopian. Two great books to look forward to this week, very different from each other. Anyone else looking forward to either or both?
