Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...
Author: Cat Patrick
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Published: June 7, 2011
Pages: 304
Genre: YA, Mystery
Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.
Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery, this thought-provoking novel will inspire readers to consider the what-if's in their own lives and recognize the power they have to control their destinies.
To be honest, I still don't entirely get what Forgotten is about, but the premise is still really intriguing and the cover is to die for. Seriously. I might die. The thought of waking up and not remembering a thing from the day before is endlessly enticing - though it would probably drive me nuts mad if it was actually happening to me. I'm trying to read more contemps this year, as well, so this sort of fits the bill - hey, it's not paranormal! Plus, I have a thing for mysteries. It will be interesting to see if this keeps me on the edge of my seat! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
I found this one yesterday!! I cant wait to read it, sounds right up my alley...;)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this book until now ... Thank you so much Melissa, because I love this cover !! Awesome pick ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat book! I am totally adding it to me tbr pile.
ReplyDeleteLol, I don't completely understand what it's about either, but it does sound interesting. I love the splashes of red in the cover!
ReplyDeleteLOL "seriously, I might die!" LOVE this cover and would totally pick it up for that reason alone haha.
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhh good pick Melissa! This one sounds like a must read even if it's a little vague on the details:) Part romance and part mystery is enough for me!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so interesting! I would hate not remembering anything the day before, but it should be fun reading about it. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence about this one because, like you said, I'm not really sure what to expect. I think I like what I hear. I'll probably wait until some reviews start popping up before deciding.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer the cover you posted. I love the swirling red.
This sounds good. I think today was the first time I'd heard of it :)
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! But I'm not entirely sure what it's about, either. That summary is waaaaay jumbled.
ReplyDeleteI don't quite get it either, but I'm hooked! And yes, that cover is to die for!!
ReplyDeleteOooh! I saw this on goodreads a few weeks ago, but it didn't have that awesome cover! I love it! Nice pick =)
ReplyDeleteThis kind of sounds a bit like the movie Memento, which I LOVED, definitely going to have to check it out! Thanks for the great pick!
ReplyDeleteooh, this one sounds chilling! great pick, melissa, i hadn't seen it before!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this... at all. Lol. BUT I still want it, if for nothing more to be able to say, "I finally get it." But ack, the wait!
ReplyDeleteThats a very interesting book. The story line is actually good and the cover is beautiful. :D
ReplyDeleteMy WoW post
here's mine http://tributebooksmama.blogspot.com/2011/01/waiting-on-wednesday.html
ReplyDeleteSounds trippy. Which could be a good thing. I'd be interested in seeing some early reviews for this one.
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my list for my new feature! Even with it's kind of vague description, I'm more than intrigued. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree... much cover love there! :)
ReplyDeleteI've got this one on my wishlist and really, really want to read it!
ReplyDeleteThat cover is gorgeous! Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery sounds intriuging.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my recent WoWs...doesn't it sound fabulous? I know, I don't entirely get what it's about either but I kind of like having that mystery surrounding the story...
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds AMAZING! And I love the cover! So, thanks for bringing this book to my attention. :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably get it just for the cover. Because it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound a bit interesting though.
Just added this to my TBR list! This one sounds SO good. Like you said, it sounds a little confusing, but I'm totally intrigued now.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI glanced at this book once and couldn't recall the title so I could look it up again. Now, I know. You're the bestest!! =)
I love the cover! I need this book in my bookshelf!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just saw her website and the cover is different but pretty ^^
ReplyDeleteHOLY GORGEOUS COVER! Seriously, it is so pretty. This book sort of reminds me of the movie 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler. Funny, but tragic at the same time.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! That cover is super pretty, and the synopsis makes me want to read it just to see what’s up.
ReplyDeleteThis summary reminds me of 50 First Dates too, but with a more serious side I expect. I love this kind of quirky premise, so I'll look out for this one. Thanks for posting about it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it sounded like a darker Fifty First Dates as well. The cover is so pretty. Is she asleep among poppies? Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
