Waiting on Wednesday (14)

-
Waiting on Wednesday is a daily meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.  It highlights what newly released books us bloggers are most excited to read. 
Title: There Once Were Stars
Author: Melanie McFarlane
Synopsis (via Goodreads): Peace. Love. Order. Dome. That’s the motto that the Order has given the residents of Dome 1618 to live by. Natalia Greyes is a resident of Dome 1618, a covered city protected from the deadly radiation that has poisoned the world outside for four generations. Nat never questioned the Order, until one day she sees a stranger on the outside of the dome. Now Nat wants answers. Is there life outside the dome and if so, what has the Order been hiding from everyone?
My Thoughts: I need a cover ASAP.  The first thing that gets my attention when it comes to books is the cover, then I have to read the little blurb.  Obviously this time was a little different... This synopsis gives sets the expectation bar pretty high, so I hope the cover is just as intriguing. 

What are you waiting on this week?

    I haven't read a dystopian in so long, but this one sounds intriguing!

    This sounds like a book I could read for my 2016 Dystopia Reading Challenge :)

    I'm still desperately waiting on 'The Last Star' by Rick Yancey - it's the third installment of the 5th wave series.

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly post that highlights books we are excited to read hosted by Jill from Breaking The Spine. Title: Take A Bow   Author:  Elizabeth Eulberg Synopsis: From the fantastic author of The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice comes a story of all the drama and comedy of four friends who grow into themselves at a performing arts high school. Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates. Carter has been acting since he was a baby, and isn't sure how to admit

Stacking the Shelves (9)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .  It's all about sharing books you've added to your shelves be it physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a  physical store, or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks. This week, I've added five books to my shelf! The first two books were given to me by a coworker after she saw how much I read during my lunch break!  Both are more outside of my typical realm of books, so I'm excited to give them a try!  The last three I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  The Home Front was released on January 26, 2021,  Playing with Fire was released on January 19, 2021 and The Woman with the Blue Star is set to be released in May 2021.
