Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spines. Here's what I'm itching for lately:
Survive

Expected publication: August 2nd 2012 by Razorbill
Hatchet meets Lost in this modern-day adventure tale of one girl's reawakening
Jane is on a plane on her way home to Montclair, New Jersey, from a mental hospital. She is about to kill herself. Just before she can swallow a lethal dose of pills, the plane hits turbulence and everything goes black. Jane wakes up amidst piles of wreckage and charred bodies on a snowy mountaintop. There is only one other survivor: a boy named Paul, who inspires Jane to want to fight for her life for the first time.
Jane and Paul scale icy slopes and huddle together for warmth at night, forging an intense emotional bond. But the wilderness is a vast and lethal force, and only one of them will survive.
This one seems really intriguing and I love the premise on which it's focused. Who doesn't like a story about surviving on a isolated mountain. It's just interesting how before crashing the main character actually wanted to kill herself, but is now fighting to stay alive.
What's your WoW pick?
Nice pick. I love a good survival story. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick! I loved Hatchet and I really miss LOST. :P I just added this to my TBR. It kinda has a This is Not a Test vibe going with that whole "she's ready to die but fights to survive thing".

Survive's cover looks amazing, right? :) It sounds amazing and a story of a girl wanting to die but then a boy causing her to want to fight again IS really interesting... :)
