Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spines. This is a cool way to spotlight a upcoming release that you're anxious about, as well as checking out what other book lovers are anticipating as well. So, check out my WoW for this week:
Atlantiaby Ally Condie
Release date: November 4th 2014
Publisher: Dutton
Synopsis via Goodreads:
A standalone YA novel.
"In Atlantia, the heroine, Rio, is thrown into a precarious and upsetting situation after her twin sister, Bay, opts to leave their underwater world for "Above" first.
Since only family member can leave for the surface, Rio is then, as PYRG executive director of publicity Shanta Newlin explained, 'left with increasingly dangerous questions about the complex political and religious system constructed to govern the fragile divide between land and sea.'" -Publishers Weekly

DeleteOooooh, I like the sound of this. And I'm not a huge fan of series, I much prefer a standalone. This sounds like one I'll be checking out for sure! Great pick, Shane! And thanks for stopping by!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by as well, Lisa :)
DeleteI haven't read her Matched series too but this sounds really intriguing. Is it a play to the fabled lost city of Atlantis? Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my WoW :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW pick :)
It sounds like it that's why i'm curious too. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOhh I haven't seen this one before. I think I have Matched somewhere around in my house but I never read it ): but this one sounds more like my kind of read (: I love stories about siblings, especially twins <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Lol me too. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteOh wow! I haven't heard of this one before. The is the second mermaid (I'm assuming they are mermaids) book that I am now anticipating this year. The other one is Deep Blue :) I'm super intrigued and excited to read about a new setting. (underwater) COOL PICK!!!
ReplyDeleteCome by and check out my W.o.W @Book Hangovers

I think so too. Thanks for stopping by, Jess :)
DeleteIt sounds interesting. I too like that it's a different dystopian setting. Here's My WoW
ReplyDeleteHmm... I've yet to finish Matched, but I didn't really like that one. Atlantia on the other hand... :D
ReplyDelete~Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
I really liked Matched, although the sequels weren't as good in my opinion, but this one sounds very interesting and I love that it is a standalone!! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover and the story sounds interesting. thanks for sharing.

Nice pick! And it's not too often you see YA standalones. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my tbr and I can't wait!! Great choice! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Tressa's Wishful Endings
Atlantia does have a lovely cover and the snippet from PW is intriguing, but I worry about a potential love triangle? I believe Matched has one. I'll wait to see what early reviewers have to say, but if there's any indication of a love t, I'll have to skip it. Though this does sound more politically driven, and if the focus is on that and strong family relationships, I'll pick it up! Thanks for introducing me to the title! I'll keep an eye out for updates. :)
