Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly
meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where book bloggers devote a post to
an upcoming book release they are particularly looking forward to reading.
Glitch (Glitch #1)
In
the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have
wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a
feed from the Link network. When Zoe starts to malfunction (or
"glitch"), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and
identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has
a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her
glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers. As Zoe struggles to
control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max,
who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future.
Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves
from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and
deactivated, or worse. In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an
exciting new young adult trilogy.

Why these books?
If you throw any dysopian books at me, I'll probably enjoy it. Glitch sounds very cool and I cannot wait for it!
And as for Dan's book...well, what is there not to love? Dan himself is hilarious, one of the coolest dude ever! Love him, even though he might know that. :P
And as for Undeadly, I kind of have to confess that academy books are like a secret pleasure for me. :3 Heehee.
But if I have to pick one book from my list that I want first....ummm...gotta go with False Memory. <3
Don't forget to vote for me in the Harper Collins Canada Bookshelf Makeover: Vote :) You can vote every single day. <3
All three of those books look really good. I cannot wait for them to come out. Great picks and thanks for sharing! :)
