Hi guys! Sorry it's been so quiet around here lately. One word for you to explain that: MIDTERMS. Yuck, right?
But! I can now share with you the recently revealed cover and synopsis for THE TAKING, an upcoming book from one of my favorites, Kimberly Derting.
A flash of white light . . . and then . . . nothing.
When sixteen-year-old Kyra Agnew wakes up behind a Dumpster at the Gas ’n’ Sip, she has no memory of how she got there. With a terrible headache and a major case of déjà vu, she heads home only to discover that five years have passed . . . yet she hasn’t aged a day.
Everything else about Kyra’s old life is different. Her parents are divorced, her boyfriend, Austin, is in college and dating her best friend, and her dad has changed from an uptight neat-freak to a drunken conspiracy theorist who blames her five-year disappearance on little green men.
Confused and lost, Kyra isn’t sure how to move forward unless she uncovers the truth. With Austin gone, she turns to Tyler, Austin’s annoying kid brother, who is now seventeen and who she has a sudden undeniable attraction to. As Tyler and Kyra retrace her steps from the fateful night of her disappearance, they discover strange phenomena that no one can explain, and they begin to wonder if Kyra’s father is not as crazy as he seems. There are others like her who have been taken . . . and returned. Kyra races to find an explanation and reclaim the life she once had, but what if the life she wants back is not her own?
Sounds awesome, right?! Can't wait for this one. So I guess we can call this one this week's Waiting on Wednesday (on Thursday)? Anyway, super pumped. Look for this one April 29!

Allegiant: Dual-Perspective!
According to tweets from publishers and various ComicCon attendees (one day... oh, one day I will be one of those lucky attendees), the final Divergent book, Allegiant, will be told from two perspectives, with both Tris and Four getting the chance to narrate.
I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, sweet, we get to see Four's side of things! On the other hand, though, I've really enjoyed Tris's narration, and as much as I love first-person narrative, I often have a hard time with books that switch between different first-person narrators. (Whew, too many words with the "narrate" root in that sentence.) But I mean, if anyone can pull it off, I'm confident Veronica Roth can.
