"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
Expected Release Date: August 7th 2012
On the surface, there’s nothing remarkable about Anna Rogan: She gets average grades, she’s not especially fashionable, she spends most of her time just hanging out with her best friend Rei. But Anna does have a remarkable secret: she has the ability to do astral projection. She uses her out-of-body experiences to explore the universe, until one day when there’s an accident at school and her classmate Taylor gets into her body. Now Taylor’s using her new identity to accuse an innocent boy of murder and she shows no signs of leaving Anna’s body. The only person who knows Anna’s secret is Rei, and as her feelings for Rei grow she must face a future where they can never touch...unless they can find a way to get Taylor out of Anna’s body, stop the murder trial, and discover the true nature of Anna’s power.
Right, so usually I don't like books where the main girl falls for her best friend :S (Don't ask me why; I just tend to avoid those books) BUT the whole 'getting into someone else's body' part has convinced me to read it! PLUS there's murder involved! I have this obsession with reading about murder trials :/ (Blame Jodi Picoult!)
What are you waiting on this week?
Ooo!!! Such a pretty cover!!! And the summary sounds very intriguing!!!! I must now run and add this to my TBR!!! Great pick, Shirley! Thanks for making me add another book to my endless TBR!!!!! ;P
ReplyDeletehehee, my pleasure Celine :D Your growing TBR pile will keep you busy until Golden Lily comes out!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds really interesting and the cover is really pretty as well. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I actually love the books where the girl falls for her best friends--theirs just so much history there, I find it kind of irresistible! I'm definitely looking forward to this one, too---such a stunning cover!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, thank you so much! 5 months until The Golden Lily. I must hide Bloodlines somewhere hidden to make sure I don't get tempted to start reading it. Muahahaha! By the way, do you know if the author has written another book before? I'm pretty sure I've heard of her somewhere! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Pick, sounds like a wonderfull book

ASTRAL PROJECTION. I have ALWAYS been fascinated by that, so to see it in a YA book? BRODIE EXCITED. And I like when the girl falls for her best friend IF it's done right.... hopefully this will be the case :) And muuuurrrrrder.... haha you know how to tempt a girl, Shirley. Cannot flipping wait for this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Love the cover. Great pick!

Is it wrong to admit I want this one just because of the gorgeous cover? It's SO. PRETTY.
ReplyDeleteOh, but can I say? Girl falling for best friend? It just seems kind of obvious and hackneyed... and I'm always a little dubious that she's irgnored him for a decade, and suddenly notices that he has boy parts...
