Waiting on Wednesday (114)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

My picks this week are:

In Too Deep by Amanda Grace
I never meant for anyone to get hurt. All I wanted to do that night was make a play for Carter Davis. His heartless rejection was mortifying, but people got the wrong idea when they saw me leaving his bedroom, crying. That’s how rumors of rape started.

Now girls at school are pouring out their sympathy to me. Guys too. But not everyone’s on my side. The school has become a war zone and the threats are getting scary. What began as poetic justice has morphed into something bigger—forcing me to make a terrible choice.
I loved But I Love Him, which was also by Amanda Grace (aka Mandy Hubbard). It was edgy and dark but really good, and I have a feeling this one will be the same. Seriously can't wait!

In Too Deep will be published February 8, 2012. 


Chopsticks by 
Rodrigo Corral 
& Jessica Anthony

Glory is a young piano prodigy. Frank is the boy who moves in next door. Over the years, their friendship blossoms into an undeniable romance. As Glory descends from stunning piano prodigy into a kind of madness, Frank's love becomes more and more unshakable. They both become hopelessly fixated on the song "Chopsticks". 

Part love story, part mystery, part visual collage, this novel is told through images as much as it's told through words. Ultimately the reader must decipher what is real, what is imagined, and what has been madness all along. 

Richly imagined by author Jessica Anthony and hauntingly designed by Rodrigo Corral, Chopsticks will rivet teens and adults alike on numerous platforms, including a gorgeous book and paid app for the iPhone and iPad, with many additional features.
This one sounds like the has the potential to be really good as well as different. It will be interesting to see how the whole visual collage occurs, and the phone app sounds cool as well! The cover's a bit ordinary but pretty nonetheless.

Chopsticks will be released February 2, 2012! 


Are you looking forward to either or both of those? More importantly, what book are you waiting on this Wednesday? Let me know in the comments, and feel free to link to your WOW post! :)
