Waiting On Wednesday (50) Taken (Taken #1) by Erin Bowman


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

My choice for this week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:



Hardcover, 352 pages
Expected publication: April 16th 2013 by HarperTeen

Synopsis From Goodreads:

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends...and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

Doesn't this sound absolutely awesome? It seems as though I have had this on my tbr forever, and I still have soooo long to wait before it comes out.

What are you waiting on this week?

    I featured this as my WoW post a few weeks a go - I just love the cover and any blurb that includes telekinesis is one that's going to grab my attention!

    Thanks for stopping by my WoW of Truth or Dare!
