Wishlist Wednesday is a meme hosted by Pen to Paper where bloggers can show every Wednesday what book they are lusting over wanting that is on their TBR list.
Title: The 5th Wave
Author: Rick Yancey
Publication date: Math 7, 2013
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
Why I want:
This one is actually out already, which is unlike the books I usually put on Wishlist Wednesday. However, I haven't heard one bad review for it. Hearing all good reviews make me excited, but also nervous because that's a lot of expectations to put on one book. Whenever someone talks about it, they say how it's the next "big thing." Can I have this in my hands already please?
What are you wishing for this Wednesday? ...although most of you are probably at BEA and are getting those things RIGHT NOW *grumble*
I want to read this book so bad too. I have it on my kindle but, i have some ARC's to read first. I hope you get it soon!

Oh, I hope you like it then!
DeleteI just read The 5th Wave this past week -- and loved it!!! I hadn't heard much ahead of time so didn't have the problem of big expectations, but I'd say it really should be the next big thing. Amazing book, and I still haven't stopped thinking about it! (I loved it so much that my WW book is another by the same author). I hope you get it soon.

Yay, I'm so happy you did! Oh my goodness, I'm even more excited now.
DeleteI'm grumbling right there with you, Sunny. :P I really, really, REALLY hope you're not disappointed with The 5th Wave...it's one of my favorite reads this year. I read it before I read very many reviews, so my opinion is wholly my own...no outside influences. :) I'm definitely going to check out others by this author now. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have a grumbling party!
Delete*grumbles with you about BEA* SOMEDAY.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have given this book two glances usually, but all the praise interests me. I hope you love it as much as everyone else seems to and they hype doesn't ruin things for you as it so often is able to do.
SOMEDAY YES! We shall be roommates too.
DeleteI probably wouldn't either (I know I'm generalizing and it's bad, but I saw the guy being an author and I turned up my nose even though John Green writes amazingly).
This one looks great, Sunny! Awesome pick. (:
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan :)
DeleteSunny you still have to read The 5th Wave?? Seriously you need to get onto this book straight away! Everyone I know including me absolutely loved this and I have a feeling that you will too! :)
ReplyDeleteI KNOW I KNOW! I need to, my hands are twitching at the thought of it.
DeleteI just finished the audio, and I have to agree... It was amazing. I would definitely recommend the audio if you like them. The narrators were fab, and of course the story was amazing. I hope you're not disappointed! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, yay!
DeleteThis is such a great choice, Sunny! Although, I hope with all the hype you aren't disappointed. Sometimes that happens, but I really loved this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI do need to be careful of hype, but I'm very happy that you loved this one since I trust you!
DeleteI really liked this one! I didn't love it enough to give it 5 stars though, but I do think it's a brilliant read. I hope you can get your hands on it soon! :)
ReplyDeleteReeeeeeeaaaaaaddddd itttttttt. That is all.
ReplyDeleteHaha!
