“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted by book blogger Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week I’m waiting on TAKEN by Erin Bowman (expected publication: April 16th 2013 by HarperTeen). This a YA Dystopian novel and a 2013 debut. I’m excited about this release for 3 reasons:
– it’s a YA dystopian novel and I usually love those.
– have you seen this cover??!
– Erin Bowman has a great blog that you should check out. I can’t wait to finally read her book.
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?
What do you think? Is this book on your TBR list?
And what are you waiting on this week?

Hey, you found a dystopian novel with a male lead. Definitely sign me up.
Sounds good – in the vein of ‘The Island’ and ‘Logan’s Run’, but YA. Another to add to the list of “I can’t wait to see how that pans out”!
I love the cover for this and as a massive YA dystopian an I know this is one that I NEED to read, great pick!
