“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom.
We lived in the gaps between the stories.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Waiting On Wednesday – 1
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted by book blogger Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Today I’ve chosen Darkness Before Dawn by J.A. London (Expected publication: May 29th 2012 by HarperTeen)
From Goodreads:
“This electrifying new trilogy blends the best of paranormal and dystopian storytelling in a world where the war is over. And the vampires won.
Humans huddle in their walled cities, supplying blood in exchange for safety. But not even that is guaranteed. Dawn has lost her entire family and now reluctantly serves as the delegate to Lord Valentine, the most powerful vampire for miles. It isn’t until she meets Victor, Valentine’s son, that she realizes not all vampires are monsters….
Darkness Before Dawn is a fresh new story with captivating characters, unexpected plot twists, a fascinating setting, and a compelling voice. Written under the name J. A. London by a talented mother-son team, the trilogy is perfect for fans of True Blood and the House of Night and Morganville Vampires series.”
Does this sound awesome or what?
Book of the Week – 2
This week I’m reading Fever (the second book in The Chemical Garden Trilogy) by Lauren DeStefano. I loved the first installment in the series and I was very excited to get my hands on the second one. It is a Dystopian novel with a wonderful sense of setting and a great plot. I recommend it!
What are you reading this week?
