Waiting on Wednesdays #Meme

For the past month I have been desperately seeking a Wednesday meme! Ideally, I would love a meme every day that is book related so I never have a reason not to write, and search out other #meme participants to comment on their journals. You know – discover each other. Because of Twitter (@mint910) I found this cute little Wednesday #meme. (Oh yes, I speak twitter no matter where I am typing.)

Waiting on Wednesdays is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. In Waiting on Wednesdays, you are supposed to list and discuss a book you are waiting on that hasn’t been published yet. For me, this is pretty easy. Being in the book blogging world, you become pretty familiar with books before their publication. I have been hearing about Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick for a couple weeks now. It seems like everyone was reading it (well- except me). I must have missed that time period when the ARCS were be given out.

Hush, Hush is a young adult novel that is about 400 pages. Even though I am an adult, I still love reading young adult novels. Sometimes, in books that aren’t labeled as being “appropriate” for you, there are hidden themes in which adults can find something much more deep in the literature.  Hopefully Hush, Hush is like this. I haven’t read a lot of the reviews on Hush, Hush because I do not want a preconceived opinion on how the novel is going to be. Sometimes when a book is raved about by everyone, I find that I hype it up so high in my mind that when I read the books (i.e  the Twilight series) I am let down. So, the most I know about Hush, Hush – is that people are excited to read it, and everyone is talking about it. Good enough for me.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon)

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She’s never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can’t decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen – and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Release Date:  October 13th, 2009
