WAITING ON WEDNESDAY: #1 - The Pledge by Kimberly Derting

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating! 

This week my selection is: THE PLEDGE by Kimberly Derting
Expected Publication Date: November 15, 2011

From Goodreads: In the violent country of Ludania, the classes are strictly divided by the language they speak. The smallest transgression, like looking a member of a higher class in the eye while they are speaking their native tongue, results in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina has always been able to understand the languages of all classes, and she’s spent her life trying to hide her secret. The only place she can really be free is the drug-fueled underground clubs where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in. It's there that she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy named Max who speaks a language she's never heard before . . . and her secret is almost exposed.

Charlie is intensely attracted to Max, even though she can’t be sure where his real loyalties lie. As the emergency drills give way to real crisis and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key to something much bigger: her country’s only chance for freedom from the terrible power of a deadly regime.

What are you eagerly anticipating?

  9. @Kat - You're probably seeing it everywhere because it's a fantasy/dystopian and they're so popular right now! But you should definitely add it to your tbr list! I can't wait till it comes out in November!

    @Jan von Harz - I LOVED The Body Finder as well and I just got Desires of the Dead so I'm hoping that will keep me occupied until I can get my hands on The Pledge!

    @Carina - I'm so glad! And it definitely does sound amazing ;)

    @Elodie - I know exactly what you mean. It actually took me a bit to get into The Body Finder but I find the premise of The Pledge so interesting I can't wait for it to come out! And you're right, the cover is pretty amazing!

    @Leanna - I'm reading Desires of the Dead right now so I'm super excited for book #3 as well!

    @Jessica - Me too! ;)

    @Sonny - Well thank you so much for continuing to follow me! I wish I knew what was wrong with it so I could fix it:(

    @Semisweet - I have to admit... I always look at the cover first! It's a really bad habit and one I'm trying to break but it's so hard when you see a pretty cover!
