Title: The Fox Inheritance
Author: Mary E. Pearson
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
Date of Release: August 30, 2011
Goodreads Description: Once there were three. Three friends who loved each other - Jenna, Locke, and Kara. And after a terrible accident destroyed their bodies, their three minds were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Even in that disembodied nightmare, they were still together. At least at first. When Jenna disappeared, Locke and Kara had to go on without her. Decades passed, and then centuries. Two-hundred-and-sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead. Everyone except Jenna Fox.

Why am I waiting? I loved The Adoration of Jenna Fox - it's one of those books that you have to read - so I'm looking forward to learning more about Locke and Kara now and seeing how they deal with waking up two hundred and sixty years later.
Title: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
Author: Michelle Hodkin
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Date of Release: September 27, 2011
Goodreads Description: Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong.
Why am I waiting? Besides the awesome cover, the premise sounds really intriguing and actually kind of reminds me of The Adoration of Jenna Fox.
Wonderful picks! I've got Mara Dyer waiting to read. Fox Inheritance sounds interesting though I have yet to read the first title. Hope you're having an excellent week =) Thank you for stopping by my W.O.W
ReplyDeleteI just got The Adoration of Jenna Fox from Amazon's bargain book bin. Can't wait to read it. Book 2 sounds just as good.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, I have not read a bad review for The Unbecoming yet!
Great Choices!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of The Fox Inheritance, but I will be looking into it now!
I can't wait till Mara is released, I was lucky enough to read an ARC, and I'll let you in on a secret, I'm having a giveaway for a pre-order copy that will go up this weekend!

ReplyDeleteI have yet to read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, but I've heard nothing but good things about it! I must get on that soon. And I am SO excited for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer!

I'm looking forward to The Fox Inheritance, but I'm also really scared to read it. I loved Jenna Fox so, so much and I've heard the sequel doesn't live up to the awesomeness. I almost don't want to taint my experience.
ReplyDeleteSaw you were "waiting on" The Fox Inheritance. We have it up for giveaway on our blog!
