{Weekly Craving} April 2013 #3


Weekly Craving is a meme I made myself 
to show you new releases on my to-be-read list.




Furious by Jill Wolfson
Release Date: 04/16/2013
Publisher: Henry Holt
Three high school girls become the avenging Furies of Greek legend. We were only three angry girls, to begin with. Alix, the hot-tempered surfer chick; Stephanie, the tree-hugging activist; and me, Meg, the quiet foster kid, the one who never quite fit in. We hardly knew each other, but each of us nurtured a burning anger: at the jerks in our class, at our disappointing parents, at the whole flawed, unjust world. We were only three angry girls, simmering uselessly in our ocean-side California town, until one day a mysterious, beautiful classmate named Ambrosia taught us what else we could be: Powerful. Deadly. Furious.


Taken by Erin Bowman
Release Date: 04/16/2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
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?
In case you didn't notice, I made a new banner! Yay! I didn't want to wait so I just made one myself. Turned out better than I thought it would :) The book I'm most excited for is definitely Taken!

  1. I'm actually really looking forward to Furious and Taken. They both seem like such cool topics. I love mythology so furies are just up my ally.

    The banner looks great!

  2. I haven't heard of the other books, but Taken was a serious miss for me and I quit about halfway through because of it's boringness, so I hope you have much better luck than me.

    Thanks for sharing!
