Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted By Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly longing for and anticipating.
Title: Passenger
Author: Alexandra Bracken (!!!)
The author of The Darkest Minds series
Publication Date: January 5th 2016
I know this book is not going to be released for ages but it's Alexandra Bracken and she is the mastermind behind the Darkest Mind series!
There are some authors that have impressed you so much with their previous books that you just know you're going to run in to a bookstore and buy their next books ASAP (like Rick Riordan and Stephanie Perkins:)).
Etta sounds like a wonderful character! Whenever a character is described as being a musician or prodigy I always love to read scenes in which they play music (e.g. Kestrel's piano playing scene in Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski or Adam's lyrics in Where She Went by Gayle Forman) because you see another side of them- they just let go of everything and drown in their music.
This series is so different from the first but I know it has the potential to be just as great!
So that's my Waiting on Wednesday! What's yours?:)
Thanks for reading!

This book also has a time-travel element which is always fun to read because we get to see characters struggling to fit in with a completely new world;) Plus she arrives on a ship which means a perfectly dangerous and beautiful setting + Etta and Nicholas have to find clues and solve a puzzle which means we've got a mystery/ clue hunt on our hands!
Alexandra Bracken created a one-of-a-kind character with Liam in The Darkest Minds as he was genuinely sweet and someone I would love to know so I'm sure she'll create a character we love with Nicholas.  |
| How cute is Dug? |
So that's my Waiting on Wednesday! What's yours?:)
Thanks for reading!
HAHA Maya I love your gifs :') DUG IS THE CUTEST! And gotta love Patrick. :) <3 Yes, I am super excited for this book as well! Although I should probably read Brackens' The Darkest Minds trilogy first, but I've only heard lovely things about it so I can't wait! Thanks for sharing. :) xx
ReplyDeleteHaha AWWW gracias! I do love GIFS;) YES! Dug is sooooo adorable and I love him<3 Patrick is always great for a gif- he always knows how I feel:P Yay!- we can be excited together!:D I hope you love the Darkest Minds trilogy!<3 I think you'll fall head over heels for Liam!;) Thanks for coming by Riya!!:D
DeleteHave you ever read Brightly Woven, it's Alexandra Bracken's BEST BOOK EVER!
ReplyDeleteOn that note I am SO DESPERATE TO READ THIS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!! T.T
You can check out my WoW picks here
I haven't read Brightly Woven by her but WOW now I really want to because The Darkest Minds series was so good so I can't imagine how good it is!
DeleteHaha! I understand your need for this book!- I want so many unreleased books;)
Thanks for stopping by Jade!
YES MAYA!!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am for this book! Usually it's the cover that sells me on a book without having read the synopsis, but I don't even need this book to have a cover. I love it already:) I'm always looking for a good time travel story, and I absolutely cannot wait to meet Nicholas. <3
ReplyDeleteYAY! Your enthusiasm is completely adding to my excitement for this book!;) Even though we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it's hard not to notice a beautiful or intriguing cover every once in a while:P
DeleteI love it too! I haven't read enough time travel stories so I can't wait to go into one when I know the author is amazing!
I bet we'll love Nicholas<3
Thanks for stopping by Jenny!:D
You had me at time travel. Nothing else need be said. This one sounds so good and it's now on the TBR. I'll have to check out the author's other works though... maybe more for the pile.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW this week
Haha! Time travel sure is intriguing;)
DeleteYay! I'm glad it's gotten on your TBR:D
I hope you end up liking her other books- they were wonderful and fast paced and emotional!
Ah the ever-growing TBR pile:P
Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds interesting. I like how it sounds like a different take than some of the time travel romances. Thanks for sharing it and for coming by my blog. My WoW
ReplyDeleteIt sounds different from anything I've ever read before! And it was not what I was expecting from Alexandra Bracken but then I love when authors surprise us:)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
WOW you must love her a lot. I read the Darkest minds recently, it was pretty good, but the ending did not satisfy me…I wanted to cryyyyy so bad.
ReplyDeletewww.lite-rate-ture.com
Haha! There are some authors who I know won't disappoint;) The endings in that series were killer! I wanted to cry too!- so much:'(
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by Chyna!
Great choice. I've heard awesome things about the Darkest Minds series by her, so I'll have to pick this one up when it comes out. I hope you enjoy this one when it's released!
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Thanks! The Darkest Minds was definitely a great series so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:) And I didn't even know she had this book coming out but I love when authors who wrote books you adore start a new series because it's a whole new journey:)
DeleteThanks for stopping by Krystianna!
OMG I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND NOW I'M FLAILING MY HEAD OFF!!! I so so am adding this on goodreads. And violins?! I used to play violin!! *flails some more*
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
Haha! Tell me about it;) I hadn't heard of this till the day before I posted this and I was SO EXCITED and still am- I think I'll join you in FLAILING!:D
DeleteI wish I played a violin too! I bet there'll be some emotional and beautiful scenes with a violin in this one:)
Thanks for stopping by Cait!!
I hope that when you do read The Darkest Minds you'll love it! I know exactly how you feel- I have so many books I want to read and have heard the best things about yet I haven't picked them up yet:(
ReplyDeleteHaha! I haven't really tried much time travel fiction but I think I may just end up quite frazzled too;) Especially when they change something in the past and it affects the present and then it gets really complicated. But it just sounds so intriguing that I can't resist either:)
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, goodness! I have known about this book (duology? I believe) for a while, but I hadn't yet seen the synopsis! I haven't read the Darkest Minds trilogy yet, but it's on my TBR for the year and I've heard so many good things about it. But THIS, this sounds just up my alley. Since I was a music education major in high school and I'm trying to find a music teacher job, the music aspect sounds so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this. And it doesn't hurt that Sarah J. Maas has been reading it and freaking out on Twitter, as well as publicly swooning over Nicholas. Can't wait!
Danielle
I had no idea this book or duology existed so it was a great surprise! I really loved The Darkest Minds so I think that Alexandra Bracken will carry out this book beautifully too! Maybe you can start with this once then;) The music aspect sounds perfect for you (I think you'll like the music scenes in The Winner's Curse too:))!- Very cool major by the way:) I am useless with musical instuments:(
DeleteSarah J Maas loves this!?:D I think I just got ten times more excited for this! Wooow I can't wait to read about Nicholas;)
Thank you so much for stopping by!:)
Definitely excited for this one, too! I've somehow never read one of Bracken's books!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this one to come out!:) It took me awhile to get my hands on one of her books too but hopefully when you pick one up you'll adore it!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Ugh, I want this book toooo Maya. Alexandra Bracken is super pretty in real life...hahaha. She's a real lady.
ReplyDeleteIt feels so far away Axie but I can't wait! Haha! - she is really pretty and she sure is talented (I wish I could write like her!);) It's always nice when an author is someone you can look up to or someone who seems like they could be a friend to fangirl over books with!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!:)
I still haven't read the Darkest Minds... Shame on me!! But the Passenger definitely sounds cool, I hope you get it as soon as it's published (or even better, an ARC of it!) Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteIt always takes me forever to finally read a few books so I know how you feel;) I hope that when you pick it up you end up enjoying it!
DeleteI would love to get it as soon as its published (or if I got any ARC I'd by skipping in meadows and twirling around rainbows!;))!
Thanks for stopping by Sofia!:)
I LOOOVED the first two books in the Darkest minds series, though I still have to read the last one. What I am Waiting FOR?!??!?!?!
ReplyDeleteBut anywho. This book? I'm diyng to read it. There's gonna be lots of history in it and time freaking travel. Who wouldn't love it?!??! *-*
