Waiting on Wednesday: The Winner's Curse



The Winners Curse by Marie Rutkoski

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love 
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. 
One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. 
But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined. 
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.(Goodreads Summary)


Why I'm Waiting: Have you seen the gorgeous cover? Have you read the amazing summary? If the answer to those two questions is yes, then you probably know why I am waiting for this one. I have seen it on so many other blogs and have had my eye on it for so long now. The closer it gets to release day, the more I want it.

Waiting On Wednesday: Maybe Someday

'Waiting On Wednesday' is a weekly meme that is hosted over at Breaking The Spine, and is a way to show off a book that you are eagerly anticipating.

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance—and the enchanting music that inspires one young woman to put her life back together.
Maybe Someday
At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.
Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…
From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Slammed, Point of Retreat, Hopeless, This Girl, and Losing Hope, Maybe Someday is destined to become another bestseller and long-lasting fan favorite.

It's thanks to this weeks Top Ten Tuesday that I even know this is coming out. I really enjoyed Colleen Hoovers Slammed series, I thought Slammed was one of the best romance novels that I had read. That's high praise coming from me as I am not the biggest fan of purely romance storylines. I have heard amazing things about her other series Hopeless and have bought both on the Kindle to read. I am very excited that she now has a new book coming out, especially with a cover that I really love.

This is from ShouldBeReading and is simple to take part in. All you need to do is answer the following three questions:

  • What are you currently reading?
  • What did you recently finished reading?
  • What do you think you'll read next?


Currently Reading:

Champion (Legend, #3)Champion by Marie Lu (Legend #3)

I reread the first two books before getting to this because I was scared to read it. Now I am halfway through and absolutely loving it. It feels very different from the first two books, but in the best possible way. I also really love that so many questions that were just left completely unanswered or weren't acknowledged in the first two book are finally being answered and in great, amazing detail. Can't wait to have time to sit down and finish it. 

Recently Finished:

Prodigy (Legend, #2)

Prodigy by Marie Lu (Legend #2)

I reread this before I started Champion and I really enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed Prodigy more than Legend, it had all the fast-paced action of the first but gave more time to character development and let you get to know the characters better. You can find my review here.


What I Plan To Read Next:

Control (Control, #1)

Control by Lydia Kang

I need to get to this because I have the arc and it's coming out soon so I want to get the review up on the blog. I was really excited when I got accepted for this one as it sounds really great. Hopefully it's an enjoyable read, the summary for it suggested it was like Uglies - a series I really enjoyed.
