Waiting on Wednesday: Confess & Of Dreams and Rust





"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's WoW selections are...








's Pick:




Title: Confess
Author: Colleen Hoover
Series: n/a
Publisher: Atria Books
Publication Date: March 10th, 2015

Add to Goodreads
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.

Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

If it's a Colleen Hoover book, then I'm guaranteed to be waiting for it. Not just on Wednesdays. On every other day of the week too! And it's funny, because I'll read the descriptions and think, "meh", but then I pick up the book and it sucks me right in. I will for sure be grabbing this one as soon as it comes out. :)

And I just love this cover. I didn't notice it as first, but there is a girl in the lettering. So cool.





's Pick:





Title: Of Dreams and Rust
Author: Sarah Fine
Series: Of Metal and Wishes, book #2
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Publication Date: August 4, 2015

Add to Goodreads
War erupts in this bittersweet sequel to Of Metal and Wishes, inspired by The Phantom of the Opera and called “relentlessly engrossing” by The Romantic Times.

In the year since the collapse of the slaughterhouse where Wen worked as her father’s medical assistant, she’s held all her secrets close. She works in the clinic at the weapons factory and sneaks away to nurse Bo, once the Ghost, now a boy determined to transform himself into a living machine. Their strange, fragile friendship soothes some of the ache of missing Melik, the strong-willed Noor who walked away from Wen all those months ago—but it can’t quell her fears for him.

The Noor are waging a rebellion in the west. When she overhears plans to crush Melik’s people with the powerful war machines created at the factory, Wen makes the painful decision to leave behind all she has known—including Bo—to warn them. But the farther she journeys into the warzone, the more confusing things become. A year of brutality seems to have changed Melik, and Wen has a decision to make about him and his people: How much is she willing to sacrifice to save them from complete annihilation?
I know, I know...I'm featuring a book with a release date almost a year away?!? But I got to help Sarah Fine reveal the cover for this sequel last week, and ever since I first saw it, I've been unable to stop thinking about it. I covet this book like no other! Of course, the cover is gorgeous and just as stunning -- if not more so -- than the first book in this duology, but it's what's between the covers that I'm particularly interested in. Especially after reading that summary! My heart hurts just thinking about it!


What are you desperately waiting for this Wednesday? Let us know in the comments or share a link to your own WoW post!

  10. I haven't read anything by Colleen Hoover, but I know a lot of my blogging buddies like her books. I still need to read the first Sarah Fine book--although I do have it. I think I like this cover more than the first (even if that's not the point). Awesome that you now have it in your hands! Great picks!
