Waiting on on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that features upcoming novel releases that we're anticipating with bated breath!
By: Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Release Date: 2013
Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen never should have met. She’s the socialite daughter of the richest man in the galaxy, and he’s a decorated soldier fighting back rebellions on newly terraformed planets. But when the vast luxury spaceliner they’re both traveling on crashes, they find themselves thrown together as the two sole survivors on an unknown planet.
As they survive harsh conditions and dwindling supplies—not to mention each other—the two begin to uncover a mystery surrounding the abandoned planet that neither of them could have guessed.
The first in a trilogy, THESE BROKEN STARS sets into motion a series of timeless, standalone love stories that span galaxies—and are linked by their shared worlds and one mysterious enemy.
Genre: YA Science Fiction/Space Opera
Plot Envy: This is like, the book I most want to read (aka the book I should have written).
Debut: This is Amie Kaufman's first novel, Meagan Spooner's second. Spooner's first novel was Skylark.
Amusing Myself: Look at all these sweet pictures I found of stars. [courtesy of tumblr]
