Waiting on Wednesday (8): Glitch
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine to highlight upcoming eagerly anticipated book releases
I'm waiting for:
Glitch by Heather Anastasiu
Expected Publication Date: August 7, 2012
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
From Goodreads:
In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.
When Zoe starts to malfunction (or "glitch"), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.
As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they're caught and deactivated, or worse.
Science fiction, a utopia with cracks, possible love triangle? I'm so intrigued! Ironically, as I was writing this WoW up, I got an email from NetGalley approving me to read this one :D So I'm super duper excited!
What's your WoW this week? Leave me a link in the comments so I can check yours out!

Sounds like an interesting read! Though I'm not thrilled with the thought of another love triangle I may give this a shot. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm not sure if there actually is one, but if there's two boys and one girl? I can only guess the outcome. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI have a love/hate thing with YA. Great ideas but sometimes sketchy execution. That said- I'll probably give this one a look. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI have read this one and it wasn't really for me, but I know a lot of bloggers who loved it! Great picks. Love the blog, new follower on GFC : )
