Waiting on Wednesday: Acid and Red

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you can post about upcoming books you're looking forward to. This is a wonderful chance for blogger to show off what's coming out soon that they are excited about! Every week my wishlist balloons thanks to this awesome meme.

Acid by Emma Pass
A fast and furious thriller featuring the coolest, toughest bad girl since Lisbeth Salander. Meet Jenna Strong. 
In Jenna’s world, ACID – the most brutal, controlling police force in history – rule with an iron fist. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a bloody crime she struggles to remember. 
But Jenna’s violent prison has taught her a thing or two about survival. And when a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed and skill to stay one step ahead. 
A gripping futuristic debut that will hook you from the very first page.
Acid is out April 25th 2013 by Corgi Children's Books/Random House Children's Publishing.

Holy heck does that girl on the cover look fierce which is perfect since that is exactly how that description depicts her as. I think this looks a thrilling read that will keep me guessing until the last page. Definitely looking forward to it!

Red by Alison Cherry
Felicity St. John has it all—loyal best friends, a hot guy, and artistic talent. And she’s right on track to win the Miss Scarlet pageant. Her perfect life is possible because of just one thing: her long, wavy, coppery red hair. 
Having red hair is all that matters in Scarletville. Redheads hold all the power—and everybody knows it. That’s why Felicity is scared down to her roots when she receives an anonymous note: 
I know your secret. 
Because Felicity is a big fake. Her hair color comes straight out of a bottle. And if anyone discovered the truth, she’d be a social outcast faster than she could say "strawberry blond." Her mother would disown her, her friends would shun her, and her boyfriend would dump her. And forget about winning that pageant crown and the prize money that comes with it—money that would allow her to fulfill her dream of going to art school. 
Felicity isn’t about to let someone blackmail her life away. But just how far is she willing to go to protect her red cred?
Red is out October 8th 2013 by Delacorte Press.

I never really thought about a hair color giving you popularity but I guess it is no different than pretty hair and pretty teeth making you accepted. Love the unique angle on this one!

What are you waiting on this week?

Thinking of writing something below? Well, that's why you are awesome! I always love feedback!

This blog is an award free zone. With the demand of a full time job, blogging time is becoming much more precious and I just don't have the time to meet the demands of awards. Thanks so much for thinking of me anyway!
