Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme started by Jill at Breaking the Spine and is a great way to show what books we are dying to get our greedy little hands on in the coming weeks, months, year. Below is my choice.

SPYGLASS BY PHOEBE NORTH

PUBLISHED BY SIMON AND SCHUSTER

EXPECTED PUBLICATION DATE JULY 23, 2013 (assuming the Mayans are wrong)

The author has a rather lengthy comment on the Goodreads site about Terra, the main character that gives some insight into her and what is going on on the spaceship.

Goodreads Synopsis-

My darling daughter,

Know that I never would have left the Earth if it hadn't already been doomed. . .

The generation ship Asherah coasts through space, bound for a planet its passengers have never even seen. On the eve of their arrival, sixteen-year-old botanist Terra discovers that her orderly society has fractured. Walking home one night through the long-abandoned engine rooms, she witnesses the murder of an innocent man. Now, called on by the Children of Abel, a group of rebels intent on destroying the High Council, Terra must prove her mettle--assassinate the ship's rising captain. In order to carry out her task, Terra must betray her father, deceive her teacher, and challenge everything the Council has ever taught her was true. 

The rebels think that Terra has nothing left to lose. But when she falls for Silvan Rafferty, the boy that she's meant to kill, Terra learns that "doing your duty" isn't always as easy as it seems.

Also if you'd like to check out the "Lucky 13s" the novelist that have their debut novels coming out next year, here is their website. It's a huge list of MG and YA authors! So much to look forward to and I can't wait!

Now what are you waiting for? I'd love to know!
