Hi Swooners :-)

This week my "can't-wait-to-read" pre-publication selections are:

The Here and Now by Ann Brashares

Expected release date: April 8, 2014

Links: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Summary from Goodreads:

Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.

This is the story of seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different country. She came from a different time- a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.

Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where theyre from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth.

But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves.

Plus One by Elizabeth Fama

Expected release date: April 8, 2014

Links: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Summary from Goodreads:

Divided by day and night and on the run from authorities, star-crossed young lovers unearth a sinister conspiracy in this compelling romantic thriller.

Seventeen-year-old Soleil Le Coeur is a Smudge-a night dweller prohibited by law from going out during the day. When she fakes an inquiry in order to get access to and kidnap her newborn niece-a day dweller, or Ray-she sets in motion a fast=paced adventure that will bring her into conflict with the powerful lawmakers who order her world, and draw her together with the boy she was destines to fall in love with, but who is also a Ray.

Why I'm waiting:

Both these books sound amaze-balls to me. Plus the covers are beautiful, especially for Plus One. I know they say you should never judge a book by its cover, but who are we kidding...I ALWAYS DO!!!! Lol
