Waiting On Wednesday #60!!


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted at Breaking The Spine  that spotlights those can't-wait-to-get-my-hands-on-them books that we are eagerly awaiting!

And what book am I biting my nails awaiting release day for this week? The Body Electric by Beth Revis!!




Goodreads Summary:

"The future world is at peace.

Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift—the ability to enter people’s dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother—to help others relive their happy memories.

But not all is at it seems.

Ella starts seeing impossible things—images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience—and influence—the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love—even though Ella’s never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing…

Someone’s altered her memory.

Ella’s gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. She is the key to stopping a war she didn’t even know was happening. But if someone else has been inside Ella’s head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings.

So who can she trust?"




Why am I eagerly awaiting The Body Electric? Well, it is a companion novel to the Across The Universe series, taking place on Earth and according to Beth Revis herself is full of amazing geeky references, so what's not to love!?!?

 What are you all (im)patiently awaiting this week?

Friday Reads: Infinite Repeat by Paula Stokes!!!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday!!

Today I work night shift, which means at least I have all the day to read and hopefully write a few of my pending reviews! I've been doing rather hopelessly at review writing these past days!

To start this week's Friday Reads I have one of this week's releases, a novella, but one of the long ones, and one that I kept on hoping it would have been even longer! I wish Paula would have got to write a full book on Micah's POV!!


Infinite RepeatInfinite Repeat by Paula Stokes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Paula has done it again! *sniffles* I was really looking forward to reading this story from Micah's POV but I wasn't really sure what to expect from it, but I'm very happy to say that she managed to make me wish it would have been way longer, to understand and love Micah even more and to love Trinity, Micah's little sister even more! Dammit, I'm even wishing she'd get her own book now!!

Infinite Repeat takes place before the events of The Art of Lainey, leads us through Micah's struggle to deal with the changes in his relationship with Amber, his guilt over his father's death, with some flashbacks to some examples of how badly Micah had been dealing with it in each of the death's anniversaries.

We also get to see some of Micah's time at work, we get another look at his love for cooking and baking (devil's food cake with light and dark chocolate mousse, YES PLEASE!!), and we also see Lainey through his eyes as the popular girl that works at her parents' cafe, and that was quite an interesting alternate way to see her too.

I absolutely loved how Paula managed to balance the tough emotional parts of Micah's story, with amazing family moments, showing his love of music and still inserting her trademark humour!

A wonderful novella that I would have loved more only if it would have been longer! I'm gonna be rooting for more pages about this characters somehow! Well deserved 5 stars!
