Waiting on Wednesday 03/28/18
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey (November 6, 2018 by Orbit Books)
It might seem strange to be looking forward to books in the fall already when it still barely feels like spring, but the months of October and November are some of my of my favorite times of the year when I get to round up some chilling reads to suit the atmosphere. Can it get any more perfect with a new book from M.R. Carey? I think not!
“From the author of the million-copy bestseller The Girl With All the Gifts comes a heart-stopping high-concept thriller with a gripping supernatural twist that you won’t see coming.
SHE LOOKS LIKE ME. SHE SOUNDS LIKE ME. NOW SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE MY PLACE.
Liz Kendall wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a gentle woman devoted to bringing up her kids in the right way, no matter how hard times get.
But there’s another side to Liz—one which is dark and malicious. A version of her who will do anything to get her way, no matter how extreme or violent.
And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating.
The only way Liz can save herself and her family is if she can find out where this new alter-ego has come from, and how she can stop it.”
Oh yeah a vicious alter ego? I’m in 🙂

The whole “intelligent zombie” thing put me off this author, so there’s no chance I’ll be checking out their future books.
You have fun waiting for this 😀

Got something against “intelligent zombies” do ya? You probably hated the idea of Warm Bodies 😀

I absolutely do! I dislike zombies in general, but they are supposed to be mindless, slavering, brutal, killing machines. So when someone changes the whole idea, it almost never works for me.
I had never heard of WB but did a quick google. Yeah, that would get icepicks or something involved…

The book I chose this week comes out in the Fall as well. I think the Fall usually has the best (and creepiest) releases. This sounds awesome so straight on the wishlist it goes!

I agree, just one of the reasons I look forward to the fall months aside from the cooler weather and relief from the sweltering summer – all the good books!
