Hi guys! It's Waiting On Wednesday again, hosted by the ever lovely Jill from Breaking The Spine. So what are we waiting for this week??
Shades of Earth (Across the Universe # 3) by Beth Revis
Release Date: January 15th, 2013
Caution: Spoilers from the Across The Universe Series ahead!
Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.
But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.
Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.
FUELED BY LIES.
RULED BY CHAOS.
ALMOST HOME.

Why We're Waiting
Oh. My. Goodness. When the first book came out a few years ago, I was, like, meh. This is okay. (Read my review here. I wrote it when I was, like, eleven, so bear with me.) When the second book came out this year, just reading it was a thrill. I flipped through it into the wee hours of the night, the claustrophobic Godspeed a perfect setting for a mystery. Now that the third book comes out soon, I CANNOT WAIT to figure out Amy and Eldest's next adventures through Centauri-Earth. January 15th will not come sooner!!
