Tell Me About It
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Tell Me About It
Kimberlee’s dead. Has been for a while, actually. Stuck haunting the halls of her high school, she’s doomed to an afterlife of boredom. That is until the new kid shows up.

The first thing Jeff spots is Kimberlee lying on the floor as other students walk right through her. Pretty soon she’s harangued him into helping her escape to the afterlife.

Kimberlee guesses that once Jeff rights her mean girl wrongs she’ll be able to move on. But nothing is simple in life after death...

Clock Rewinders & Stacking the Shelves

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain-child of Tara from 25-Hour Books and Amanda from On A Book Bender. I am using it to share what has happened this past week on my blog, what is going on in the blogosphere, and also my reads and what incoming books I have received.

Recap on Much Loved Books

Monday- Drummer Girl was a surprising read that I could not put down.[review]
Tuesday- One of my most anticipated 2013 releases, but did it live up to my expectations, take a look and see [review]
Wednesday- Is it November yet, check out my Waiting On Wednesday to see what I'm waiting for.
Thursday- I am so sad to see this series coming to an end, check out my review for Fall of Night.
Friday- Slide was a unique book in 2011, see what I thought of Imposter, the latest addition to the series by Jill Hathaway.

In my world

I got to see Rachel Caine in Liverpool on Monday, and I got to meet up with a few other people there. Eleanor and Jen are two who I previously met last year, but I also got to meet Lisa from A Life Bound By Books, who was over here for the month.
We also met up on Thursday and spent a few hours in town book shopping and we got some amazing bargains.
This Friday I will be taking part in the Roy Castle Dream Walk for my Dad. This is the second time I have participated and I am looking forward to it.

What's going on in the blogosphere

Anna Banks has a pre-order bonus content going. If you pre-order Of Triton or purchase it between the dates of May 28th through June 2nd 2013 and send proof you get some bonus content from Of Poseidon, and trhe first chapter of Of Triton. Check out her website for more details.

Cover for Aleigant, the third book in the Divergent Series by Veronica Roth,  has been released.  Both the USA and the UK version.  Which one is your favourite.  I love the USA versions but I have to admit I prefer this UK version to the previous UK covers of the series.

Tell Me About It
Be afraid of your shadow...Vee Bell has witnessed murder. She nearly died trying to track down the killer, all because of her secret condition. She'd tell her best friend Rollins but lately he seems more interested in his colleague Anna than her. Maybe she should confide in her long-lost aunt who's turned up out of the blue? All of a sudden life is happening in reverse: Vee is waking up in weird places not knowing what she's done. The only thing she's sure of is that someone is messing with her. And when a prank goes horribly wrong, this time the hands with blood on them might be hers.
