Today I'm excited to give away an ARC of THE 5th WAVE by Rick Yancy. It's a dystopian/sci-fi that I've heard really good things about. It's on my TBR list instead of my read list so I can't tell you what I think about it. But I want to read it.
Here's a description from Goodreads:
The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
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.
Doesn't it sound fantastic?

This one sounds super suspenseful! I wish Rick was coming to Colorado (Rick, if you're reading this, you need to get out West!).
Ooh, I like the sound of that!
I agree with Jess (except come to the North East too). Massachusetts is lovely this time of year (and every time of year, except for winter, before winter, and after winter).
Dystopian! I love it! And I really enjoyed that trailer. Very enticing :-)
This looks super cool. I love dystopian books, and Rick Yancey is awesome.
You're right, that book does sound good! Dystopian sounds like such a hard genre to write, but the books I've read lately in that genre have been done really well.
Thanks for the giveaway! I love dystopias.

It sounds super intriguing. I am wondering what is the wave. Its driving me nuts!!
Sounds very interesting, and since I really enjoyed Enders Game (The only book by Card I can even read) I'm excited to check it out.
That sounds awesome. I love dystopian... and so few people get it right. :)
This sounds bloody awesome!!

Sounds really cool--kind of "The Road" for YA. Am going to put it on my Goodreads list right now!
Rich Yancey's Alfred Kropp series is one of my favorites. My 16 year old just read your post too and can't wait to read it either. Hope it's the beginning of another series!
I've been seeing this one all over the place! Can't wait to read it. :)
I have heard such great things about this one! It was even listed in this week's Entertainment Weekly. Thanks for organizing the giveaway!
This really does look good, but I think I'll skip the giveaway. I have so many books on my pile now. But I always enjoy coming here to see what's new. Thanks for the review.
This one sounds like one of those that will keep me up into the wee hours reading with my covers pulled up to my neck!
Cheers for the giveaway! I'm curious to know why there has been positive reviews for this book :)
Thanks for the giveaway! This book sounds amazing and definitely a page turner! I will post on Facebook.
Ooh, I like the sound of that! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!
This book has been on my wishlist forever! Thanks so much for the giveaway!!

Hey Natalie!!!! Great giveawya as usual you guys are so bodacious!!! I love a great read like this. It's been all over the blogosphere. It's waiting here for me to read it so I'll skip the giveaway. But now I'm going to move it up in the pile. Ha. xoxo
This looks fantastic. I'd like to read Rick Yancey. I don't have any of his books. Thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds like a good one!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I can't wait to read this one!!

Ok so you had me at Ender's Game... lol. Anything that is remotely similar I will have to read! Ender is my all-time favorite and I got a chance to interview Mr.Card when I was in high school (cue giddy squeals now). We'd just finished E.G. in my sci-fi lit class and I truly think that was the game changer for me. I've been writing and wanting to publish ever since :-)
Looking forward to reading this - and a mention appeared on my blog. Thanks!
Wow - I am so glad I found your blog - first a Taken giveaway, and now The 5th Wave? And a schedule of his appearances, including one only 2 hours from me? Authors never ever come anywhere within hours of me! Anyway, I would LOVE to win this book. Besides Taken, this was my other most anticipated book of 2013 and I can't WAIT to read it. Thanks so much for the opportunity!!!
