Waiting on Wednesday: The Boy Is Back

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which shines a light on eagerly anticipated upcoming releases.  This week, my pick is:

The Boy Is Back by Meg Cabot
Publisher: William Morrow
Date: October 18, 2016
Boy Series #4

"Reed Stewart thought he’d left all his small-town troubles—including a broken heart—behind when he ditched tiny Bloomville, Indiana, a decade ago to get rich on the pro golf circuit. Then one tiny post on the Internet causes all of those troubles to return…with a vengeance.

Becky Flowers loves her small-town life, her small-town business, and especially the small-town wedding she’s planning. She hasn’t thought about her no good high school ex, Reed Stewart, in years. Until suddenly—thanks to a news story that goes viral on every gossip site on the Internet—Reed comes bursting back into her life like an Indiana summer twister.

Now everything Becky and Reed thought they knew about themselves (and one another) has been turned upside down, and they—and possibly the entire town of Bloomville—will never be the same, all because: The Boy is Back." -- From Goodreads

Meg Cabot is writing another Boy book!  Be still my rapidly beating heart!!  I loved her Princess Mia book last year, and I'm so excited for her to be writing again.

Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas

Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
Published by Bloomsbury USA Childrens in September 2016
Throne of Glass #5

"The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those don't.

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear." -- From Goodreads

Will you like it?
Do you ever have those series that you just can't string words together to explain how much you love it?  This series has become that after this book.  I just sat with tears shining in my eyes.  I love how much character development there was with everyone in this book.  Aelin is not just fighting by herself anymore.  She is fighting with friends and family, and it is awesome.  Now to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the next book.  You'll find me over in the corner rocking back and forth.

Disclosure: I bought my own copy.

An Author's Odyssey by Chris Colfer

An Author's Odyssey by Chris Colfer
Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers in July 2016
Land of Stories #5

"When the twins and their friends enter worlds crafted from Conner's imagination, finding allies no one else could have ever dreamed of, the race begins to put an end to the Masked Man's reign of terror. Can the twins finally restore peace in the fairy tale world?" -- From Goodreads

Will you like it?
This entire book was dedicated to massing an army.  It was entertaining to go into all of Conner's stories.  However, it really didn't advance the plot.  Either way, I love the setting and the characters of this series.  I can't wait to read the next one!

Disclosure: I borrowed the audiobook from my local library.

Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan
Published by Disney- Hyperion in August 2015

"Who cut off Medusa's head? Who was raised by a she-bear? Who tamed Pegasus? It takes a demigod to know, and Percy Jackson can fill you in on the all the daring deeds of Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and the rest of the major Greek heroes. Told in the funny, irreverent style readers have come to expect from Percy, ( I've had some bad experiences in my time, but the heroes I'm going to tell you about were the original old school hard luck cases. They boldly screwed up where no one had screwed up before. . .) and enhanced with vibrant artwork by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, this story collection will become the new must-have classic for Rick Riordan's legions of devoted fans--and for anyone who needs a hero. So get your flaming spear. Put on your lion skin cape. Polish your shield and make sure you've got arrows in your quiver. We're going back about four thousand years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt, raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we'll die painful tragic deaths. Ready? Sweet. Let's do this." -- From Goodreads

Will you like it?
If you have liked Riordan's other books, you will definitely like this one.  This one delves into the backstories of all of the tragic Greek heroes.  It's highly entertaining and helpful if you ever want to win Jeopardy!
