Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. This week’s choice is:
Publisher: Tor Teen/MacMillan
Publish Date: June 21, 2013
Genre: Mythology, Dystopia
Goodreads Summary: Piper's world is dying. Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.
Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.
An imaginative melding of mythology and dystopia, Solstice is the first YA novel by talented newcomer P. J. Hoover.
Why am I waiting on Solstice? It combines two of my favorite genres: Greek mythology and dystopia, plus I love the cover! I believe this book was self published last year and is now being traditionally published by Tor Teen. Current reviews for it are very good and I can’t wait to read it. What books are you waiting on?

This looks familiar, maybe similar to another cover? Looks great though!
Can't go wrong with Greek mythology + dystopia! At least, I hope not. I'm looking forward to this too.
YES! I'm excited about this one, too! I met PJ Hoover at the beginning of the summer, and she was so sweet! And I love that she went from self-pubbed to traditionally pubbed with this one. Very cool :)
I haven't seen this one yet! It sounds super exciting. I am definitely putting it on my list.

I've added Solstice on my TBR list too! The cover drew me first, then the blurb :)
Well, okay! You just about sold me on this one. Sounds really good and right up my alley too. I'll have to check it out.
I hadn't heard of that book before, but I'll have to check it out. It sounds really interesting. Great pick!
