Waiting on Wednesday #74

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

NOT A DROP TO DRINK BY MINDY MCGINNIS

Goodreads Description:

Regret was for people with nothing to defend, people who had no water.

Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most importantly, people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty, or doesn't leave at all.

Confident in her own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby fields and forest. Having a life means dedicating it to survival, and the constant work of gathering wood and water. Having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles in hand.

But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing: strangers. The mysterious footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won’t stop until they get it….

With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, debut author Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl’s journey in a barren world not so different than our own.

Hardcover, 352 pages
Expected publication: September 10th 2013 by Katherine Tegen Books

    WOAH, Lynn sounds like one tough cookie! I <3 that cover and have to agree that summary is ah-ma-zing! I really want to see how there is a romance in this place, because it sounds kinda bleak, but I AM SO Looking forward to this one too! ^_^

    Like the cover as well. Given the horror element that it has, I may look into it. Excellent idea to have an nightmarish environment.

    This sounds pretty cool! Although we've had plenty of survival-type stories to last us a lifetime, something about this one stands out. I really like the cover, too! I think it captures the tone of the synopsis well. Great pick, Carina! I'm curious about the potential romance, too. ;)
