Waiting On Wednesday is a blog meme hosted by Breaking The Spine. All you need to do is write a post containing a book that you can't wait to be published.
This weeks book is Once We Were by Kat Zhang. The expected publication is 29th August 2013. I really loved this book, and can't wait for the sequel to be released. I would show a plot summary of the second book, but that hasn't yet been released.
