Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight
and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on
Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. My pick this week is a book that I squealed at work when I saw on another blog that this was going to be a book. The Gone series by Michael Grant is one of my favorite series, it is a much better version of the very similar story, Under the Dome by Stephen King. And to know I get to read more? Well, let’s just say I can’t wait! Here’s the blurb from Goodreads:
In the stunning follow-up to the globally bestselling Gone series, Michael Grant continues the story of the teens who morph into superheroes—and supermonsters—when they ingest an alien virus.
Four years after the events of the FAYZ, new meteorites are hitting Earth, and the whole world is exposed to a strange alien virus that gives humans unique superpowers.
As some teens become heroes and others become dangerously out of control with their new powers, the world will become more terrifying than the FAYZ—and only a monstrous battle between good and evil can save them.
Have you read this series? What do you think, do you want to read this one, or go back and start the whole series? What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?
I love the idea of teens morphing into superheroes but I've not read any of the Gone books. It seems like I'm really behind if this is book 7.
You should totally pick this one up! And up until now I thought the series was over with book 6, so this one is a very exciting surprise! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, I'm super behind with this series! Book 7 is a lot! I haven't read any Michael Grant books, but I've heard awesome things 🙂 I hope you enjoy this one, Lisa!

That cover is AWESOME! So intriguing. I've been meaning to read his books. This looks and sounds like a good place to start. 🙂

I don't know if you can start with this one, you probably should go back and start with Gone. It is the book that first got me into Grant's books. Thanks for stopping by!
Hmm, this definitely sounds like it has possibilities!
I'm surprised you haven't read this series, it seems right up your alley! Thanks for visiting!
OMG, this sounds SO AWESOME!! I've never even heard of the Gone series, though. so yes, I would want to start at the beginning! I love reading SF and dystopian novels, so I'm definitely interested!! I'll start by adding the first book to my Goodreads shelves. If I enjoy that one, then I'll go on with the rest of the series, but I can tell you right now that I do think I'll love these books!! Thanks for featuring the new, upcoming release!! <3 🙂
Thanks as well for stopping by and commenting on my own CWW post!! Hope you're having a GREAT day!! <3 🙂
I hope you try it and love the series as much as I did! You'll have to come back and tell me what your think after you read the first one, for sure give me a link to your review! Thanks for stopping by!
