Waiting on Wednesday #10 False Memory by Dan Krokos

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine where bloggers post spotlights on upcoming releases that they're eagerly anticipating.

This week, my pick is False Memory by Dan Krokos. Publication Date: August 14th 2012 by Hyperion.

Goodreads summary: Miranda North wakes up alone on a park bench with no memory. In her panic, she releases a mysterious energy that incites pure terror in everyone around her. Except Peter, a boy who isn’t at all surprised by Miranda’s shocking ability.

Left with no choice but to trust this stranger, Miranda discovers she was trained to be a weapon and is part of an elite force of genetically-altered teens who possess flawless combat skills and powers strong enough to destroy a city. But adjusting to her old life isn’t easy—especially with Noah, the boyfriend she can't remember loving.

Then Miranda uncovers a dark truth that sets her team on the run. Suddenly her past doesn’t seem to matter...when there may not be a future.

Where has the time gone?

Time works in mysterious ways. I can't believe it's been more than three weeks since I last made a post! I promise to update at least once a week from now on.

If you're wondering why I've been slacking, this post will help clear up some ambiguity. Drumroll please ...

I got a job! A full-time, 40-hour-a-week job complete with paycheck and great work environment!

Although I'm really excited, it does significantly cut back the amount of time I'll be able to dedicate to reading and blogging, which I'm sure you've already noticed as you scroll through the month of March.

Here's hoping to get back to a decent schedule :)
