Wishlist Wednesday #27

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Dani over @Pen to Paper and is a great way of showing off the books that we are dying to get our hands on :)

 Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi


Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

I have heard so many people say how good this book is and have seen a lot of excitement lately about the upcoming release of the second book, Unravel Me. It looks like a book I would enjoy and I read a few pages over at Epic Reads (where you can read the ENTIRE book for a limited time only!). I would have read it there and then but will definitely buy it sometime soon on my kindle or in paperback as it'll just be so much easier. This looks really good and do I need to repeat again and again how much I love dystopian fiction right now?! So yes this book needs to crawl into my clutches now and join my army of books because it sounds so good! Also I love this cover; much better than the previous one in my opinion!
