It’s Wednesday again. What books are you looking forward to reading?

Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that showcases much awaited upcoming releases.

Putting a little twist to my WoW post. I’m going to feature two books per week, separated by category. One, is ‘On the Lookout‘ showcases debut, standalone, or first in a new book series. And the ‘Sequels to Watch‘ is for sequels. These categories are also featured widgets on my blog’s sidebar! Now let’s get this thing going.

ON THE LOOKOUT:

Control by Lydia Kang

After the violent death of her father, 17 year-old Zelia loses her younger sister, Dylia, during an abduction at a foster care agency. It turns out her sister Dylia isn’t just pretty and sweet – she’s illegal. In the year 2150, DNA must be pure by law, and anyone with enhanced genes face death. Zelia’s only allies are the freak-show inhabitants of her new, underground foster home.

SEQUEL TO WATCH

Prodigy (Legend #2) by Marie Lu
Expected publication: January 29th 2013
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile

June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

In this highly-anticipated sequel, Lu delivers a breathtaking thriller with high stakes and cinematic action
