Wishlist Wednesday #3

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly blog hop hosted by Pen to Paper which allows us to share with you a book each that is on our wishlist, whether it's been on there for a while or just been added. If you'd like to learn more about this meme, check it out here.

This week, the book on Ely's wishlist is:


Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3) by Beth Revis


Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.

But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.

Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.

FUELED BY LIES.
RULED BY CHAOS.
ALMOST HOME.

I really, really enjoyed the first two books of the Across the Universe series so there is no possible way for me to not read this book without feeling that my life is unfilled. It's moments like these that I regret my current book buying ban...

  1. Hehe, I actually featured the whole series a few weeks ago because of all the people who - like you - loved the first two books. I still haven't gotten around to at least adding them to my collection, but I'm still intrigued by the premise (and the hype) - so I hope you get to read this book soon and that you enjoy it :D

  6. Ahh I had to skip that haha and I just saw the cover! I can't wait to read this series and will be picking Across the Universe up sometime next month. I have heard amazing stuff about the books so maybe I need to buy the rest in the trilogy before starting it so I can read them all in one sitting! I say ignore your book buying ban and buy it ;) Great pick!
