Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Breaking the Spine. It lets us spotlight books that haven't been released, but that we can't wait for. This week we've picked two separate books that we're waiting for.

Angie's Pick
I'm waiting for Relativity by Cristin Bishara, which come out on September 10th.
If Ruby Wright could have her way, her dad would never have met and married her stepmother Willow, her best friend George would be more than a friend, and her mom would still be alive. Ruby knows wishes can't come true; some things just can't be undone. Then she discovers a tree in the middle of an Ohio cornfield with a wormhole to nine alternative realities.
Suddenly, Ruby can access completely different realities, each containing variations of her life—if things had gone differently at key moments. The windshield wiper missing her mother’s throat…her big brother surviving his ill-fated birth…her father never having met Willow. Her ideal world—one with everything and everyone she wants most—could be within reach. But is there such a thing as a perfect world? What is Ruby willing to give up to find out?

This book sounds interesting because I've always thought the idea of alternate realities to be intriguing. And the cover looks flipping awesome. I can't wait to read it!

Jordyn's Pick
This week I'm waiting for Angel Fever by L.A. Weatherly. It comes out on November 26th.
As half-angel Willow strives to save the world from her parasitic otherworldly kin, romance and tension heat up to a climactic finale.
In the devastated remains of the world, millions of people live in "refugee" camps provided by the angels who have all but enslaved humanity. As this angelic stranglehold tightens, Willow and Alex are recruiting and training new Angel Killers while struggling to hold ground on the celestial battlefield. But Willow continues to have feelings for Seb, and her love and resolve are tested as a shattering revelation sends Alex on a separate journey. Now that the final battle versus the angels is about to begin-and the fate of the world hangs in the balance-each of them must face the consequences of their own choices. Will love endure? Will the human race survive?

I read the first two books in this series and both of them just blew me away. Angel's in this series are a completely different concept. They're evil and cruel and possibly unstoppable. But I adore cheering for the still-hopeful band of heroes. Plus, that cover is gorgeous and really symbolizes how the world has basically gone up in flames.
