Waiting On Wednesday (63)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Burning

Author: Elana K. Arnold

Expected Publication Date: June 11, 2013

Synopsis:

Ben: Having just graduated from high school, Ben is set to leave Gypsum, Nevada. It's good timing since the gypsum mine that is the lifeblood of the area is closing, shutting the whole town down with it. Ben is lucky: he's headed to San Diego, where he's got a track scholarship at the University of California. But his best friends, Pete and Hog Boy, don't have college to look forward to, so to make them happy, Ben goes with them to check out the hot chick parked on the side of Highway 447.  

Lala: She and her Gypsy family earn money by telling fortunes. Some customers choose Tarot cards; others have their palms read. The thousands of people attending the nearby Burning Man festival spend lots of cash--especially as Lala gives uncanny readings. But lately Lala's been questioning whether there might be more to life than her upcoming arranged marriage. And the day she reads Ben's cards is the day that everything changes for her. . . and for him.

Isn't this cover just stunning? I know some people have had enough of the girl in a dress covers but I still love them. I just picked up Arnold's debut novel, Sacred, and am dying to crack it open. There's only a few more weeks until winter vacation for the kids and I am going to make the most of it. Seriously, I mean it this time!

What about you? What are you anxiously awaiting? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out and drool right along with you ;)
