WWW Wednesdays: A fun weekly meme hosted by MizB @ Should be Reading. This meme gives the opportunity to readers to share our current reading, book we recently finished, and books we're planning to read next. 

What are you currently reading?

Lee Child's Jack Reacher is one of my favorite literary heroes. I am reading the 13th book of Jack Reacher series, "Gone Tomorrow" and I'm juggling between this book with a John Green's novel, "The Fault in Our Stars".

What did you recently finished reading?

"The Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman. This is a good book.Review will be posted soon.

What do you think you'll read next?

I read quite a number of thought provoking books in June, so for this month I would like to have more action and thriller. So, I'm going to read Vince Flynn's "The Last Man" and T.C. McCarthy's "Germline" next.

I stare down at my shoes, watching as a fine layer of ash settles on the worn leather. -1st line

Now comes to the last part of the "game". Katniss' final battle. Well, at the beginning of the book I found out that Katniss is having a hard time to figure out whose side she should be on. Feeling betrayed by Haymitch and utterly disgusted by what the Capitol had done to District 12, she's trying to figure out what is the best move she should do next. Separated from Peeta but having Gale by her side, I can't wait what will happened in this final part of the Hunger Games. I really think that Katniss' characters is more mature in this final part, so does her sister Prim. I adore them.

Coming Soon: The Kill Order

I just completed the Maze Runner trilogy and it was such a great read. Then, I find out that this one will be coming out soon, I am pretty excited. How it all started will be revealed in this book and I just can't wait to find out more about it.

The Blurb

 

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares seared the earth and mankind fell to disease.

The Kill Order is the story of that fall.

A prequel  to The Maze Runner trilogy, The Kill Order has been in the works since the completion of The Maze Runner. The  story of civilization's fall was kept under wraps and is the explication of the events that began this bestselling series.

“The prequel is something that has churned in my mind since before "The Maze Runner" was even complete. It's been hard to keep it a secret! I'm excited to finally share the news and I can't wait for my readers to see how it all began," shared author James Dashner.

 

 ** Preorder "The Kill Order" now at Amazon.com or visit the James Dashner's  website for the updates.
