When I first started book blogging back in 2015 I starting to participate in “Waiting On Wednesday” that was a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking The Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine is no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for.
Here Is My Can't Wait Wednesday Pick For This Week:
Title: Nine
By Zach Hines
Publication Date: August 7th, 2018 by HarperTeen
In an alternate world startlingly close to our own, humans have nine lives—and they can’t wait to burn straight through them.
As you shed lives, you shed your awkward phases: one death is equal to one physical and mental upgrade. Julian’s friends are obsessed with the idea of burning lives, but Julian is determined to stay on his first for as long as he can. His mother, the ultimate cautionary tale, burned through her first eight in just a few years, and Julian has no intention of succumbing to the debilitating rebirth sickness that she inflicted on herself.
But the regime has death incentives aimed at controlling overpopulation, and Julian realizes that he’s going to have to burn at some point—especially when he becomes a target for Nicholas, the manipulative leader of the Burners, the school’s suicide club. And when Julian eventually succumbs, he uncovers suspicious gaps in the rebirth system that may explain exactly why his mother went so far down the rabbit hole years ago. Along with a group of student dissenters, Julian sets out to find answers and is soon on the verge of exposing the greatest conspiracy ever unleashed on the world.
He has just eight more lives to uncover the brutal truth.

This book is now on my wishlist. I love fairy tale retellings. Peter Pan spin offs are my favorite but this looks like fun and the cover is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it. I think I like the book cover more because it adds a bit of color contrast. Have fun with it!
