Waiting on Wednesday: Cress - Marissa Meyer

with 3 comments
Title: Cress
Author: Marissa Meyer
Pub Date: February 4th, 2014
Publisher: Fiewel and Friends
Page Count: 560

Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard.

In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

Looky looky at this booky! It's another Macmillan book that I'll never get have been trying to get my hands on. I had the awesome pleasure of MEETING Marissa Meyer and she's freaking fantastic.

Cress is something I've been waiting for since Scarlet came out. I want a copy of Cress and even though it comes out in two months, I'm waiting here anxiously! I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but if you haven't pre-ordered it... GO.

Cress is going to be as epic as Cinder and Scarlet were. Marissa has a way with words and her characters are just so awesome that I want to bring them to life and hug them. So yeah, I am really excited for this book!

One of my first spoken words was “story” (right along with “bath” and “cookie”), my favorite toy as an infant was a soft, squishable book, and I’ve wanted to be a writer since I first realized such a job existed.
When I was fourteen my best friend introduced me to anime and fanfiction—over the years I would complete over forty Sailor Moon fanfics under the penname Alicia Blade. Those so inclined can still find my first stories at fanfiction.net. Writing fanfic turned out to be awesome fun and brought me in contact with an amazing group of fanfiction readers and writers. As Alicia Blade, I also had a novelette, “The Phantom of Linkshire Manor,” published in the gothic romance anthology Bound in Skin (CatsCurious Press, 2007).
When I was sixteen I worked at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Tacoma, Washington, affectionately termed “The Spag.” (Random factoid: This is also the restaurant where my parents met some 25 years before.) I attended Pacific Lutheran University where I sorted mail that came to the dorm, carted tables and chairs around campus, and took writing classes, eventually earning a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing and Children’s Literature. Knowing I wanted a career in books, I would also go on to receive a Master’s degree in Publishing from Pace University (which you can learn more about here). After graduation, I worked as an editor in Seattle for a while before becoming a freelance typesetter and proofreader.
Then, day of days, someone thought it would be a good idea to give me a book deal, so I became a full-time writer. CINDER is my first novel, though I have an adorable collection of unfinished ones lying around too.
I now live with my husband and our three cats (Calexandria Josephine, Stormus Enormous, and Blackland Rockwell III), who go in and out, in and out, about eight hundred times a day. My favorite non-bookish things include Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, re-watching episodes of Firefly, and playing all manners of dress-up.

    I am so looking forward to reading this book! Someone said they'd send me their ARC but if it never gets here that's okay because I'd totally but it with that freaking gorgeous cover. Fantastic pick this week!

    I'm so freakin' excited for this book! This is like THE TOP BOOK of February. Or quite possibly unless something comes up and surprises me from behind.
