"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: ACID
Author: Emma Pass
Language: English
Publisher: Corgi Children's Books/Random House Children's Publishing
Expected Publication: April 25, 2013
2113. In Jenna Strong’s world, ACID – the most brutal, controlling police force in history – rule supreme. No throwaway comment or muttered dissent goes unnoticed – or unpunished. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a bloody crime she struggles to remember.
The only female inmate in a violent high-security prison, Jenna has learned to survive by any means necessary. And when a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed and skill to stay one step ahead of ACID – and to uncover the truth about what really happened on that dark night two years ago.
Why I am lurking on this: This cover screams badass girl, and a cruel dystopia adventure is promised in the summary. Uncovering truths and forgotten memories is hardly something I can pass up!

Title: The Summer I Became A Nerd
Authors: Leah Rae Miller
Language: English
Publisher: Entagled Teen
Expected Publication: May 7, 2013
On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.
Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.
Why I am lurking on this: This sounds promising to be absolutely hilarious, as well as totally sweet. =)
ACID sounds really badass! The ACID police force sounds scary. The Summer I Became A Nerd looks so cute! I featured it awhile ago. Nerdy romances are great! Thanks for stopping by!
