What if you weren't the chosen one?
What if you're not the one who's so often the hero in YA fiction; who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death? What if you were like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again. Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life. Even if your best friend might just be the God of mountain lions...
The Rest of Us Just Live Here will be released on August 27 by Walker Books.

OMG! That synopsis though! I haven't read a Patrick Ness book but if I were to pick one up, I'd want this one too because...that synopsis gave me life! HAHA, lovely pick!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this one around a bit and it looks pretty interesting. It almost sounds like a book written entirely about Ron Weasley lol. Awesome pick!

This is a new one to me. It sure sounds crazy and quirky! My kind of read! Lol. Now I'm interested in finding out just how this unusual hero solves the unique problems he's being presented with. Goodreads, here I come! Thanks for featuring this book, which I KNOW I'm going to greatly enjoy!!

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
This looks like an interesting read, I hope you enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've seen of this one, but it sounds fabulous! I already love that the synopsis sounds a little sarcastic. I love sarcasm. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThis was almost going to be my pick for this week lol! This book just sounds amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds super interesting! I've never read anything by Patrick Ness so maybe this should be my first. I like the thought of getting perspective from the ordinary guy.

ReplyDeleteYvonne @ A World Between Folded Pages

New book to me and it sounds quite good!

ReplyDeleteI haven't read this author before but I've heard a lot about him. This looks good. :)
ReplyDeleteHECK YES! I absolutely LOVE Patrick Ness and everything he has written, plus the idea for this book is utterly genius. I think it's going to be one spectacular read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, you've gotten me even more pumped for this one!! :D
I've never heard of this one, but it really looks good!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick sadly I haven't read a Patrick Ness book yet but this one looks and sounds utterly fantastic! Thank you for stopping by my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteOoohh, something from the perspective of the people on the sidelines. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I have this one, but haven't read it yet. I LOVE the idea of a superhero/power book being about the ordinary people in an extraordinary world. I hope we both love this. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of his books but this sounds fantastic. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHeather | Random Redheaded Ramblings
Great pick, I also can't wait for this one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW!
I haven't heard of this before, Krystianna, but it sounds very different from other YA novels, and that can definitely be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteLexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
What do you mean this book isn't out yet? Hahahaha that would explain why I can't find an audiobook version of it on audible. I hate when I add something to my to read list months before the book comes out after reading a review and never even realize it hasn't been released yet. Anyways, good pick, I'm waiting on that one too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW post this week. I am sorry for visiting back so late, but better late than never :)
ReplyDeleteI have never read any of Ness' books, but I am curious about his writing. Also the cover for his upcoming novel really draws me in.
I have seriously got to pick this one up or one of his others. Everyone LOVES him!
ReplyDeleteO, yes. I've pre-ordered this months ago. I can't wait to read it, and I hope we'll both love it. Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my WoW earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read it either, my first one of his, too! :)
