Waiting on Wednesday (10): Speechless by Hannah Harrington

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.



My pick this week:

Hannah Harrington
Release Date:  August 28, 2012
by Harlequin Teen

Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can’t keep a secret.

Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast—and nearly got someone killed.

Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence—to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she’s ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.

But there’s strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming her way—people she never noticed before; a boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she’s done. If only she can forgive herself. (From Goodreads)


I am so excited that Speechless is coming out next week!  And I won a preordered copy from Nina at Nina Reads and should get it sometime soon! (Thanks again, Nina!)  I just think it sounds like a cool concept for a book, and for some reason I LOVE this cover.  I hope I get this one rather than the other cover that has a girl with duct tape over her mouth.  Either way, I can’t wait to read it!


What book are you waiting on?  Let me know, or leave a link to your WoW post in the comments, and I’ll stop by your blog!

    Is that really the cover? It looks like an Arc. I don't even see the author's name. The story does sound interesting though. It reminds me of the book, SPEAK, in which the girl lost her ability to talk after suffering a trauma. Good choice!

      I know! I thought it was the ARC but then I found out that it really is the cover. There's another cover as well, but I won a preorder of Speechless and this is the cover that I got from Amazon! I love it! It does sound like Speak. I haven't read that book but I've seen and really enjoyed the movie. Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to check out your blog! :D

    This sounds REALLY good, but I'm hoping it's not a copy of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak. If they're too similar it would really bother me. I'm adding this to my TBR list though. Great pick! Happy reading.

      I haven't read Speak but I have seen and enjoyed the movie. I need to read that! Speechless, to me, sounds a bit different. But since I haven't read either book yet, I can't really say! Thanks for stopping by–I'm off to visit your blog! :)

    I just read a book review of this and I immediately fell in love with it. I hope I'll stay in love with it even after reading it. And I hope you'll love it too! I like this cover much better than the other cover version too!

    This sounds like a good book. I can hardly keep quiet, so there is no way I could take a vow of silence!!

    I've read it and it is so great. It's actually quite different from Speak.

      August 30, 2012 at 8:25 pm

      Yay! That's good to hear. I mean, I haven't read either yet but I want to read both and while of course I want them both to be awesome I want them to be different! So yay! Thanks for stopping by–I'm off to visit your blog! :D

    I like the other cover more, although it's really original that they kept this one so clean and simple.

    My WoW pick!

      Yeah, it is pretty different. Thanks for stopping by–I'm off to visit your blog!

    I can't wait to read this book since I loved Saving June. This is actually my pick today too.

      I've heard Saving June is fantastic. I have it on my TBR list. And that's cool that we both picked Speechless on the same day! ;)

    First – I want to read this so bad!

    Second – Is this comment #51 that you haven't replied to yet ;) I feel your pain (though not as much lol).

    1. Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcase

      August 30, 2012 at 9:13 pm

      Ha! Reply accomplished. However, I am now still behind with about 30 more to go since you wrote this! Aaaaaaaahhhhh! But luckily lots of them are from you, Kate, Steph, and Courtney, and I'm all caught up with your blogs, or close to it! So I can kind of see the end in my future! ;)

    Hmm, I foresee this book making it's way to Virginia to be read by the Terrible Trio (which is a nickname I have decided, just now, to give to Kim, Steph and me).

    1. Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcase

      August 30, 2012 at 9:19 pm

      Sounds like it might make its way over there. I guess I might have to let Bittner borrow it first, though. ;)

    Ohh, or should I go with the Virginia Vixens, the Ereading Eastcoasters, the Book Hook(ers)?
