Waiting on Wednesday

My selection this week is inspired by the snow we've received this week:

Summary from goodreads
The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive....
Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision...

This is very different from a lot of the books I've read lately.....different can be good though, right?

  1. Different can definitely be good. At the very least, it recharges your want to read the normal books you like to read ^.^
