I’m sure we all have heard of The Fifth Wave….whether we have read it or not.
Well, today Penguin has released a paperback version of THE ENTIRE 5TH WAVE TRILOGY, which means that it’s available much cheaper for fans of softcover books!
Heard of the book but not sure what it’s about? Or maybe you haven’t heard of the book at all?
Well, here’s a little blurb for you!
The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother–or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
Sounds good, right? Well, there have been two other books in the series…
Talk about fabulous covers! πβ€οΈπβ€οΈπβ€οΈπβ€οΈπβ€οΈπ
I am fortunate enough to own the first one in ebook format from the last sale, but The 5th Wave is also on sale today for $2.99!!
Not sure how long the sale goes, but I would grab it while you can: The 5th Wave – Rick Yancey (Amazon)
The first book was even made into a movie! I mean, that’s a sign of a good book! π
So I was invited to do a little giveaway for a grand prize of the entire paperback collection, or one of five copies of The 5th Wave in paperback! I jumped on the chance to host a giveaway for these books! Gotta love giveaways!
Here’s all the info (you know, the small print):
Enter for a chance to be one (1) grand prize winner and receive a set of The 5th Wave Collection in paperback, including The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea, and The Last Star (ARV: $32.97), or to be one (1) of five (5) second place winners to receive The 5th Wave in paperback (ARV: $10.99 each).
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Enter between 12:00 AM Eastern Time on May 23, 2017 and 12:00 AM on May 30, 2017. Open to residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia who are 13 and older. Winners will be selected at random on or about June 2, 2017. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
And now a little bit about our author, Mr. Rick Yancey!
Rick Yancey (www.rickyancey.com) is the author of the New York Times bestseller The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea, The Last Star, several adult novels, and the memoir Confessions of a Tax Collector. His first young-adult novel, The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp, was a finalist for the Carnegie Medal. In 2010, his novel, The Monstrumologist, received a Michael L. Printz Honor, and the sequel, The Curse of the Wendigo, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. When he isn’t writing or thinking about writing or traveling the country talking about writing, Rick is hanging out with his family.
Sounds like a nice guy to me! So let’s get to it then! Who wants to enter a GIVEAWAY???

Happy to pass this along, and good luck! I hope we all can get a chance to read what I think sounds like an amazing series!

This is amazing news, and an amazing giveaway as well. The 5th Wave is on my to-read list, I really need to get around to it soon especially if there are more books in the series being released!

Oh, good bc I really really want to read the series, as I feel totally out of the loop. And to know there are more books coming makes me feel a little better about being so behind!
But I trust your judgment, and if you’re planning on reading them, then I plan on it too! π

It’s possibly just a book that doesn’t have as much of a cult following as The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner, good but not popular maybe?

I understand: I’m 10 driving hours away, and I have to take the Greyhound to make my mother feel better. I hate the idea of being without a car, but she’s concerned about car accidents and flat tires and parking in NYC, which I understand. I just wish I was going with someone.
Luckily my friend has a room booked and she will be going with me to the Con, so I won’t feel so alone. It’s an awfully big adventure, and my very first trip of my own! I hope it is worth it! π
