The Time Will Come is a meme hosted by Jodie over at Books for Company. I keep wanting to call this This Too Shall Pass, but alas, that is not the name, but the concept is the same. These are books that I really want to read but just haven't gotten around to.

The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago. Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was walking with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.
Nicole's Take: A modern day Jack the Ripper? I love it. It takes some of my favorite themes and combines them. Historical Fiction, London, and murder? This book has my name written all over it. I got this book while I was at BEA12, and I'm so bummed that I haven't gotten to read it yet, but when I do have a free chance to read it, I will get there.

I won this book during the YA-mazing Race hosted by the Apocalysies. It's a middle grade book, which I don't often read, but I'm still so excited to read this book. I won this book back in March, and its taken me way too long to get to it. She also sent gourmet hot chocolate and a really really delicious chocolate bar that I wish I had saved the label so I could get it again. Goodreads Synopses: In the land of Story, children go to school to learn to be characters: a perfect Hero, a trusty Sidekick, even the most dastardly Villain. They take classes on Outdoor Experiential Questing and Backstory, while adults search for full-time character work in stories written just for them.
In our world, twelve-year-old Una Fairchild has always felt invisible. But all that changes when she stumbles upon a mysterious book buried deep in the basement of her school library, opens the cover, and suddenly finds herself transported to the magical land of Story.

I got this book in March from my mother, and had decided I wanted to read it for the release. Apparently this was not to be and so it has been waiting on my shelf for me to have time to pick it up. I've never read anything by Picoult (shame on me I know) but I do have feelers out for a few of her books. I was hoping to get to meet her since she frequents a bookstore by where my boy goes to school, but I never luck out. Turns out that she's going to be doing a signing there this summer, but he won't be there and its right around my cousins wedding, bummer but also cool. This book sounds really cute, but you can judge it for yourself below. I also think it was sweet since it was written by Picoult and her daughter. Can I get an "awwwwwwww"?
Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.
And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He’s a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He’s sure there’s more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.
Delilah and Oliver work together to attempt to get Oliver out of his book, a challenging task that forces them to examine their perceptions of fate, the world, and their places in it. And as their attraction to each other grows along the way, a romance blossoms that is anything but a fairy tale.

I'm a zombie hooker and we all know it. This book is also about zombies and I didn't even know it until my mother was raving about how there was a sequel coming out and how much she loved it and she wanted to read the next one. She told me about it then thrust the 765 page ARC into my hands. I looked into it more and then I got super excited. Who doesn't love a government experiment gone wrong that turns all of the taxpayers into mindless flesh eating zombies!? (Political commentary anyone?)
Either way, this book will be waiting for a LONG time since I just don't have time to read a book that long. I figure also since there are at least 2 more books slated to come out, then I can wait at least that long since I don't want to read the books and then forget everything that happens in between them. Silly series.
Here is the Goodreads synopses:
“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born.”
First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.
As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—towards the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun.
With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive storytelling, masterful prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial and transcendent work of modern fiction.

I really can't wait to read this, and I know once I do its going to be a super quick read. I got this because one of my Book Clubs were reading this, but I missed it but a few weeks. I had already purchased it so I decided I would still read it. I always loved the paranormal so the idea of reading about a whole world where they got to school together. It seems very Halloweentown which was one of my most favorite movies when I was growing up. I keep saying that its going to be the next book that I'm going to read, but then I get a Netgalley or I join a new Blog Tour, not to mention library books and then I just fall behind.
Goodreads Synopses:
Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie’s always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she's falling for a shape-shifter, and she's the only person who can see through paranormals' glamours, but still. Normal.
Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie's dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.
I'm sorry that this one doesn't have have a book trailer, but I tried to find one! Have you read Paranormalcy? What did you think of it?
As I explained last week, The Time Will Come is a reading meme hosted by Books For Company. I will be hosting one book a week that I really want to read that I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm going to try to stick to books that I have waiting for me at home since I have 3 shelves full.
This week the book is The President's Vampire by Christopher Farnsworth. The second book in a series. I got this book in hardcover when Borders was closing, and I was trying to snatch up whatever books I could. Although I am a big zombie fan, I do have some love for vampires. The first book was fun and quippy since Nathaniel Cade (the vampire) and the president's assistant Zach, don't exactly get along. I'm excited to see what the second book brings. I've also included the book trailer for the first in the series. It doesn't get your blood pumping (tehehe), but it does offer some intrigue. I think one of the reasons I keep hiding from this book is because its in hard cover, and I really hate hardcover.
Goodreads Synopses:
For 140 years, Nathaniel Cade has been the President's Vampire, sworn to protect and serve his country. Cade's existence is the most closely guarded of White House secrets: a superhuman covert agent who is the last line of defense against nightmare scenarios that ordinary citizens only dream of.
When a new outbreak of an ancient evil-one that he has seen before- comes to light, Cade and his human handler, Zach Barrows, must track down its source. To "protect and serve" often means settling old scores and confronting new betrayals . . . as only a centuries-old predator can.
So I've been looking for ways that are more interactive with you and ways to keep you readers reading. In the course of this, I've been reading a lot of other blogs, looking for idea's. Some of them were things like Mailbox Mondays and Top Ten Tuesdays or Teaser Tuesdays. Some of the blogs that I checked out were Shadow Kisses and a handful of others that I've closed out already but will mention more. This particular idea comes from Books for Company.
The idea of The Time Will come is that there are books that have been on my shelf waiting to be read that I really want to read that I just haven't gotten around to. I decided to go with this meme because I have so so many books that I want to share with all of you. If you also do a similar post, go ahead and leave it in the comments! I would love to check it out and I'll even link to you!
My mom brought this book home at the start of the year and I've wanted to read it since she got it. Sadly, I'm all dystopian'ed out because I started the year reading so many of them that I needed a break. I'm only just getting to a point where I can start reading them again, but I keep getting so many other books that need to be read first. The book trailer for this book also makes it look super sweet so I can't wait to read it. If you're interested in the trailer for this book, you can watch it right below. The video has more to do with the premise behind the book so that makes it all the more exciting.
