the Blacksheep Project: WAITING ON WEDNESDAY

Series: N/A (at least for now...)
Author: Neal Shusterman
Genre: young adult, science fiction, dystopia
Publisher: Simon & Schuster BfYR
Expected Publication: November 2016

In a world where disease has been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed (“gleaned”) by professional reapers (“scythes”). Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe’s apprentices, and—despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation—they must learn the art of killing and come to understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe’s apprentice. And when it becomes clear that the winning apprentice’s first task will be to glean the loser, Citra and Rowan are pitted against one another in a fight for their lives.

I really need to read more of Shusterman's books! I read Full Tilt years ago and it changed the way I read things forever. This one sounds spectacular, too! Great pick!
