"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: The 100
Author: Kass Morgan
Expected Publication: September 3, 2013
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.
Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again.

I can't even describe how excited I am for this. I'm so hoping it's not going to be a let down. It sounds so promising. And it has also been picked up to be a TV series. Check out the clip.
What's your Waiting on Wednesday pick this week?
Not sure what this one is. Can't see the cover, or therefore the title. Looks interesting though!
