We sit for hours looking through our TBR lists wondering when we will ever get to that one book we were dying to read when we added it 3 months ago or maybe even a year. As our piles get bigger we realize there is just not enough time in a day to read all the books that we wanted to read. So I had a great idea, pick 3 books from my TBR Pile and have you all pick which one I should read next. This is a monthly MEME and you are more than welcome to join me. Just create a blog post with your three books and link the post below. Need the full rules? No problem you can find them all right HERE. Don’t forget to stop by the blogs on the linky below to help the other bloggers by voting on their next read!
I thought we can keep up with each list with the hashtag #MyTBRL so add that to the end of your post so if you can’t get to the linky we can still find you ๐
So this month I picked
Omega City (Omega City #1)
by Diana Peterfreund
Kindle Edition, 336 pages
Published April 28th 2015 by Balzer + Bray
The first middle grade novel in an exciting new series from acclaimed author Diana Peterfreund, perfect for fans of The Goonies and The City of Ember.
Gillian Seagret doesn’t listen to people who say her father’s a crackpot. His conspiracy theories about the lost technology of Cold Warโera rocket scientist Dr. Aloysius Underberg may have cost him his job and forced them to move to the middle of nowhere, but Gillian knows he’s right and plans to prove it.
When she discovers a missing page from Dr. Underberg’s diary in her father’s mess of an office, she thinks she’s found a big piece of the puzzleโa space-themed riddle promising to lead to Dr. Underberg’s greatest invention. Enlisting the help of her skeptical younger brother, Eric, her best friend, Savannah, and Howard, their NASA-obsessed schoolmate, Gillian sets off on a journey into the ruins of Omega City, a vast doomsday bunker deep inside the earth,.
But they aren’t alone inside its dark and flooded halls. For while Gillian wants to save her dad’s reputation by bringing Dr. Underberg’s secrets to light, there are others who will stop at nothing to make sure they stay buried . . . forever.

It is the near future, and the earth has entered a new ice age. Eleanor Perry lives in Tucson, one of the most popular destinations for refugees of the Freeze. She is the daughter of a climatologist who is trying to find new ways to preserve human life on the planet. Dr. Perry believes that a series of oil deposits she has found in the Arctic may hold the key to our survival. That’s when she disappearsโbut not before sending Eleanor a series of cryptic messages that point to a significant and mysterious discovery. Now it’s up to Eleanor to go find her.
This search will launch Eleanor on a breathless race to unlock the mysteries of what has happened to our planet, solving the riddle of the cold that could be humanity’s endโand uncovering a threat to the earth that may not be of this world.
The Fog Diver (The Fog Diver #1)
by Joel Ross
ebook, 336 pages
Published May 26th 2015 by HarperCollins
Joel Ross debuts a thrilling adventure series in which living in the sky is the new reality and a few determined slum kids just might become heroes. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Brandon Mull, this fantasy is filled with daring and hope and a wonderfully imaginative world.
Once the Fog started rising, the earth was covered with a deadly white mist until nothing remained but the mountaintops. Now humanity clings to its highest peaks, called the Rooftop, where the wealthy Five Families rule over the lower slopes and floating junkyards.
Thirteen-year-old Chess and his friends Hazel, Bea, and Swedish sail their rickety air raft over the deadly Fog, scavenging the ruins for anything they can sell to survive. But now survival isn’t enough. They must risk everything to get to the miraculous city of Port Oro, the only place where their beloved Mrs. E can be cured of fogsickness. Yet the ruthless Lord Kodoc is hot on their trail, for Chess has a precious secret, one that Kodoc is desperate to use against him. Now Chess will face any danger to protect his friends, even if it means confronting what he fears the most.

I am so slow all week, I am in a bit of a lazy mood. lol
Thanks for voting! ๐
What fun! I decided to join you—I always have trouble choosing my next book, and I have a huge TBR pile! (this is my first time) You have some good books there. Going to vote now.
Glad you are joining us! Thank you so much for voting!
All these are new to me titles, but they all sound like they will be good. I hope you enjoy whichever ones wins, Michelle.
I love a good Middle Grade book ever now and again! They are fun to read and can really get you out of real life for a while ๐
Okay…I took my time to vote for your books. It was really hard to choose! In fact, I took all day to ponder on my vote (I know…I took it too seriously, lol.) But I finally decided on Omega City because I love the Goonies.
LOL and now you know why I made you all pick ๐
Thank you so much for voting, Vonnie!
Ok, what the heck? When I can’t decide between the books I go with the one with the least pages. But all 3 books had 336 pages! Gah!! lol
Holy Shit! I didn’t even notice that lmao! I’m playing the pick 3 tomorrow ๐
They all sound exciting, Michelle, but I went with Omega City. I can relate to a conspiracy theorist. ๐ I hope you’ll enjoy whichever book wins! ๐
Thanks for voting, Brandee! ๐
I voted for Omega City, because I liked Peterfreund’s For Darkness Shows the Stars. They all sounded good though.
Something to look forward to if I really like the book! I always look up other works of the author. I’ll have to look that one up! Thanks for voting!
Well I’m not much of a middle grade reader but those last two sounded interesting to me. I ended up voting for the Fog Diver because living in the sky sounds cool and I do like Rick Riordan (assuming the comparison I’d accurate).
Lol, I have book two already for this one but I am eager to see which one wins. Thanks for voting, my friend!
I had to go with Omega City.
It seems to be the popular one ๐ Thanks for voting Bunnita!
All 3 look fantastic! I went for Omega City but it was a tough decision!
Lol Thank you for voting, Katherine!
These all look great- I voted for Omega City because Goonies reference and underground doomsday bunker. yes please. But arctic Code sounds good too, and love the cover of Fog Diver.
I actually already have book two for Arctic Code and Fog Driver. I will get to them eventually but I agree the goonies reference has me very excited! ๐
I haven’t heard of any of these before, Michelle, but Omega City sounds really good, so that one got my vote. I hope you’ll enjoy your February TBR pick!
Thanks for Voting Lexxie! I was feeling in a Middle Grade mood! ๐

I voted for Omega City as that one is on my to-read list too, although I don’t own a copy yet. It sounds like a fun one and the cover looks great. The other two look good too. I hope you’ll enjoy whichever one wins and I am looking forward to your review!
