Waiting On: Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis (33)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Breaking the Spine


Title: Not a Drop to Drink
Author: Mindy McGinnis
Release Date: September 24th, 2013
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Regret was for people with nothing to defend, people who had no water.

Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most importantly, people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty, or doesn't leave at all.

Confident in her own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby fields and forest. Having a life means dedicating it to survival, and the constant work of gathering wood and water. Having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles in hand.

But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing: strangers. The mysterious footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won’t stop until they get it...

With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, debut author Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl’s journey in a barren world not so different than our own.

[Summary Source: Goodreads]
1. I love this cover. So much. SO MUCH.
2. I'm kind of over dystopia/post apocalyptic stuff but I can't help myself. This one just sounds so good.
3. Did I mention how good this plot sounds? I want it.

    Is it bad that the only reason I want to read this book is because of the cover? I don't even really know what it's about.
