Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine.
Noggin by John Corey Whaley
From Goodreads:
Listen — Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn’t.
Now he’s alive again.
Simple as that.
The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but he can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy’s body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, he’s still 16 and everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe she’s not his girlfriend anymore? That’s a bit fuzzy too.
Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, then there are going to be a few more scars.
Oh well, you only live twice.

I loved John Corey Whaley's Where Things Come Back, so I'm excited to read another one of his books! The summary for Noggin is so intriguing and weird, and it makes me wish the release date was a lot sooner.
What are you waiting on this week? Leave links to your WoW posts below so I can check them out!
I haven't heard of this book or this author before. Sounds intriguing though.
