Waiting On Wednesday (13)

Wednesday, March 14, 2012



"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 


Unbreak my Heart by Melissa C. Walker

Unbreak My Heart

Sophomore year broke Clementine Williams’ heart. She fell for her best friend’s boyfriend and long story short: he’s excused, but Clem is vilified and she heads into summer with zero social life.
 

Enter her parents’ plan to spend the summer on their sailboat. Normally the idea of being stuck on a tiny boat with her parents and little sister would make Clem break out in hives, but floating away sounds pretty good right now. 
Then she meets James at one of their first stops along the river. He and his dad are sailing for the summer and he’s just the distraction Clem needs. Can he break down Clem’s walls and heal her broken heart?
 

Told in alternating chapters that chronicle the year that broke Clem’s heart and the summer that healed it, Unbreak My Heart is a wonderful dual love story that fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Susane Colasanti will flock to.

I am a HUGE fan of Deb Caletti, as well as Susane Colasanti and Sarah Dessen, so this book sounds right up my alley! I love the gorgeous cover. This sounds like the perfect book to curl up with on the beach this summer!

Look for it to hit bookshelves near you on May 22nd.

Flirting In Italian by Lauren Henderson

Flirting in Italian

Four girls. One magical, and possibly dangerous Italian summer. Family mysteries, ancient castles, long hot nights of dancing under the stars . . . and, of course, plenty of gorgeous Italian boys!

WOW! Can I sign up for this vacation? I can hardly contain my excitement for this book. I am not so very patiently waiting. It sounds like an amazing contemporary read that I can't wait to acquire!

Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.

Be careful not to include spoilers!Share the title and author so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like the teaser!

This week my teaser comes from Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig. I got sick yesterday and thought this would be the perfect book to pick up and so far it's been the perfect "I'm sick in bed" read!

Pretty Crooked

I beamed at her, happy I could her so happy. I hadn't exactly been a model citizen lately - not that she knew anything about that, but still, it felt good to be doing something she could be proud of.

Are You Ready For Hunger Games?

Sunday, March 11, 2012

Hey Lovelies~

Everyone has been amped up and ready for the release of the mega block buster, Hunger Games! I have yet to read the book, but I plan on correcting that this week!

My sister actually read them and loved them. She could not stop glowing about them and would stay up until 3 am reading. So I know it must be totally amazing! Apparently I have several friends who are also equally addicted, so last week we banded together and pre-ordered tickets for opening night! Squee!

I am so amped up! I can hardly stand it. This week, in an effort to be premire ready, my sister and I went on a Hunger Games shopping spree on etsy. We loaded up on Hunger Games jewelry so we'd be dressed to the nine's at the premire.

Here are the lovelies I bought myself for the show

I bought 2 pairs of earrings, ya know, so a girl can have some options! haha

And 2 pocket watch necklaces. Again,  a girl's gotta have options to suit her moods!

And I just HAD to have a bracelette to complete the look!

Waiting On Wednesday (12)

Wednesday, March 7, 2012



"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 


Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris

Unraveling

Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn't possible, she knows—with every fiber of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
 

But her revival, and Ben's possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI agent father's files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what's right in front of her: Everything that's happened—the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben's sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she's going to need to uncover Ben's secrets—and keep from falling in love with him in the process.
 

From debut author Elizabeth Norris comes this shattering novel of one girl's fight to save herself, her world, and the boy she never saw coming.

The premise sounds incredible! I have been absolutely dying to read this one. And the fact that no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get my hands on it, only makes me want it even more!

Look for it to hit bookstores on April 24th.

What books are you waiting for?
