Waiting on Wednesday [14]


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. Each Wednesday we pick a book that we can't wait to get our paws on and share it with the rest of you!



So, I saw this beauty when the cover reveal happened a few weeks ago and ever since then I have been freaking out every time I read the synopsis. New Adult has never looked so good.
⚜
 Easy
Tammara Webber
Tentative Release: May 25th 2012
When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she’s single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, stalked by her ex’s frat brother, and failing a class for the first time in her life.

Her econ professor gives her an email address for Landon, the class tutor, who shows her that she’s still the same intelligent girl she’s always been. As Jacqueline becomes interested in more from her tutor than a better grade, his teasing responses make the feeling seem mutual. There’s just one problem—their only interactions are through email.

Meanwhile, a guy in her econ class proves his worth the first night she meets him. Nothing like her popular ex or her brainy tutor, Lucas sits on the back row, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. At a downtown club, he disappears after several dances that leave her on fire. When he asks if he can sketch her, alone in her room, she agrees—hoping for more.

Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that they’ve hooked up. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to trust is anything but easy.

Author Recommendation: Mature Young Adults (language, drinking, sexual situations)


:Why I Can't Wait:
Jeez people. Just read that synopsis and gaze at that cover. SWOON! I am in complete and total love with the New Adult genre that is taking my world by storm and this just seems like the latest and greatest book that is going to take my heart away. I have a little feeling of what may happen...and I so HOPE I am right when it comes to this twist because if so I may seriously just fall into a puddle of swoon goo and have to crawl on my hands and knees to thank Tammara Webber for writing such an amazing piece of work. So, go add this to your lists people, because every day I see this, I squirm in my chair a little bit more.

Tammara, I already love you.
✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸

Waiting On Wednesday [13]


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. Each Wednesday we pick a book that we can't wait to get our paws on and share it with the rest of you!



This weeks pick jumped out at me the moment I saw it. Living in Kansas and all I am no stranger to Storm Chasing, and there is the whole thing about her family problems that I no doubt understand. Anyway, here is my Waiting on Wednesday pick this week!
Enjoy!
⚜
 The Waiting Sky
Lara Zielin
Release Date: August 2nd 2012
One summer chasing tornadoes could finally change Jane's life for the better

Seventeen-year-old Jane McAllister can't quite admit her mother's alcoholism is spiraling dangerously out of control until she drives drunk, nearly killing them and Jane's best friend.

Jane has only one place to turn: her older brother Ethan, who left the problems at home years ago for college. A summer with him and his tornado-chasing buddies may just provide the time and space Jane needs to figure out her life and whether it still includes her mother. But she struggles with her anger at Ethan for leaving home and feels guilty--is she also abandoning her mom just when she needs Jane most? The carefree trip turned journey of self-discovery quickly becomes more than Jane bargained for, especially when the devilishly handsome Max steps into the picture.



:Why I Can't Wait:

Like I said, living in Kansas I am no stranger to chasing tornadoes and there is the fact that this cover is just so brilliant that I can't help but to be drawn to it. I also was drawn to the fact that her mother has an extreme problem and almost ended up ending her daughters life, so she left and is now staying with her brother who already fled their mother and her problems. I feel like being able to relate to a book going in can always be a good thing in the end. The whole should she be there to help her mother, or should she get away so she has a chance for herself in a healthy environment....but other than that...there is also a boy named Max that steps into the picture. Ah swoon. A storm chasing friend of her brothers I am guessing and I can not wait to see how it unfolds.

Storm chasing, boy chasing, and overcoming a family problem that feels like it can suck you in and never let you go.
I am so there.
✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸
I love this cover folks, and you know how I get with covers I love! I want to read and devour it right away. This book looks right up my alley [Ha get it...Tornado Alley...bahahaha I crack myself up] and I am looking forward to August for my chance to read it. Click on the cover or the goodreads link after the description to add this beauty to your goodreads list today!

Waiting On Wednesday [12]


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. Each Wednesday we pick a book that we can't wait to get our paws on and share it with the rest of you!



I really love the name of my pick this week. I was always such a fan of the Velveteen Rabbit when I was little so it caught my eye and after seeing the cover and reading the synopsis I knew I had to read it.
⚜
Velveteen
Daniel Marks
Release Date: October 9th 2012
Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.

But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.

Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.


:Why I Can't Wait:
Ah. Forbidden Romance. You always know they are going to turn out interestingly. I'm pretty excited to see this Velveteen gal get her haunt on. Nothing like a woman scorned, or you know...killed. And Bonesaw seems like a pretty intimidating name does it not?! This book does look edgy, and I really hope it delivers on that front... But I am not going to lie, I am more drawn in to the whole off limits coworker. I love me some forbidden romance and this seems to fit that bill perfectly. And I am kinda crushing on the guy in this cover. Yeah, I have to turn my computer upside down to properly drool over his amazing face, but I am willing to do it all day long if I have to.
; ]
✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸
Am I the only one here who made the Velveteen Rabbit connection...I was kinda obsessed with that book when I was little. I even had the Rabbit who could turn inside out...But anyway, enough with my younger years babble, doesn't this book look amazing?! If you haven't seen it before now and think it looks as great as I do don't forget to head on over to goodreads and add it to your list! All you have to do is click that gorgeous cover.

Waiting On Wednesday [11]


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. Each Wednesday we pick a book that we can't wait to get our paws on and share it with the rest of you!



Okay you guys, I know that you know I am a HUGE Abbi Glines fan. I practically fawn all over her books anytime I get the chance to. And this week is no different. [:


Predestined
Abbi Glines
Release Date: April 4th 2012
You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder. 

The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited. 

Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.

-Goodreads


:Why I Can't Wait:
I have one word for you. 
Dank. 
Okay, well, I am going to tell you in way more than one word as to why I am jumping in anticipation of this book right here folks. I fell head over heels in love with Existence [More like Pagan and Dank but you know...] and I can not wait to see what is in store for these two next. What the hell is Leif?! Is Dank going to kick some dark spirit ass or is Leif going to put up one hell of a fight for Pagan?! Ah! So many questions, so much anticipation, and the teasers that Abbi Glines keeps revealing are pretty much KILLING me. Just know this readers, the day this sucker comes out, I am devouring it. And I hope I will be here to tell you how amazingly sexy Dank is, but I may be in a shocked coma, who really knows.
; ]
✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸ ✸✸✸✸
Abbi! If you are reading this at all, keep those teasers coming! They may be killing me, but I would kill for them! [:
 
What do you think folks? Are you drooling with me for this book too? Or do you have something utterly amazing you are drooling over this week that you can't even worry about drooling over mine?! Leave your own Waiting on Wednesday link or just comment below to let me know.

Waiting On Wednesday [10]


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. Each Wednesday we pick a book that we can't wait to get our paws on and share it with the rest of you!



So this weeks pick totally caught my eye. Not only is the cover gorgeous but the synopsis is kick ass.


Defiance
C.J. Redwine
Release: August 28th 2012
Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.

 At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.

 As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.
-Goodreads

:Why I Can't Wait: 
Uh hello! Look at that cover! Read that synopsis! I can not wait to read about a bad ass chick that can hold her own. Oh, and there is this guy named Logan [I have a thing for that name...I don't know what it is] that I know is going to totally and completely capture my heart. I love a chick and a guy on a journey together with a whole lot of sexual/emotional tension. Like, lets see, Meghan and Ash in the Iron Fey series. *Swoon* I can not wait to see Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, I can't wait to see how C.J. Rewine will build this Wasteland, and darn it, I can't wait to see what romance they discover! Because I am a totally sucker for a bad ass chick who allows herself to fall in love.

-Goodreads

Why I Can't Wait: 
Well let me just say this, LOOK at that cover. Dazzling! I LOVED the first book Hereafter and I can't wait to see what Amelia has in store for her now.

Okay, well maybe I won't claw someone but still...I want this book people. I want it bad. Waiting to see how her and Joshua will work out, if she can find a way to stay with the guy she loves even if she still is a ghost and then she meets another girl who found a way to live a half life?! Oh folks, this book is going to have so many twists and turns I can already feel it.

Gilt
Katherine Longshore
Release Date: May 15 2012
In the Tudor age, ambition, power and charismatic allure are essential and Catherine Howard has plenty of all three. Not to mention her loyal best friend, Kitty Tylney, to help cover her tracks. Kitty, the abandoned youngest daughter of minor aristocracy, owes everything to Cat – where she is, what she is, even who she is. Friend, flirt, and self-proclaimed Queen of Misrule, Cat reigns supreme in a loyal court of girls under the none-too-watchful eye of the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk.

 When Cat worms her way into the heart of Henry VIII and becomes Queen of England, Kitty is thrown into the intoxicating Tudor Court. It’s a world of glittering jewels and elegant costumes, of gossip and deception. As the Queen’s right-hand-woman, Kitty goes from the girl nobody noticed to being caught between two men – the object of her affection and the object of her desire.

But the atmosphere of the court turns from dazzling to deadly, and Kitty is forced to learn the difference between trust and loyalty, love and lust, secrets and treason. And to accept the consequences when some lessons are learned too late.
-Goodreads

Why I Can't Wait
I am anticipating this book for more than just the cover folks. If you have read this far down then you MUST have read the synopsis [and if you didn't what the heck man?!]. Are you are thrilled and excited as I am?! Historical romances just kill me, but I mean that in a good way obviously. And then there is the little fact that a love triangle will be part of the book. I just can't help myself, I am a sucker for a love triangle people. I love me some angst and I have a feeling I will get just that with this read. Dazzling to deadly sounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon does it not? All I can say is that May needs to hurry itself on up. There are so many fantastic reads coming out in that month and this one is definitely on the top to my to buy list.

-Goodreads

Why I Can't Wait
I can't wait because this book is real. It is a problem that sometimes befall someone who went off to serve his country. Go away normal, come back and everything is messed up. Needless to say I can't wait to read Travis's story. Yeah Travis! As in a YA romance with a male lead. Hell yes. I love a good come back and this seems like it will be an emotional ride to it. I have also been on a contemporary kick lately so this fits my bill. I just keep looking at that June release date and bite my nails. Countdowns are in order here people. Also I have kinda read the reviews on goodreads so I KNOW this book will just blow me away. I just, is it June yet?!

Onyx 
[Lux #2]
Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: May 15th 2012
Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town.

The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…
-Goodreads

Why I Can't Wait
I fell in love with Obsidian, so why would I NOT want this book like YESTERDAY. Daemon is a sexy sexy stud that now wants Katy and she is trying to act like she isn't so very interested in him?! Gah. Sparks are totally going to fly and I want to be there when they do! Not only are these two going to create such a heat I may have to get out of the kitchen [or maybe I will strip some clothes off...] but then I hear Daemons twin may be back?! TWIN PEOPLE. As in looks just like Daemon. I may pass out from too much sexiness. Do I detect a possible love triangle? Or am I just asking a bit too much? Either way, we will have to wait until May to find out for sure and trust me people, I am counting down the days.

Undeadly
Michele Vail
Release Date: November 20th 2012
The day I turned 16, my boyfriend-to-be died. I brought him back to life. Then things got a little weird...

Molly Bartolucci wants to blend in, date hottie Rick and keep her zombie-raising abilities on the down-low. Then the god Anubis chooses her to become a reaper—and she accidentally undoes the work of another reaper, Rath.

Within days, she’s shipped off to the Nekyia Academy, an elite school that trains the best necromancers in the world. And her personal reaping tutor? Rath. Who seems to hate her guts.

Rath will be watching closely to be sure she completes her first assignment-reaping Rick, the boy who should have died. The boy she still wants to be with.

To make matters worse, students at the academy start turning up catatonic, and accusations fly—against Molly. The only way out of this mess? To go through hell. Literally.
-Goodreads

Why I Can't Wait 
Firstly, look at this cover. Stunning, I love every single thing about it. Not only that, but the synopsis is KILLER!!! I am on quite the bad boy stint and this Rath fellow just calls out to me. I have no idea if he will be horrid or what, but from that there description above you ladies and gents, I totally think he will have a pining thing going on, and I LOVE that. What can I say? I have this soft spot for boys that seem to hate girls guts and push everyone away... They are always the best love interests. You just have to get past their asshatness... I don't know, maybe im weird but I do know I want to read this ASAP. November couldn't come knocking on my door soon enough.

And even though I tweeted my heart out last night to win an ARC of this book and didn't win, that doesn't stop me from wanting this book hardcore. March isn't that far away thank goodness! Oh, and I really like the fact that we are going to be getting a love square. Yeah, a square! 3 hot dudes, one is evil, like how awesomely tempting is that going to be?! So yeah, I CAN'T wait. [:

Insurgent
Veronica Roth
Release Date: May 1st 2012
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.
-Goodreads

Why I Am Excited! 
Well, first off it is the freaking second book in the Divergent series...and the first book was flipping RAD! The cover is beautiful, I can't wait to see what happens to Tris and Four and just, gah, this world Veronica dreamt up is just amazing. Plus, we get a taste of another fraction and we all know this book is going to be one crazy ride! War looming, who can she really trust, the suspense is going to KILL me!! So, if you haven't read the first book Divergent you should probably get on it, because in May you WILL want to grab this book up. Eeeep! So excited!!!

Alyson Noel
Release Date: May 22nd 2012  
Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.

There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy.

Why I am excited!
I loved Alyson Noel's first series so I am pretty sure this one will be no different. And I mean, if that beautiful cover isn't enough to pull you in, I kinda don't know what will! Plus, I love the whole navigate between two worlds thing wither it be the living or dead or a faery world. I just can't wait to see what she can do with a whole new set of characters and a whole new plot line, jumping up and down in my seat is what this book makes me want to do. So, my eyes are ready for May because that seems to be the month for some pretty stellar books to come out. [:

Waiting On Wednesday [1]

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

This weeks Waiting On Wednesday selection is.....

By: E.L. James
[January 19th, 2012]

When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian’s singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed. Now, together, they have more – love, passion, intimacy, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control, and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present. Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, misfortune, malice and fate combine to make Ana’s worst nightmares come true. Alone and desperate, she must face down the poisoned legacy of Christian’s past. Seductive, shocking, sad and funny, Fifty Shades Freed is the compelling final volume in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

Why I can't wait!

I can not wait due to one simple fact. Christian Grey. Oh, and the fact that E.L. James is a freaking fantastic author who knows what she is doing. This is the third book in this series and I have a feeling it will be just as perfect as the last two have been. And the blurb about it?! Jeez, there is just SO much that could happen to Ana and Grey and the journey will be an emotional roller coaster I am sure. But you know what? I am more than ready for the ride that E.L. has planned for me. I would seriously go anywhere Christian Grey was. Can we say steamy stud muffin?! One thing is for sure, as soon as this book goes on sale, I will be nabbing it up.
