Waiting On Wednesday

                                                            This Weeks Pick:

                                                    The Almost Truth by Eileen Cook

                                                    Release Date: December 5, 2012
Sadie can’t wait to get away from her backwards small town, her delusional mom, her jailbird dad, and the tiny trailer where she was raised…even though leaving those things behind also means leaving Brendan. Sadie wants a better life, and she has been working steadily toward it, one con at a time.
But when Sadie’s mother wipes out Sadie’s savings, her escape plan is suddenly gone. She needs to come up with a lot of cash—and fast—or she’ll be stuck in this town forever.
With Brendan’s help, she devises a plan—the ultimate con—to get the money. But the more lies Sadie spins, the more she starts falling for her own hoax…and perhaps for the wrong boy. Sadie wanted to change her life, but she wasn't prepared to have it flipped upside down by her own deception. With her future at stake and her heart on the line, suddenly it seems like she has a lot more than just money to lose....

I have loved every book by Eileen Cook so I am definetly looking foward to her next book.

This does sound like a familar plot but I will still read it since I have loved her other books.

My thoughts on Delirium and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Delirium
They say that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever. And I’ve always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I’d rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

Pandemonium
I’m pushing aside
the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana
and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke?

I am totally unsure about this series. I love the concept of the series, but something about actually reading them gets to me. I am not sure if it was not executed right for me or it the characters. I mean banning love is such a good concept. love is such a big deal in today's society. Everybody strives for love, so what if you love was banned. I have never been in love but I hope one day do be in love.

I think the characters were a issue of mine. Lena annoyed me. She seemed to complain and not see the world in how she should. Hanna was just a bad friend and also seemed to complain a ot. The boys in both annoyed me. I mainly didn't like them.

The plot flowed nicely but something was off to me. I really I am sure. Maybe it is because I am not a big fan of this type of novel. Don't get me wrong, I did like the books, but something was not right to me. I would tell my friends to read the novels and the next book when it come out next year. This is not a hate review just a I am not quite so sure about the novels but I do like them.

This is really short but it has been a while since I wrote a review.

Hopefully I follow through with my promise this time

So. I have been thinking I have been neglecting my blog for about the last 2ish or so years. So I want to now promise to myself I will post once a week in both July and June. I am about to begin my senior year in high school and I want my senior to be good and one way to do so is improving my blog and working on it once again. I will hopefully be able to do memes and some reviews. This is about the third time I have said this so hopefully third times a charm.

My Favorite Books of 2011

I read a lot of great books this year so this is really hard but here is a list of some of my favorites (not in any order)


1. The Naughty List and So Many Boys by Suzanne Young

These books are something different than a usual book but are still cute. Honestly I read these in January, and remember loving them even though I remember very little about it, which is kinda sad. I do remember them spying on boyfriends to see if they are cheating.


2. Where the Truth Lies by Jessica Warman

I love Jessica Warman's books. I haven't found one I haven't liked. Her book Between is great too. I recommend any of her books.

3. The Education of Emily Kendrick by Eileen Cook

I loved this book. The book was so cute and had a great premise to it.

4. Here Lies Bridget by Paige Harbison

I love Paige and she has a new book coming out soon that I cannot wait to read. A girl going back and kooking at what a witch she was in life.

5. Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasey

Yes, this is a typical rich girl gone poor, but this one felt different for some reason.

6. The Exile of Gigi Lane by Adrienne Marie Vrettos

This is exactly my kind of favorite books. I was a little weird but was totally awesome at the same time.

7. My Life Undecided by Jessica Brody

Jessica's books are so good. What is not to like about a girl giving up and having a blog decide her life. Read her other book The Karma Club to if you haven't already, it's also very good.

8. Love Inc by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout

Such a cute book about girls creating there own business setting people up and hopping for love themselves.

9. Model: A Memoir by Cheryl Diamond

I have had this book on my bookshelf for a like 2 years and finally got to it this year. It was really good, and is all about the rise of Cheryl Diamonds modeling. The ending is kind of sad, I was so into the book and didn't see the ending at all.

10. Past Perfect by Leila Sales

So good. It's about two war reenactment villages competing against each other and the main character falls in love with a guy from the other village which is a total no-no. Read this its really good

Other great books
Rhymes with Cupid by Anna Humpry
Babe in Boyland by Jody Gerham
Wither by Lauren DeStfano
Glimmerglass and Shadowspell by Jenna Black
Bunheads by Sophie Flack
I'm Not Her by Janet Gurtler

I read so many good books this year, this was hard to decide. I could have so many more books. And can anyone tell my favorite genre of books?

Waiting On Wednesday

Deadly Cool by Jemma Halliday
Released: October 11 ,2011

Hartley Grace Featherstone is having a very bad day. First she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with the president of the Herbert Hoover High School Chastity Club. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And if that weren't enough, now he's depending on Hartley to clear his name. Seriously? Not cool. But as much as Hartley wouldn't mind seeing him squirm, she knows he's innocent, and she's the only one who can help him. Along with her best friend, Sam, and the school's resident Bad Boy, Chase, Hartley starts investigating on her own. But as the dead bodies begin to pile up, the mystery deepens, the suspects multiply, and Hartley begins to fear that she may be the killer's next victim.



This book sounds so good. Murder and mystery some of my favorite kinds of book. So excited
