Waiting On Wednesdayyyyyyy

Hey everyone, hope you guys are having a wonderful day.The weather has been so nice lately(hope I didn't jinx it) 

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

Ever since school started I haven't had much time to read so all the books I want to read have been out for a while probably. 
But I am waiting until this up and coming holiday to read How to Save a Life, by Sara Zarr. (Goodreads) 


Synopsis by goodreads: 
Jill MacSweeney just wants everything to go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she's been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends--everyone who wants to support her. You can't lose one family member and simply replace him with a new one, and when her mom decides to adopt a baby, that's exactly what it feels like she's trying to do. And that's decidedly not normal. With her world crumbling around her, can Jill come to embrace a new member of the family?

Mandy Kalinowski knows what it's like to grow up unwanted--to be raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes pregnant, she knows she wants a better life for her baby. But can giving up a child be as easy as it seems? And will she ever be able to find someone to care for her, too?

Critically acclaimed author and National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr delivers a heart-wrenching story, told from dual perspectives, about what it means to be a family and the many roads we can take to become one.






- well that is all for today. Goodbye everyone!!! :D

Book: Juliet Immortal

By: Stacey Jay

"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
—Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

The most tragic love story in history . . .

Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.

Greetings from college!

Hello everyone, long time no see. Sorry I haven't been updating for a while. I just started college this month (UNH).  A lot of new things to get used to; I love every minute! Even though I didn't go out of state, I don't regret my decision; it's nice to see the family every now and then. Though I would have to say that the only downside is that I don't have time to read anymore. :( I feel like I am constantly falling behind with  school work...... oh well, Love for College is > High School.
  Best,
         Veronica

Book review Twisted by Sara Shepard.

Synopsis from goodreads.:
It’s been a year since the torturous notes from A stopped and the mystery of Alison DiLaurentis’s disappearance was finally put to rest. Now seniors in high school, Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily are older, but they’re not any wiser. The Pretty Little Liars have more secrets than ever - twisted secrets that could destroy the perfect lives they’ve worked so hard to rebuild.

Aria’s jealous of her boyfriend’s new exchange student. Spencer’s getting a little too cozy with her soon-to-be-stepbrother. Hanna’s one scandalous photo away from ruining her dad’s Senate campaign. And Emily will do anything to get a swim scholarship.



Worst of all: Last spring break in Jamaica, they did something unforgivable. The girls are desperate to forget that fateful night, but they should know better than anyone that all secrets wash ashore … eventually.


My thoughts:
 When this book first came out I was a confused because I thought that Wanted(pretty little liars #8), was supposed to be the last book in the series. Though I can't really complain because I love this series! Even though we found out who A was in last series, this book will be sure to keep you on edge. There is no stoppage of drama or crazy unreasonable people. The things that happen to these girls are wild! If your a big fan of pretty little liars I have no doubt that you'll enjoy the newest installation of PLL.

This weeks question is: What ARC would you love to get your hands on right now?

A: DUHH easy question. haha. I would love love love it if I had Richelle Mead's new series, Bloodlines right now, which happens to be a spin off series of Vampire Academy. The book comes out this month ( Aug. 23) I know its so close, but I can't wait anymore! 

Here is the synopsis from Richelle Mead's Website: 

Blood doesn't lie...

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...

Q: Talk about a book that most changed or influenced your life.

A: So I know this probably will sound silly but I would have to say it was Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Before I read that book I despised the very thought of reading. I didn't understand why people would read for 'fun'. The very thought would send chills throughout my body.  After I was forced to read Twilight (against my will, in case you didn't see how I mentioned forced) I found myself wanting more. My brain wanted to adsorb more words. It was like a little tug on my heart string.  I was probably 11 or 12 at the time in middle school. (I'm in college now)   So it's been a couple years since then. Too bad the Twilight movies kinda ruined the books for me though.  

Well that's all for tonight bye guys! Have a great day.
