Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine . Each week bloggers participate to share a book they can't wait to get their hands on. This week my pick is The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle Expected Publication Date: August 20, 2013 by Amulet Books For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now . . . not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn't even know what they are? Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be. And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer...

Forever Too Far (Too Far #3) By: Abbi Glines Published: June 9, 2013 by Abbi Glines Kindle, 304 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Rush promised her forever... but promises can be broken. Torn between his love for his family and his love for Blaire, Rush has to find a way to save one without losing the other. In the end one has to be more important. Letting go isn’t easy. Blaire believed in her fairytale... but no one can live in a fantasy. Her love for Rush and desire to have a family keep her believing that they can find a way for this to work. Until she has to make the right decision for her and the baby. Even if it breaks her heart. Can they find the forever that they both want or has it all just gone... too far? My Review: I will probably never tire of Rush and Blaire's story.  Their love story is among the epic kind, not to mention incredibly hot.  At the end of book 2 Blaire is pregnant with Rush's baby and sh...

Bait   (An Order of the Spirit Realm #1) By: K.C. Blake Published: April 24, 2013 387 pages Genre: YA Paranormal / Urban Fantasy Source: Free ebook copy from the author in exchange for my honest review (this review is part of the Bait Summer Long Book Tour ) ( Goodreads / Amazon / Smashwords ) Summary: Ghosts, a reaper, and a rock star. At sixteen Bay-Lee is not your typical girl. She doesn't even try to fit in at school. What's the point when she'll be moving to a new place within a few months? She's lived her whole life on the run, hiding from monsters. Then a reaper uses her closet to cross over from the Spirit Realm. It has a message for her.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine . Each week bloggers participate to share a book they can't wait to read. Fear of Falling by S.L. Jennings Expected Publication Date: July 18, 2013 “Don’t worry,” he smiled, pulling me into the hard warmth of his chest. “I’ve got you. I’ll always catch you when you fall.” And just like that, Blaine had staked his claim on the untouched part of me that no living soul had ever moved. He had captured every fear, every reservation, and crushed them in the palm of his inked hand. I can’t remember the last time I felt completely safe. Security seemed more like a luxury to me, reserved for those who were fortunate enough to have picture perfect childhoods. For those who didn’t bear the ugly scars that keep me bound in constant, debilitating fear. I’ve run from that fear my entire life. But when I met him, for once, I couldn’t run anymore. He scared the hell out of me in a way that excited every fiber o...

Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . "The goal is to increase blog followers and make new friends." Q. Have you broken up with a series?  If so which one and why? Ooh, good question this week!  Two series come to mind that I dropped like hot potatoes.   House of Night by P.C. and Kristin Cast and Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz. I read the first 9 books in the House of Night series and even loved it at first but grew increasingly frustrated and tired of the series about book 4.  I kept reading hoping things would get better and because part of me wanted to know what happened to the characters.  After book 9, Destined, I just didn't have any energy or desire to continue on with the series.  See my review for Destined  here . Blue Bloods is very similar.  Loved it at first and loved the characters but it too became ridiculous and repetitive.  The last book I read was #5, Mis...

Shadow and Bone (The Grisha #1) By: Leigh Bardugo Published: June 5, 2012 by Henry Holt and Co. 356 pages Source: Personal Library, Hardback copy ( Goodreads / Amazon / Book Depository ) Summary: The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.

Cat Thursday is a weekly post hosted by The True Book Addict . You can join in by posting a favorite LOL cat pic, famous cat art, or even share pics of your own cat(s). Don't forget to share your link in the linky post on the hosts page. For those of you who have been following my blog this year or these Cat Thursday posts you will know that my sweet kitty of 14.5 years passed away in January.  Not a day goes by that his sweet face doesn't make me smile (he is still featured as my iPhone background).  But I am REALLY itching to get another pet.  I miss the warmth and joy animals bring. I'm much more a cat person than a dog person but even puppies sound good right now - and I KNOW I must have lost my mind because puppies are SOOOOO much more work than kitties!!!  I'm waiting on the right kitty to touch my heart just like my Luckie Bear did and that hasn't happened yet.   Kitties are the best snuggle buddies when reading!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine . Each week bloggers participate to share a book they can't wait to read.

Loc page 220 Teaser #2:  "The problem with wanting," he whispered, his mouth trailing  along my jaw until it hovered over my lips, "is that it makes us weak."

Sunday Post is a weekly post hosted by Kimberly at The Caffeinated Book Reviewer . Bloggers participate each week to share any books received and book news from their week. Before I get into my book news for the week, I have a little rant I just have to get off my chest.  When I participate in a meme what I look for most is consistency with the host.  If the meme is set up to be every week on a certain day, and I put forth the effort and time to participate for 30+ weeks consistently, then I don't want to come to your site to link up week after week and never have it available to do so with no explanation ever as to why it just mysteriously disappeared.  I can not begin to convey how frustrating and disappointing that is to me as a blogger and a follower of blogs.  One time, okay, maybe you forgot?!?  But then a switch in host who still hasn't posted it for 2 weeks?  I'm thinking forgetfulness isn't the cause.  That's alright though, I'm ...
