What do early readers have to say about WAIT FOR YOU? “J. Lynn creates a wonderful cast of characters that will make you laugh, swoon, and cry. Cam stole my heart.” – Cora Carmack, NYTimes and USA TODAY Bestselling Author of LOSING IT “For the love of all that is Cameron without a shirt on! Wait for You will have you laughing out loud, fanning yourself and anxiously waiting to know what will happen next.” – Molly McAdams, NYTimes and USA TODAY Bestselling Author of FROM ASHES and TAKING CHANCES “I don't think I have ever read a NA Contemporary novel with as much depth as this one. It really moved me and by the end I was just speechless over how inspirational and uplifting it was as well as being sexy and cute and funny and emotional.” - K Books “Wait For You is uniquely different from anything else J. Lynn's written but it might possibly be her best work yet.” – Jenuine Cupcakes “For all of you in love with Aiden and Daemon, PREPARE YOURSELVES! Your heart will ha
Waiting on Wednesday  "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.   Time After Time (Time Between Us #2) by Tamara Ireland Stone Publication: October 8, 2013 By : Disney-Hyperion This co ver is gorgeous! Calling Anna and Bennett’s romance long distance is an understatement: she’s from 1995 Chicago and he’s a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn't. And they found a way to stay together, against all odds. It’s not a perfect arrangement, though, with Bennett unable to stay in the past for more than brief visits, skipping out on big chunks of his present in order to be with Anna in hers. They each are confident that they’ll find a way to make things work...until Bennett witnesses a single event he never should have

  Welcome To Jenuine Cupcakes This stop on the Things I Can't Forget Blog Tour! *hands you a cupcake* and * scrapes all my green beans onto Matt's tray* Au thor: Miranda Kenneally By: Sourcebooks Fire Publication: March 2013 ISBN: 978-1-4022-7190-8 / Ages 13+ Some Rules Were Meant To Be Broken. Kate Kelly has always been labeled the good girl. Too good, according to some people at school—although they have no idea the guilty secret she carries. Kate turned her back on everything she’s been taught to help her best friend Emily, who accidentally got pregnant. And the guilt over her decision is weighing on her. This summer, she’s a counselor at Cumberland Creek summer camp, and she wants to put the past behind her. Unexpectedly, she runs into Matt – the first guy she ever kissed, and he’s gone from a geeky songwriter who loved The Hardy Boys to a buff lifeguard who loves to flirt – with her. He’s inspiring feelings in her that make he
Mini-Challenge #3 One of my FAVORITE books is Saving June by the extremely talented Hannah Harrington.  Part of the reason I loved that book (besides Jake of course) had to do with the music.  I can't sing to save my life (or anyone else's for that matter) but I don't let that stop me from enjoying it and when it's combined with a book it's like a match made in Heaven!    Saving June's playlists are a fantastic mix of old, new and indie.  Most of the bands/songs I could already sing by heart but I was introduced to some new flavors too like the band, Blind Pilot and I will forever equate their lead singer's voice with that of Jake Tolan . *swoons*   Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum  1) Start Me Up- The Rolling Stones 2) O Sweet Nothing- Velvet Underground 3) Nights In White satin- the moody blues 4) Stairway To Heaven- Led Zepplin 5) Gloomy Sunday- Billie Holiday 6) Where Is My Mind- The Pixies 

Broken Wings (Angel Eyes #2) by Shannon Dittemore

Author: Shannon Dittemore Publication: February 19, 2013 By: Thomas Nelson Fiction 4 Stars! Giant angels with metal wings and visible song. A blind demon restored from the pit of darkness. And a girl who has never felt more broken. Brielle sees the world as it really is: a place where the Celestial exists side by side with human reality. But in the aftermath of a supernatural showdown, her life begins to crumble. Her boyfriend, Jake, is keeping something from her—something important. Her overprotective father has started drinking again. He’s dating a much younger woman who makes Brielle’s skin crawl, and he’s downright hostile toward Jake. Haunting nightmares keep Brielle from sleeping, and flashes of Celestial vision keep her off kilter. What she doesn’t know is that she’s been targeted. The Prince of Darkness himself has heard of the boy with healing in his hands and of the girl who sees through the Terrestrial Veil. When he plucks the blind demon, Damien, from the

Well right now I'm obsessed with The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter, but chances are as time goes by and that infatuation subsides, it'll still be a favorite.
