Waiting on Wednesday- Of Scars and Stardust

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine.

After her little sister mysteriously vanishes, seventeen-year-old Claire Graham has a choice to make: stay snug in her little corner of Manhattan with her dropout boyfriend, or go back to Ohio to face the hometown tragedy she's been dying to leave behind.

But the memories of that night still haunt her in the city, and as hard as she tries to forget what her psychiatrist calls her "delusions," Claire can't seem to escape the wolf's eyes or the blood-speckled snow. Delusion or reality, Claire knows she has to hold true to the most important promise she's ever made: to keep Ella safe. She must return to her sleepy hometown in order to find Ella and keep her hallucinations at bay before they strike again. But time is quickly running out, and as Ella's trail grows fainter, the wolves are becoming startlingly real.

Now Claire must deal with her attraction to Grant, the soft-spoken boy from her past that may hold the secret to solving her sister's disappearance, while following the clues that Ella left for only her to find. Through a series of cryptic diary entries, Claire must unlock the keys to Ella's past—and her own—in order to stop another tragedy in the making, while realizing that not all things that are lost are meant to be found.

Making Up For Monday #7

Making Up for Monday is a weekly meme hosted by An Avid Reader, A Wannabe Writer

This weeks question: Have you ever read a self help book? If so, did it actually help?

I have read a self help book, on fact I've read two. The first was He's Just Not That Into you ( I was surprised that was in the self help section). I wouldn't say that it really helped me, because I didn't need the help. I just wanted to read it after I watched the movie, I will say, that I know some people who need to add that book to their shelves ASAP. The second book I read was called What Color is Your Parachute, and it's about finding a career and understanding life. It's a book that tells you it's okay to decided to change careers and it's okay if you're not sure what you want to do with you life but here are so helpful tips to assist you in figuring it out. In fact after I read that book I decided to look into library school. Although grad school is... kind of a issue, I love working in libraries, so yeah, that book did help me!!

Feature and Follow #14

Sorry guys I posted next weeks question on accident so here's this weeks question.

 

Question of the Week: If you had a time machine (i.e. TARDIS), where would you go?

 

I would go to the future. So I can be a crew member on Serenity and fly with Malcolm Reynolds and Jayne, I love Jayne. That was I get to be in the future with space ships and stuff, but we also get suspender and boots like we were in the wild wild west.

Review: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

 
 Publisher: Atria Books
Pub. Date: March 18, 2014
Format: ebook
Genre: New Adult, Romance
Source: Nook
At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one… (Goodreads)

I learn about this book reading a review that one of the bloggers I follow wrote. I can't remember who wrote the review, and I could kick myself for not making a note of it because this was a good book.

FINALLY A BOOK WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!! IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!

So basically, we have a girl Sydney who has left her roommate and her apartment because she found out her roommate was sleeping with her boyfriend. How did she find this out you ask, the guy who lived across the courtyard told her. How did they meet, he could tell that she was making up lyrics to the songs he was writing on the balcony (for his brothers band) and needed to know what they were because he had writers block (btw he could see her mouthing the words). So the guys name is Ridge and he tells Sydney about the boyfriend and roommate, Sydney sits outside with a suitcase and no where to go. She winds up in the apartment with Ridge and his two roommates until she can find somewhere to go. Now at this point, we can already tell that not only was Sydney not all that interested in her relationship with the crappy boyfriend, but she's developed a small crush on Ridge as she watched him write songs on his guitar on the balcony.

Okay, plot twist,<spoiler> Ridge is deaf. I've never read a book with a deaf character, I was so shocked when I read those words that I just kind of read them over and over and over and over. For some reason it made me feel more, my feels went crazy. As we read and Ridge and Sydney work together writing songs you can feel the tension, they both seem to really care for each other.

Plot twist, he has a girlfriend. After learning this little tid bit of information, as well as how strong of a history Ridge and his girlfriend have, we're not sure what to do. I wanted Ridge and Sydney to be together because it was obvious that Ridge cared for her, but he said from the very beginning that he wouldn't leave her.</spoiler> We watch as Ridge and Sydney literally talk about their feelings for each other and try to fight them. It was amazing, as much as I wanted to see their relationship work, it was an entirely new experience watching people try to resist their reactions to each other.

I've already released some spoilers, and I wont say how it ends, but this book was so much better than I was prepared for, this is another one of the few books I give a 5.

Books n' Blogger swap reveal

 I'm so sorry for the late posting. My computer has been in the shop so I haven't been able to do much but retweet things. Anyway, the book and blogger swap is hosted by Chaotic Goddess, and this was my first time doing it. I was partnered with Sara from The Rooster and the Sunflower, and you all should go check out her site ASAP. 

Here's what I got from Sarah.

She loved Bared to you (I read it after she sent it to me and I must say that I do too).
She wants to read The Secrets of Lily Graves
And she sent me Plus One from my list.

She also sent me a book mark of 50 books to read before you die, and a beautiful Journal which I will get a lot of use out of.

This swap was amazing, I can't wait to participate in another one!!
