Waiting on Wednesday (15)

Waiting on Wednesday is brought to you by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This weeks pick is: Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus

It releases: July 13th 2010

Summary:

His love captivated her... his secrets might kill her.

Since her sister’s mysterious death, Persephone “Phe” Archer has been plagued by a series of disturbing dreams. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Phe enrolls at Devenish Prep in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts—the subject of her sister’s final diary entry.

After stepping on campus, Phe immediately realizes that there’s something different about this place—an unexplained epidemic that decimated the town in the 1700s, an ancient and creepy cemetery, and gorgeous boy Zach—and somehow she’s connected to it all.

But the more questions she asks and the deeper she digs, the more entangled Phe becomes in the haunting past of Shadow Hills. Finding what links her to this town…might cost her her life.

Teaser Tuesday (12)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read

Open to a random page

Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

This weeks teaser comes from Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson

The memory of the night before bubbled to the surface of Claire's mind, and her heart sank before she's even opened her eyes. Welcome to My Life As a Monster, Day One.

What did you get this week?

If I had all day to read (7)

This is a meme from Kristin at Bookworming In The 21st Century. Every month we pick a few books we hope to read during the month that we would read if we had all day to just read.

My lucky number seems to be 2. I read Linger & White Cat during the month of June. Lets see if I can do better in July.

Sorry, to be boring but some of these books will reappear until I actually read them.

1. Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

2. The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy

3. Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs

4. Perchance To Dream by Lisa Mantchev

5. Sea by Heidi R. Kling

If you could pick 5 books to read if you had all day, what would they be?
