Waiting On Wednesday: Waiting for You

WoW is weekly meme created by Jill at Breaking The Spine in which bloggers can share books they're excited to get soon :)
 
 
Waiting For You
by Shey Stahl
 

Bailey Gray is tired of her perfectly planned life. Everything about her life has been organized and lived out to the expectations set of her parents. She is the class valedictorian, has perfect grades, the perfect friends, a perfect boyfriend, basically perfect life...or so everyone thought. That's when she realizes the path planned isn't always the path chosen.
On graduation day she makes a decision. One that changes everything she thought she knew about her intended future.
On a whim, she runs away with the town rebel, Dylan Wade, in search of the unknown.
Dylan Wade isn't looking to run away from anything.
He knows what he wants as he's been waiting on it for years.
On a journey to find the unknown, they discover a friendship they once knew along the open highway and have not a care in the world. Between the yellow and white lines of the heated summer asphalt, a spark draws them together as Dylan's past and Bailey future try to ripe them apart.
Could it be that Dylan and his GTO are exactly what her perfectly planned life needs?
GOODREADS



What an appropiate title to be waiting on, don't you think?
And I absolutely love the cover,
and a road trip with the town's resident bad boy is always intriguing!

New Year Resolutions

Hello, people.
Are you sharing your new year resolutions? if you are then don't hesitate and send me a link so I can stop by too :)
 
Here are mine:
 
1. Be Agressive. B-e Agressive.
This one I learned from Bring It On but it doesn't make it any less important, this past year I let many opportunities pass because I wasn't agressive enough. I'll try to stop be a wimp.
 
 
2. Be more organized.
I am organized but sometimes something slips off my mind and next thing I know I've erased all the reviews I worked on during my christmas break (true story).
 
 
3. Be a little less pretentious.
I am a well-known bragger and a big show-off and I bet everyone at the hospital wanted to murder me this past semester so I'll try to keep my mouth shut this year.
 
 
4. Write shorter/better reviews.
I knowwww. This might not be possible, but I'll try my best.
 
 
5. Get out of my confort zone more often.
This includes my reading habits. Apparently all I read is contemporary haha.
 
 
6. Loose weight.
Classic. I don't know any 20-year-old who is at least ok with her weight.
 

Waiting on Wednesday: Unravel

Happy new year y'all!
It's 2013 already and y'all know what it means, it means all the 2013-releases we've been waiting for are finally coming our way. And if that doesn't make you happy I dont know what will :B

UNRAVEL
by Calia Read
 
If you were given the chance to rewrite a wrong, would you?  
For Naomi Carradine, going home for Christmas break was supposed to be a relaxing time. Once she's back home though, she realizes that her once content family is now a wreck.
 But none of that compares to the confusion that is thrust her way when she finds an old picture. Soon she is twisted through time, and her picture to the past is now a reality. She realizes that she was sent back because of one person. Alexander Ackermann.
 
The hatred Naomi's grandfather has set on Alexander's family boarders on insanity. But how far does hate go before it’s impossible to live with the consequences? Can Naomi stop it without altering her entire existence? What happens shows her there’s so much more behind a picture.
 
 
 
 
I can think of a few wrongs I would like to rewrite.
And doesn't this one sound sooo romantic? :D
