Waiting on Wednesday (1/11/2012) In Too Deep by Amanda Grace and Mandy Hubbard

I never meant for anyone to get hurt. All I wanted to do that night was make a play for Carter Davis. His heartless rejection was mortifying, but people got the wrong idea when they saw me leaving his bedroom, crying. That’s how rumors of rape started. 

Now girls at school are pouring out their sympathy to me. Guys too. But not everyone’s on my side. The school has become a war zone and the threats are getting scary. What began as poetic justice has morphed into something bigger-forcing me to make a terrible choice.




Expected Publication: February 8, 2012 by Flux

Angelina's Secret
Author: Lisa Rogers
Teaser from page: 1 (Advanced Reading Copy)

Bits of her latest premonition--or nightmare, as her mother liked to call them--flashed through her mind. She could see a police car, the driver's door hanging open as the lights whirled an array of dizzying colors across the road.







Miz B hosts Teaser Tuesday every week, check her out for the official rules.  I never seem to be able to stick to the rule about only 2 sentences.

Book Beginnings on Friday: 1/6/2012


How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you would like, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be at A Few More Pages every Friday and will be open for the entire week.

Thanks to Becky at Page Turners for starting this meme and to Rose City Reader for inspiring it!

Golden City isn't your average tourist trap. Sure, it's got its tall building, and the one street everyone knows the crazies hang out on-the teens with green hair and lip piercings that tourists think are an attraction somehow.



I'm using The Rise of Renegade X for both of these lovely memes.

"That doesn't change the fact that you ruined things and now I'm over you."

She covers her eyes with her hands and sobs again.

Part of me wants to put my arms around her and comfort her and tell her I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that, and it's going to be okay.


The Friday 56
Rules:
  • Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  • Turn to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Freda's Voice
  • Post a link along with your post back to Freda's Voice
Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Friday Blog Hopping Fun (1/6/2012)


Happy Friday and welcome to one of my favorite places on the web:) I've always loved Follow Friday it's so fun to meet new bloggers. I haven't had a chance to participate in a while so this Friday and into the weekend I am making time to find some great new blogs. 

This weeks question is: Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

So not to be a party pooper but, I literally have 9 FULL bookshelves in my house with unread books. Most of the shelves are double or triple stacked too. So....I won't be counting them all out but, I will guess that there are at least 250 unread books on those shelves. I'm starting to think that maybe I have a problem!

To sign up and join in the fun and to get all of the Friday Follow rules head on over to Parajunkee she has everything need to know.

Have a GREAT weekend!
