Waiting on Wednesday: I Was Here by Gayle Forman

 "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that you are eagerly anticipating. Today, I am waiting on:   I Was Here  by Gayle Forman !! From Goodreads : When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything—so how was there no warning? But when Cody travels to Meg’s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there’s a lot that Meg never told her. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, who broke Meg’s heart. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can’t open—until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend’s death gets thrown into question. . Gayle Forman just breaks my heart s

THE TO-BE-READ TAG!

Nereyda tagged me! 1.  How do you keep track of your TBR pile? Ha, well . . . when I find I book I want to read (if it has been released or not released), I add it to my TBR list on Goodreads.  I also add it to my amazon wishlist.  Every day I check amazon for price drops and do a lot of my book purchasing based on those price drops (unless it is something I have pre-ordered).  As for day to day, I don't really have a dedicated TBR order or pile or list . . . 2.  Is your TBR mostly print or ebook? My TBR is exclusively ebook.  I really do not read print books anymore, at all! 3.  How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next? I am exactly like Nereyda in this respect -- I read by my mood.  Am I in the mood for a certain book that I've already read or something like something I've already read -- or the weather/season might dictate what I read next, etc. etc. 4.  A book that’s been on your TBR list the longest?   I think this is the first

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he

Top Ten Book Characters That Would Be Sitting At My Lunch Table

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.  Hands down, my number one choice would be Olivia from The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher .  Let's be honest, though, I would not mind at all if Caleb joined her! 2.    One of my latest favorite books is How to Kill a Rock Star -- although I love Eliza, I really want Loring to sit at my lunch table! 3.  Um, every single one of the  Rock Chicks   please!!!! 4.  Rosalind James' Escape to New Zealand series is my favorite contemporary romance series out there right now and there isn't a main character in any of the books that I wouldn't love to sit with although I'd probably get along with Hannah best. 5.  If anyone would be a great and patient companion, it would be  Anne Elliot . 6.  Kat and Daemon from the Lux series by JLA -- probably because there are so many epic lunch room scenes in this series and I love both characters.
