that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My choice's for today's Waiting on Wednesday are:
Falling For you by Lisa Schroeder
Rae's always dreamed of dating a guy like Nathan. He’s nothing like her abusive stepfather—in other words, he’s sweet. But the closer they get, the more Nathan wants of her time, of her love, of her...and the less she wants to give.
As Rae’s affection for Nathan turns to fear, she leans on her friend Leo for support. With Leo, she feels lighter, happier. And possessive Nathan becomes jealous.
Then a tragedy lands Rae in the ICU. Now, hovering between life and death, Rae must find the light amid the darkness…and the strength to fight for life and the love she deserves.
Expected publication: January 1st 2013 by Simon Pulse
Splintered by A. G. Howard
Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

I want to read Splintered so badly! It looks amazing! Great choice. And thank you for stopping by my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW! Yay for Splintered! I received an ARC and I'm so psyched to get to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about Falling for You, but I'm not sure if it's my thing, since I'm pretty sure it's verse. I still might try, though.
ReplyDeleteSplintered was only okay for me. The romance made me want to throw all the things. Lots of people liked it better, though, so I hope you're one of those.
I really enjoyed Falling for you.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to read it soon! Brandi from Blkosiner’s Book Blog
OKAY..reading the synopsis for Splintered just gave me the most amazing anxious butterfly feeling. I will definitely be checking that out! Thank you so much for sharing and stopping by my WoW this week =)
