It is no secret that I don't like Waiting on Wednesday, nothing against the feature itself, I just have so many books I want to read I can't narrow it down!
I'm starting a new book discussion group in 2 weeks, and we are going to discuss a different genre every two weeks, since we meet biweekly, since today me and a fellow book LOVER were talking, and I realized how much I needed to talk to other book lovers, since none of my friends like reading.
So instead of WOW every Wednesday, i'll be posting a feature tentatively titled Books to Stay Away From and Books to Look At (i'll think up a new name since that one sucks, but the name is pretty self explanatory).
Since the book discussion group disscusses a certain YA genre(dystopian etc.) i'll give you recommendations and dislikes from the group, just to let you know some books you might want to add to your TBR pile and some you might wanna check off(although you might not want to value my opinion on Dystopian much, since Divergent bored me half to death, and everyone else thinks its the greatest thing since sliced bread(er, greatest dystopian since Hunger Games?)(and look at how odd this is, parentheses inside a parentheses inside a parentheses(i think that's what these are called-and i did it again).
So look forward to that feature in a few Wednesday's, and please ignore my lack of post for the next few Wednesdays!

Waiting On Wednesday #1

This week's book i'm Waiting On is....
Shine by Lauren Myracle!
I'm actually waiting for this book to arrive in the mail, also, the amazing, fantastic, spectacular Abrams books are sending me a review copy *squeeeeeeeeeel!* and the book looks so fantastic. =o
It looks really.. intense, unlike a lot of Lauren Myracle books, and so you can see for yourself, here's the summary:
When her best guy friend falls victim to a vicious hate crime, sixteen-year-old Cat sets out to discover who in her small town did it. Richly atmospheric, this daring mystery mines the secrets of a tightly knit Southern community and examines the strength of will it takes to go against everyone you know in the name of justice.
Against a backdrop of poverty, clannishness, drugs, and intolerance, Myracle has crafted a harrowing coming-of-age tale couched in a deeply intelligent mystery. Smart, fearless, and compassionate, this is an unforgettable work from a beloved author.
Doesn't it look fantabulous? Well, anyways,this is what i'm waiting on this Wednesday, please post links to your WoW's in the comments- I love reading them!
