Synopsis

Lucy and Owen meet somewhere between the tenth and eleventh floors of a New York City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. After they’re rescued, they spend a single night together, wandering the darkened streets and marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power is restored, so is reality. Lucy soon moves to Edinburgh with her parents, while Owen heads out west with his father.

Lucy and Owen’s relationship plays out across the globe as they stay in touch through postcards, occasional e-mails, and — finally — a reunion in the city where they first met.

What am I waiting?

This sounds really cute and fluffy. I haven’t read anything from Jennifer but cannot wait to read this.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Mar 25, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

This week was fun and sad at the same time, I want so many things some that will take years for me to get but hey I will hopefully get them. (These are in no particular order)

1. Attend BEA: Aka BookExpo America, this is pretty much the event that I need to go to NEED. It would be amazing to go to this event, sadly as I live in Australia it’s going to take a while for me to get there.

2. Grow a ‘successful’ blog: By successful blog, I mean one that I am happy having, one that people love, that I love.

3. Start and finish more series: There is so many series that I want to read ( Shatter Me, The Lunar Chronicles and so many more.) There are also series that I need to finish (Pushing the Limits and more)

4. Work in publishing: It’s my dream job to work in publishing, so it would be amazing to work for a publishing house

5. Meet more authors – I have meet a few authors in the last few years; Samantha Shannon, Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner and a few more. I love meeting authors, there is something about it, being able to met author.

6. Write my own book: I have always loved writing and to be able to write my own novel would be pretty much the most amazing thing I could ever do. I know it’s going to take a while but I hope to get there.

7. Have more singed books: I LOVE signed books. There is something about having signed books by the author that just makes me love the book even more. I pretty much cried when i received my signed The Fault in Our Stars

8. Have a reading room: When I buy my house or even build it, I want a reading room, with bookshelf all along the walls, with comfy coaches and with a window seat.

9. Meet more fellow bloggers: I love meeting bloggers that I talk to online, it’s really amazing meeting people, wired but awesome.

So that is it for this weeks Top Ten, yes it wasn’t 10 but close. Hope you enjoyed. Don’t forget to follow my Facebook page and on bloglovin for more from me. You can also subscribe to through email. Check it out in the sidebar.
