“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week mine is The F- It List by Julie Halpern

Expected Publication: 12th of November by Feiwel & Friends
Format: Hardcover, 256 pages
Series: –
Genre: Contemporary, Realistic Fiction
ISBN13: 9781250025654

Alex’s father recently died in a car accident. And on the night of his funeral, her best friend Becca slept with Alex’s boyfriend. So things aren’t great. Alex steps away from her friendship with Becca and focuses on her family.

But when Alex finally decides to forgive Becca, she finds out something that will change her world again–Becca has cancer.
So what do you do when your best friend has cancer? You help her shave her head. And then you take her bucket list and try to fulfill it on her behalf. Because if that’s all you can do to help your ailing friend–you do it.

The F- It List sounds like a very interesting book, that I think that I might enjoy. I have’t read anything by Julie as of yet, so this will be a first. I think i would like it, as I have been liking realistic books in the last few months and I like a change ever once in a while.
What are you waiting for?

“Waiting on” Wednesday #1

Sep 11, 2013

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week it’s Wild Cards Simone Elkeles

Expected Publication: October 1st 2013 by Walker Books for Young Readers
Format: Hardcover, 288 pages
Series: Wild Cards #1
Genre: Young Adult,Contemporary,Romance, Sport
ISBN13: 9780802734372

After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.

Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain–people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?

I just love Simone Elkeles and I just cannot wait to read more from her. I love the badboy novels so this is down my alley. I am also liking the Sports novels, as well, they just seem to give a different diamagnetic to a novel.
