Waiting On Wednesday: “The Geography of Me and You” by Jennifer E. Smith

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that shines a spotlight on upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
 

Coincidentally soul mates meeting in the Big Apple, with a line of postcards to follow…



 Waiting On…
Title: The Geography of Me and You
Author: Jennifer E. Smith
Genre: YA – Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 15th, 2014
Published by: Little Brown

THE STORY
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.

A
carefully charted map of a long-distance relationship, Jennifer E.
Smith’s new novel shows that the center of the world isn’t necessarily a
place. It can be a person, too.


SERIOUSLY huge fan of Jennifer E. Smith! Her books are additively amazing and always leave me with that ‘that book was SO amazing’ feeling. I can’t wait to see what The Geography Of Me and You is like in all it’s anticipated welcoming…but I already know it’s going to be up there with This Is What Happy Looks Like!

“Waiting On” Wednesday: ‘All Our Pretty Songs’ by Sarah McCarry

hosted by “Breaking The Spine”

Hi! Welcome to another ‘Waiting On’ Wednesday that I just had share with you all. As most of you know by now, this meme is hosted by Breaking The Spine and shines a spotlight on the most anticipated upcoming releases.

This week…what I’m dying to read is…
 


My “Waiting On” Wednesday Book

The first book in an exciting YA trilogy, this is the story of two best friends on the verge of a terrifying divide when they begin to encounter a cast of strange and mythical characters.

Set against the lush, magical backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, two inseparable best friends who have grown up like sisters—the charismatic, mercurial, and beautiful Aurora and the devoted, soulful, watchful narrator—find their bond challenged for the first time ever when a mysterious and gifted musician named Jack comes between them. Suddenly, each girl must decide what matters most: friendship, or love. What both girls don’t know is that the stakes are even higher than either of them could have imagined. They’re not the only ones who have noticed Jack’s gift; his music has awakened an ancient evil—and a world both above and below which may not be mythical at all. The real and the mystical; the romantic and the heartbreaking all begin to swirl together, carrying the two on journey that is both enthralling and terrifying.

And it’s up to the narrator to protect the people she loves—if she can. (-Goodreads description.)

 
The Expected publication for “All Our Pretty Songs” is: July 30th 2013 by St. Martin’s Griffin. Don’t forget to get it! I know I won’t.

This just sounds SO amazing! And the cover…well, that’s just a separate love on it’s own! I’m always drawn to the covers of books, and really we shouldn’t judge books by their covers, but that is the first thing we see before we actually read about it, and the more inviting and alluring…or pretty and polished, the more I’m going to want to see what’s inside! I’m definitely waiting on this one! 🙂
 
happy reading,

“Waiting On” Wednesday: Teardrop by Lauren Kate

hosted by “Breaking The Spine”

“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases
that everyone is eagerly anticipating and posts on their blogs! So, this is my FIRST “Waiting On” Wednesday, and I’ve got one of my post-wanted books to share from one of my favourite authors!

The book I am most anticipating to read is; ‘Teardrop’ by Lauren Kate.

Expected publication: October 22nd 2013 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers


Never, ever cry. . . . Eureka Boudreaux’s mother drilled that rule into her daughter years ago. But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn’t, who tells Eureka she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before.

But Ander doesn’t know Eureka’s darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance—a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander might be telling the truth . . . and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever imagined. From Lauren Kate comes an epic saga of heart-stopping romance, devastating secrets, and dark magic . . . a world where everything you love can be washed away. (Goodreads description.)

 
Doesn’t that sound incredible?! I love a good Lauren Kate novel, so I’m eager to get my hands on this!
What’s your most anticipated book this week? Post a comment and let me know! 🙂
 
happy reading,
