It's About Love
Author: Steven Camden
Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
On-sale date: August 4, 2014

Edelweiss Summary:

He’s Luke. She’s Leia. Just like in Star Wars. Just like they’re made for each other. Same film studies course, different backgrounds, different ends of town.Only this isn’t a film. This is real life. This is where monsters from the past come back to take revenge. This is where you are sometimes the monster.But real life? Sometimes, only sometimes, it turns out just like in the movies…… maybe.

 Everyone, look at that cover. So cute and attractive.

So here's another thing about me: there are times when I relate my life to movies, books, or music. That's why I think that this book has greatness in it. It's like, the first time I've seen something like this. I also have a feeling that there are many quotes in this book. Look at the conversation thing in the cover! :D

Oh, and Star Wars, I can't really say that I'm a fan, but I enjoyed the movies! Lightsabers are awesome.

Waiting on Wednesday (6): Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme created and hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It features upcoming titles that I really look forward to.

So guys! I'm sorry for not being able to post anything last week, not even a WoW post, I'm really, really sorry. We had problems with our internet connection.

Tonight the Streets Are Ours
Author: Leila Sales
Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
On sale date: September 15, 2015

Goodreads Summary:

Seventeen-year-old Arden Huntley is recklessly loyal. Taking care of her loved ones is what gives Arden purpose in her life and makes her feel like she matters. But she's tired of being loyal to people who don't appreciate her—including her needy best friend and her absent mom. 

Arden finds comfort in a blog she stumbles upon called "Tonight the Streets Are Ours," the musings of a young New York City writer named Peter. 

When Peter is dumped by the girlfriend he blogs about, Arden decides to take a road trip to see him.
During one crazy night out in NYC filled with parties, dancing, and music—the type of night when anything can happen, and nearly everything does—Arden discovers that Peter isn't exactly who she thought he was. And maybe she isn't exactly who she thought she was, either. 

I've read the uncorrected proof, and it made me go wow. I found so many quotes and I can't wait to legally quote them! (We can't really quote from ARCs without checking the published edition.) I'm gonna make a post about my favorite quotes from this book. 

Plus, I'm really desperate for more Peter. I need to see if Leila Sales added some more! It's gonna make me even more happy. (Because I'm already happy with it.) HE'S BOOKISH AND CHILL AND HAWT.

So my review will be up sometime in August or early September. On or before the on sale date. :))

P.S.: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PETER. 

Waiting on Wednesday (5): The Lies About Truth, The Distance From Me To You (IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme created and hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. This features upcoming titles that I really really really look forward to.

HI!!! It's my thirteenth birthday, so I'm gonna wait for two books for a special WoW post! :) It's actually my fifth week doing this so it's like a mini milestone. I really took a long time trying to decide on what I'll wait for this week, and finally...

Waiting on Wednesday (4): This Raging Light by Estelle Laure

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme features upcoming titles that I really look forward to.

This Raging Light
Author: Estelle Laure
Publisher: Houghton Miffin Harcourt
To be published on December 22, 2015

Edelweiss Summary:

Can the best thing happen at the worst time?

Her dad went crazy. Her mom left town. She has bills to pay and a little sister to look after. Now is not the time for level-headed seventeen-year-old Lucille to fall in love. But love—messy, inconvenient love—is what she’s about to experience when she falls for Digby Jones, her best friend’s brother. With blazing longing that builds to a fever pitch, Estelle Laure’s soulful debut will keep readers hooked and hoping until the very last page.

Waiting on Wednesday (3): A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern

A Step Toward Falling
Author: Cammie McGovern
To be published on October 6, 2015

Summary:

Cammie McGovern follows up her breakout young adult debut, Say What You Will, with this powerful and unforgettable novel about learning from your mistakes, and learning to forgive. 

Told in alternating points of view, A Step Toward Falling is a poignant, hopeful, and altogether stunning work that will appeal to fans of Jennifer Niven, Robyn Schneider, and Jandy Nelson. 

Emily has always been the kind of girl who tries to do the right thing—until one night when she does the worst thing possible. She sees Belinda, a classmate with developmental disabilities, being attacked. Inexplicably, she does nothing at all. 

Belinda, however, manages to save herself. When their high school finds out what happened, Emily and Lucas, a football player who was also there that night, are required to perform community service at a center for disabled people. Soon, Lucas and Emily begin to feel like maybe they're starting to make a real difference. Like they would be able to do the right thing if they could do that night all over again. But can they do anything that will actually help the one person they hurt the most?

I was looking for some titles to request on Edelweiss when I saw a gorg cover. When I looked more closely, I saw something- Cammie McGovern. I've read her YA debut Say What You Will and I liked it.
(A giant thank you to Stay Bookish for the SWYW giveaway. First win ever!)

This looks interesting and the plot can make me want to read this without the author being Cammie McGovern. This one's a romance novel too! (I've been waiting on three Wednesdays for romance-ish books so...)

Its tagline thingy- Sometimes the worst thing to do is nothing at all - I LOVE IT. I also loooove the fonts used in the cover! (They're actually what made the cover attractive to me!) Now, I look forward to all of Cammie's YA works partly because of the covers (and the tagline thingies!).

Waiting on Wednesday (2): Madly by Amy Alward

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. 

This meme features upcoming releases (books!) that I really really really look forward to! :)

Madly

Author: Amy Alward

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

To be published on September 29, 2015

Summary:

Samantha may be falling for the beloved of the princess she is sent to save in this start to a hilarious, adventurous, and sweetly romantic trilogy.

When Samantha is summoned to the royal court of Nova for a secret mission, it’s her chance to put her training to the test: Princess Evelyn has taken an illegal love potion with disastrous effects, and Samantha, like her ancestors before her, is great at mixing potions. She may not be one of the naturally Talented—those who can heal or transform at the wave of their hands—but she is skilled nonetheless, and determined to find an antidote and cure Princess Evelyn. 

The problem? Princess Evelyn took the love potion to make her best friend Zain fall for her—and it’s Zain who Samantha keeps encountering on her hunt for antidote ingredients. As forbidden sparks between them fly, Samantha is forced to wonder: will curing Princess Evelyn doom her own chance at love?

 Here's another thing about me: I have a thing for potions! I used to mix shampoo, liquid soap, and water to create my "potion." Some of our plants died because of that. I also "brewed" some more crazy stuff.

Potions seem magical. They are magical, right?

And I love romance novels. Potions plus romance? Bingo. The cover and the colors- just perfect. I love it.

Madly is the first of The Potion Trilogy, and I want need this one.
