Having recently read and reviewed On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves, I knew Covet had to be on my WLW this week.  I absolutely adored On the Island, and I'm excited to read more by Ms. Graves.  Covet is scheduled to release Fall of 2012, so we don't have too long to wait!  Be sure to add this to your Goodread TBR! 

What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else?

Chris and Claire Canton’s marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire.

Daniel Rush had it all, until a tragic accident took away everything he cherished. A chance meeting with Claire sets in motion a chain of events that will leave three people questioning their choices and dealing with the aftermath of their decisions.

Ok, so I just finished reading and reviewing (and gushing over!) What A Boy Wants and What A Boy Needs by Nyrae Dawn, so what better book to highlight on Wish List Wednesday this week than Freeing Carter.  It sounds so good!  Add it to your TBR at Goodreads. 

His whole life Carter’s fought to hold it together: To help Mom run their store. To be there for his special needs sister, Sara, and be the perfect boyfriend Mel wants. To dominate on the basketball court—the only place he ever feels free. And to carry Mom up the stairs when she’s too smashed to make it on her own.

It isn't like she has a problem. Mom loves them. If she doesn't drink every day, she's not really an alcoholic, right?

Wrong.

Then Kira Dawson, a girl with a bipolar wardrobe and rotating hairstyles comes to town. Somehow, she sees the truths he hides from the world. “You have skeletons, too, Carter Shaw. Don’t think I don’t know it.” For the first time, he wants someone to see his inner scars—to really know him.

When his mom finally goes too far, will Carter be able to man-up, even if it means turning his back on her and stepping out from behind the façade he’s fought so hard to keep in place?

This week I would  like to highlight All the Broken Pieces by Cindi Madsen.  This book sounds amazing!!  Now you know I have to mention the cover.  Isn't this just the neatest picture ever!  I wonder which one is the real one!  Unfortunately we're going to have to wait awhile for this one.  It's not set to release until December 11th.  It's definitely going on the top of my Wish List!

What if your life wasn’t your own?

Liv comes out of a coma with no memory of her past and two distinct, warring voices inside her head. Nothing, not even her reflection, seems familiar. As she stumbles through her junior year, the voices get louder, insisting she please the popular group while simultaneously despising them. But when Liv starts hanging around with Spencer, whose own mysterious past also has him on the fringe, life feels complete for the first time in, well, as long as she can remember.

Liv knows the details of the car accident that put her in the coma, but as the voices invade her dreams, and her dreams start feeling like memories, she and Spencer seek out answers. Yet the deeper they dig, the less things make sense. Can Liv rebuild the pieces of her broken past, when it means questioning not just who she is, but what she is?

I can't wait to get my hands on Throne of Glass!  I love how tough the girl on the cover looks, and I can't resist a book with a good strong heroine.  This one looks so good!  Top of my TBR list!!

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

This week I am highlighting a book I am so excited for!  I can't wait until September 18th so I can get my hands on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater!  I am a huge fan of Maggie's. I really enjoyed her Wolves of Mercy Falls series, and I loved The Scorpio Races.  I know this new series is going to be just as amazing!  The cover is pretty awesome too.  So, click on the link above and add this one to your Goodreads Wish List!

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

This week I'm highlighting Before I Wake by Rachel Vincent.  I absolutely LOVE the Soul Screamers Series and I have been waiting for this book for far, far too long!



I died on a Thursday-killed by a monster intent on stealing my soul. The good news? He didn't get it. The bad news? Turns out not even death will get you out of high school... Covering up her own murder was one thing, but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected. After weeks spent "recovering," she's back in school, fighting to stay visible to the human world, struggling to fit in with her friends and planning time alone with her new reaper boyfriend. But to earn her keep in the human world, Kaylee must reclaim stolen souls, and when her first assignment brings her face-to-face with an old foe, she knows the game has changed. Her immortal status won't keep her safe. And this time Kaylee isn't just gambling with her own life.

This week I would like to highlight My Heart For Yours by Jolene B. Perry & Stephanie Campbell.  If you're a frequent reader of my blog you know that I 'judge a book by it's cover'.  If the cover isn't enough to catch my attention I'll pass the book by without even reading the blurb.  I know that's not fair, but it is what it is.  At first glace there's nothing special about this cover, but if you look closely you can see that the heart is drawn on foggy glass.  Something about that snagged me.  Then I read the blurb!  This is my kind of book!

Another thing that peeks my interest with this one is that it's written by more than one author.  Usually that wouldn't be a selling point, but it seems each author wrote a different point-of-view!  Interesting!  Here's a quote from Savannah over at Books with Bite (from her Goodreads review):

"What I loved most about this book is the awesome plot line. Normally, I don't like point of view switches especially if they are not done well. The way both authors wrote each point of view it flowed so well together like peanut butter and jelly."

So, are you sold yet?!  Well, here's some more good news...the ebook is only $2.99!!  So go get it! Yes, now!



For Tobin and Delia, everything was always equal.

A bargain, a trade, a deal to be struck.

A kiss for a kiss.
Your shirt for mine.
Break my heart, I’ll break yours.

Their disastrous split was no different. Tobin’s spent the last year pretending Delia never existed, and Delia’s been in D.C., pretending to be anything but the country girl that she is.

When tragedy brings her back to town, Tobin and Delia realize that time apart hasn't healed either one of them. But staying away from each other is harder than they imagined, especially in small town Louisiana, and old feelings are quickly brought back to the surface.

In the mess they’ve created, is there anything to be salvaged of a love that they both thought would be forever?

Every Wednesday I highlight a book that I've recently added to my ever growing to-be-read pile. I know that I'll never get through them all, but it's nice to have a Wish List in place! The ones highlighted here are newly released or have upcoming release dates.

This week I would like to highlight Unbreak My Heart by Melissa Walker.  I guess I'm just a sucker for a good cover, but I love this one!  After reading the synopsis I knew it had to be this weeks highlight.  And, since it was released yesterday you can grab your copy now!!


From Goodreads:
Sophomore year broke Clementine Williams’ heart. She fell for her best friend’s boyfriend and long story short: he’s excused, but Clem is vilified and she heads into summer with zero social life.

Enter her parents’ plan to spend the summer on their sailboat. Normally the idea of being stuck on a tiny boat with her parents and little sister would make Clem break out in hives, but floating away sounds pretty good right now.

Then she meets James at one of their first stops along the river. He and his dad are sailing for the summer and he’s just the distraction Clem needs. Can he break down Clem’s walls and heal her broken heart?

Told in alternating chapters that chronicle the year that broke Clem’s heart and the summer that healed it, Unbreak My Heart is a wonderful dual love story that fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Susane Colasanti will flock to.

This week I'd like to highlight What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen.  The cover is what first drew me to this book, but after reading the blurb I have to say it sounds exciting!  Can't wait to get my hands on this one, and since it was released on May 1st hopefully that will be sooner rather than later!



“Don’t even think of leaving… I will find you,” he whispered. “Guaranteed.”

Sara and her mom have a plan to finally escape Sara’s abusive father. But when her mom doesn’t show up as expected, Sara’s terrified. Her father says that she’s on a business trip, but Sara knows he’s lying. Her mom is missing—and her dad had something to do with it.

With each day that passes, Sara’s more on edge. Her friends know that something’s wrong, but she won’t endanger anyone else with her secret. And with her dad growing increasingly violent, Sara must figure out what happened to her mom before it’s too late…for them both.
