Waiting On Wednesday (3)

WoW is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine! "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: Delirium by Lauren Oliver February 1st 2011 by HarperTeen (This is so new it doesn’t even have an official cover yet so I’m just going to use a pic of Lauren herself instead :)) From goodreads: Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -the deliria- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love. Before I fall was AMAZING I adored it and this sounds AMAZING too I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this one. Bring on Feb 2011! Feel free to leave me a Mr. Linky to your WoW’s this week in the comments!

Review for Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

First things first I want to say that this book holds a very special place in my heart. It’s one of my favourite Sarah Dessen novels (and I’ve read them all- some over and over!) and probably the book I can relate most to out of all of the many books I’ve read. Sarah Dessen bravely tackles the subject of violence in teen relationships, something I myself went through a few years back when I was 15. Now I don’t know if Sarah’s ever been through this but she gets the feelings the main character Catlin goes through spot on. This is the third time I’ve read this book and each time I fall in love with it all over it again reading parts with tears in my eyes. Caitlin’s perfect older sister Cass runs away with a boy on Caitlin’s 16th birthday which is probably the only reckless move she’s ever made in her life. Lost without her older sisters guidance Caitlin soon gets involved with bad boy Rogerson who keeps her on her toes and keeps her mind off missing her sister. But when Rogerson starts getting violent Caitlin needs her big sister more than ever, so she starts writing to Cass telling her everything that’s going on with Rogerson in the dream journal Cass gives to her before running away. She doesn’t know with Cass gone if Cass will ever get chance to read it but feeling like she’s communicating with her sister gives her comfort. With her parents wrapped up in finding her sister, her cheerleading friends Rogerson has isolated her from gone, and a missing sister Caitlin’s never felt more alone. It’s up to Caitlin and Caitlin alone to get away from Rogerson and save herself before it’s too late. This is such a brilliant book guys. I would really recommend this to any teenage girl seems as violence in teen relationships are getting higher and higher. Caitlin’s story’s so tragic and honest and I can 100 per cent vouch that this story tells it as it is. Totally recommended, 5 stars. My Rating 5/5 stars *****

Book Bloggers Hop (2)

The book bloggers hop is hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy-for-Books Hello and welcome to anyone who’s hopped onto my blog this week. This is only my second week blogging and my second week doing the hop and I just love it. Please leave me links to your blogs bellow I’m loving finding new people to follow! :) Now a new twist has been added to the hop where we answer a question which I think is great and this weeks question is… Tell us your NAME and WHY YOU STARTED BLOGGING My names Jessica and I started blogging 2 weeks ago. Before I started blogging myself I followed a lot of people anyway and thought it looked like so much fun, but always put off doing my own out of fear that no one would really be interested in what I had to say and that I wouldn’t update it as often as I’d like however so far this is proving untrue! I’ve met so many lovely people (and hope to meet more!) and have found myself updating quiet regularly and its so much fun! I hope you guys are enjoying my blog as much as I am. Happy reading! :)
