Cover Lust (4)

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have fun plans today. As for me i'm excited to do my Cover lust post and hopefully just have a fun-filled Friday night! :) This weeks Cover lust is a a trio by Lauren henderson! Book one was Kiss me kill me, Book two was kisses and lies, and the third book Kiss in the dark, is set to be released on April 13, 2010!
COVERS: I am in love with these covers! I think they play out the books exquisitely! My favorite is kiss me kill me! The pink writing is perfect, and how their eyes are closed seem flawless! And i adore the camera view from kisses and lies! Kiss in the dark though-i still think its clever-but what the heck is she doing in water? i mean they could have done so much with the cover...but oh well its still alright! Do you Love these covers as well?
Which one is your Favorite?

Happy beach reading

Waiting on Wednesday(6)

Sorry this post is a day late! I had a crazy day yesterday! It was registration at my high school and they totally messed up my schedule! I just had a mini meltdown.. But now im a lot calmer so.....This week I'm waiting for-
Princess for hire by linsey Leavitt
Synopsis-
When an immaculately dressed woman steps out of an iridescent bubble and asks you if you'd like to become a substitute princess, do you

a) run
b) faint
c) say Yes!

For Desi Bascomb, who's been longing for a bit of glamour in her Idaho life, the choice is a definite C--that is, once she can stop pinching herself. As her new agent Meredith explains, Desi has a rare magical ability: when she applies the ancient Egyptian formula "Royal Rouge," she can transform temporarily into the exact lookalike of any princess who needs her subbing services. Dream come true, right?
Well, Desi soon discovers that subbing involves a lot more than wearing a tiara and waving at cameras. Like, what do you do when a bullying older sister puts you on a heinous crash diet? Or when the tribal villagers gather to watch you perform a ceremonial dance you don't know? Or when a princess's conflicted sweetheart shows up to break things off--and you know she would want you to change his mind?

In this hilarious, winning debut, one girl's dream of glamour transforms into something bigger: the desire to make a positive impact. And an impact Desi makes, one royal fiasco at a time.


This looks so adorable! Cant wait to read this one! Plus i pretty sure she is a Debut 2010!

Along for the ride

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen...

It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.

I was so so so EXCITED for Along for The Ride!!! But i have to say it wasn't amazingly fantastic or one of my favorites!!! It starts out really slow, and Towards the end, yeah it was good but it could have been so much better. I hated how slow it was between Auden and Eli- there was just a lot of dull relation's between the two! and then they start to get in a relation ship and then pow! she tells him off and for ten or so chapters there is no more Auden and Eli! I just wanted more Lust and Wanting from both of them I did however like the name Auden, and her relation ship with her family and step mom and lil' sister Isby! Also how Auden is recreating her childhood!!The bike idea, and relearning how to ride was cute, but I think Sarah Dessen could have done a lot better!

I'm debating between 3 and four so im just going to bump it up

4/5 Suns




What did you think of Along for the Ride??

Waiting on Wednesday(5)

Sorry about the waiting on Thursday....hahaha! Okay so this week im waiting for...The Cupcake Queen By Heather Hepler

A confection of a novel, combining big city sophistication with small town charm. When her mother moves them from the city to a small town to open up a cupcake bakery, Penny’s life isn’t what she expected. Her father has stayed behind, and Mom isn’t talking about what the future holds for their family. And then there’s Charity, the girl who plays mean pranks almost daily. There are also bright spots in Hog’s Hollow—like Tally, an expert in Rock Paper Scissors, and Marcus, the boy who is always running on the beach. But just when it looks as though Penny is settling in, her parents ask her to make a choice that will turn everything upside down again. A sweet novel about love, creativity, and accepting life’s unexpected turns.

I can not wait for this book because-hey-its about cupcakes, and I'm ADDICTED to cupcakes!! Yumm... anyways... im excited to see what the author does with a bakery and love and all the drama! Cant wait! Plus the cover is Oh-so-Cute, who doesnt love pink frosting :)
