Waiting on Wednesday (58) – Take a Bow
Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it’s been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates. Carter has been acting since he was a baby, and isn’t sure how to admit that he’d rather paint than perform. The Senior Showcase is going to make or break each of the four, in a funny, touching, spectacular finale that only Elizabeth Eulberg could perform.
Supernaturally by Kiersten White
Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore
Waiting on Wednesday (57) – Tempest
Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy . . . who just happens to be able to travel through time. It’s all just harmless fun until the day Jackson witnesses his girlfriend, Holly, get fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years, but it’s not long before the people who shot Holly come looking for him. And these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit (or kill) this powerful young time-traveler. Jackson must decide how far he is willing to go to save Holly . . . and the entire world.
Love Story by Jennifer Echols + Giveaway!
Thanks to Big Honcho Media, I have TWO copies of Love Story to giveaway! Here is a little more about the book:
She’s writing about him. He’s writing about her. And everybody is reading between the lines.
For Erin Blackwell, majoring in creative writing at the New York City college of her dreams is more than a chance to fulfill her ambitions-it’s her ticket away from the tragic memories that shadow her family’s racehorse farm in Kentucky. But when she refuses to major in business and take over the farm herself someday, her grandmother gives Erin’s college tuition and promised inheritance to their maddeningly handsome stable boy, Hunter Allen. Now Erin has to win an internship and work late nights at a local coffee shop to make her own dreams a reality. She should despise Hunter . . . so why does he sneak into her thoughts as the hero of her latest writing assignment?
Then, on the day she’s sharing that assignment with her class, Hunter walks in. He’s joining her class. And after he reads about himself in her story, her private fantasies about him must be painfully clear. She only hopes to persuade him not to reveal her secret to everyone else. But Hunter devises his own creative revenge, writing sexy stories that drive the whole class wild with curiosity and fill Erin’s heart with longing. Now she’s not just imagining what might have been. She’s writing a whole new ending for her romance with Hunter . . . except this story could come true.

July is NetGalley Month!
Emily from Red House Books is hosting a NetGalley month. This is something I could sooooo use. You have no idea. I have so many eGalley’s from NetGalley that I desperately need to read and I’m hoping this will help kick my butt into gear.
Basically the gist of NetGalley month is very simple: Read as many NetGalley books as you can in a month. Pretty simple. You can also win prizes from participating! Yay! To learn more about July as NetGalley month you can visit Emily’s post explaining it all here.
My goal is to read 7 books from NetGalley as of right now. I might add more to this list, but I’m gonna start with 7.
The 7 books are:Blood by K.J. Wignall
Tris and Izzy by Mette Ivie Harrison
Ashes by Isla J. Bick
Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
The Poisoned House by Michael Ford
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz
Sharks & Boys by Kristen Tracy
