Waiting on Wednesday

Shift (Shade #2)
by Jeri Smith-Ready

Waiting Until ...
May 3, 2011

Aura's life is anything but easy. Her boyfriend Logan died, and his slides between ghost and shade have left her reeling. Aura knows that he needs her now more than ever. She loves Logan, but she can't deny her connection to the totally supportive, totally gorgeous Zachary. And she's not sure that she wants to.

Logan and Zachary will fight to be the one by her side, but Aura needs them both to uncover the mystery of her past—the mystery of the Shift.

As Aura's search uncovers new truths, she must decide whom to trust with her secrets...and her heart.

2011 Debut Author Challenge

Alright, so this year I failed miserably at keeping up with my reading challenges. As a matter of fact, I just gave up on them. I still read a lot ... just don't keep track of them very well. However, that was when I didn't take this blog too seriously. Now, it's a pretty serious thing.

For 2011, I've decided to fully participate in The Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge. Bloggers and non-bloggers alike can participate in this challenge - the only rule(s) being that you have to read a minimum of 12 books on the list and they MUST be from debut authors. I'm pretty excited about it, as I have already received a couple of these books to review any way.

I've only composed my list for the first three months, but I already have over 12. So, I thought I'd go ahead and share my list. The books I'm wanting to read are:

January
Unearthly, by Cynthia Hand
Across the Universe, by Beth Revis
Vesper, by Jeff Sampson
The Water Wars, by Cameron Stracher
Choker, by Elizabeth Woods

February
Angelfire, by Courtney Allison Moulton
A Touch Mortal, by Leah Clifford
Haven, by Kristi Cook
Darkness Becomes Her, by Kelly Keaton

March
Wake Unto Me, by Lisa Cach
Wither, by Lauren DeStefano
Entwined, by Heather Dixon
Falling Under, by Gwen Hayes


So, that's what I have so far. I'll probably make a tab for these books and their reviews later on. I'll keep you all updated!
