The Reading Hideaway

Waiting on Wednesday is a daily meme hosted by Jill at  Breaking the Spine.  It highlights what newly released books us bloggers are most excited to read. Title: The Fall of Five Author: Pittacus Lore Synopsis ( via Goodreads):   The Garde are finally reunited, but do they have what it takes to win the war against the Mogadorians?  John Smith—Number Four—thought that things would change once the Garde found each other. They would stop running. They would fight the Mogadorians. And they would win.  But he was wrong. After facing off with the Mogadorian ruler and almost being annihilated, the Garde know they are drastically unprepared and hopelessly outgunned. Now they’re hiding out in Nine’s Chicago penthouse, trying to figure out their next move.  The six of them are powerful, but they’re not strong enough yet to take on an entire army—even with the return of an old ally. To defeat their enemy, the Garde must master their Legacies and learn to wo...

My Reading Wishlist is a daily meme hosted by me where bloggers highlight the top three books they have on their "to-read" pile.  My Choices This Week Are:  Title: The Pledge Author: Kimberly Derting  Reason: When this book was first released, I was one of the blogs that featured a countdown on the side bar because I was excited for it to be available to the public. Ever since it has been, I haven't been able to get a copy to read yet, but I'm still eager to hear Charlaina's story.  Title: Lola & The Boy Next Door Author: Stephanie Perkins Reason: I own a copy of Anna & The French Kiss and thought it was a good read. Now, it's time for me to get to know Lola! Title: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer Author: Michelle Hodkin Reason: At one point, this book was the main focus on many book blogs I read. All that attention, grabbed my attention and I would like to know what all the hype was about.  What...

My baby, (The Reading Hideaway), is two years old today! Although this year has been slow blogging-wise, I will do my best to post more in the future.

Title: Glow Author: Amy Kathleen Ryan Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Rating: 4 Synopsis (via Goodreads):   What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?  Out in the murky nebula lurks an unseen enemy: the New Horizon. On its way to populate a distant planet in the wake of Earth's collapse, the ship's crew has been unable to conceive a generation to continue its mission. They need young girls desperately, or their zealous leader's efforts will fail. Onboard their sister ship, the Empyrean, the unsuspecting families don't know an attack is being mounted that could claim the most important among them...  Fifteen-year-old Waverly is part of the first generation to be successfully conceived in deep space; she was born on the Empyrean, and the large farming vessel is all she knows. Her concerns are those of any teenager—un...

Waiting on Wednesday is a daily meme hosted by Jill at  Breaking the Spine.  It highlights what newly released books us bloggers are most excited to read. Title: Criminal Author: Terra Elan McVoy Synopsis (via Goodreads):   Nikki’s life is far from perfect, but at least she has Dee. Her friends tell her that Dee is no good, but Nikki can’t imagine herself without him. He’s hot, he’s dangerous, he has her initials tattooed over his heart, and she loves him more than anything. There’s nothing Nikki wouldn’t do for Dee. Absolutely nothing.  So when Dee pulls Nikki into a crime—a crime that ends in murder—Nikki tells herself that it’s all for true love. Nothing can break them apart. Not the police. Not the arrest that lands Nikki in jail. Not even the investigators who want her to testify against him.  But what if Dee had motives that Nikki knew nothing about? Nikki’s love for Dee is supposed to be unconditional…but even true love has a limit. And Nikki j...
