Wishing & Waiting... ♥

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that highlights upcoming releases we're excited about.

There are, as you know, books coming out left and right that we all want to read. One I am looking most forward to is... 

I am uber excited for this one. I'm curious to see how she ends the series. :)

~ Goodreads Description ~

One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth’s #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

 

Wishlist Wednesday is a meme hosted by Pen to Paper where you post a book that has been on your wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that you can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto your wonderful shelves.

What do I want to add to my shelf? So many choices. This time, I'll go with...

 

 I *loved* this book and yet I don't own it. I want to own it, which makes me sad. I want to live in it again, and again, and again. :)

~ Goodreads Description ~

 Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

 

What books are you wishing and waiting for?

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a Top Ten topic for you to create your list, then you share it on their post so others can find you. :)

  ♥ Top Ten Characters I Would Crush On...

If I Were Also a Fictional Character ♥

Okay, I admit it. I fall in and out of love a lot. Seriously. But, in my defense, if the authors weren't so damn good at creating amazing stories and characters, that wouldn't happen. Just sayin'.

 

Oh, Sean Kendrick. How I loved your determination, your brokenness, your unconditional love for Corr... and how you were willing to throw it all away for Puck.

Augustus Waters... how you broke my heart in The Fault in the Stars. Not true. You shattered it into a million tiny pieces. You make me love you with your optimism, your honesty, your quirks, and then you leave me. Your spirit was contagious and will live on for years to come.

Peeta. It was always Peeta. It will always be Peeta. I mean, anyone who would give up their bread, risk their own well-being, make me believe in new beginnings? Yeah, my heart would belong to him.

Dash... he played the game. An ultimate risk taker, someone who took a chance on love, completely in the dark.

Ah, Noah Calhoun... anyone who can love like that, so completely, without reservation, would definitely have my heart, no matter how often we end up yelling at one another.

Gansey. I can't help but love him. He's so dedicated to what he wants, what he believes, that he'll just keep pushing and pushing. Never giving up. There's something about him that's so... intriguing.

Tracks me down after I send him a million mixed signals and leave him? Spends the entire night with me despite it all? Yeah, I'll take that.

Henry... a love that transcends time? Someone that dedicated could definitely win my heart.

Jeb, someone who would follow me down the rabbit hole, no questions asked?  Or would it be the mysterious, broken one? Nope. I'd go with the one that falls with me.








 Alex... Alex... Alex. (I haven't read Requiem yet, so this is based entirely on this first book.)  Any guy who could get me to fall in love despite it being a 'disease', who would teach me what it means to feel, who helps me escape not only the controlling arm of society but the constraints I set on myself... yeah. My heart's his.

I imagine I could go one, but I will actually stop at ten this week. I could give some honorable mentions, and I even had them, but I'm good with this one. 

What about you? Who are your book boyfriends?

Smiles,

Memorable Monday ~ The Fault in Our Stars

 

Memorable Monday is a meme hosted by Escape in a Good Book.  I'm excited to join in on this one because I love quotes, which was the driving force behind the creation of Memorable Mondays.  I thank the ladies at Escape in a Good Book.

So... how do you participate?  It's simple ~

1) Share a quote that has captured your interest lately in a Memorable Monday post on your blog.

2) Come back here and leave the link to your post in the comment box below.  If you don't have a blog, I'd still love to hear read your quote.  Leave it in the comment box instead of a link to a non-existent blog.  :)

3) Visit other participants if you have time.  It's always nice to have visitors.  There's no overstaying your welcome this way, and they don't have to offer the obligatory drinks.  Or clean.

4) If you tweet your posts, feel free to use the hashtag #MemorableMonday.

This week's choice:
"As he read, I fell in love the way  you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."

~The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

  

Sadly, I haven't read anything that just had me dying to share it in the past week, so I thought I'd jump back to one of my all time favorite books and pick one there. :)


Hope you all have had a great Monday!




Smiles,
B
