What Light by Jay Asher

Expected Publication: October 11, 2016

Publisher: Razorbill

Synopsis

Sierra's family runs a Christmas tree farm in Oregon—it's a bucolic setting for a girl to grow up in, except that every year, they pack up and move to California to set up their Christmas tree lot for the season. So Sierra lives two lives: her life in Oregon and her life at Christmas. And leaving one always means missing the other.

Until this particular Christmas, when Sierra meets Caleb, and one life eclipses the other.

By reputation, Caleb is not your perfect guy: years ago, he made an enormous mistake and has been paying for it ever since. But Sierra sees beyond Caleb's past and becomes determined to help him find forgiveness and, maybe, redemption. As disapproval, misconceptions, and suspicions swirl around them, Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else: true love.

Why I Can’t Wait

This sounds like a perfect winter read. I love the whole Christmas background with the romance thing sounds so magical. There is nothing I love more than a great winter romance that gives me hope, there is just something about that time of year. Plus I'm dying to see what exactly Caleb's mistake is, sounds so mysterious.

WoW Pick of the Week [6]

Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @

Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s WoW feature is:

Five Summers by Una LaMarche
Expected publication: May 16, 2013
Publisher: Razorbill

[Goodreads] Four best friends, five summers of camp memories.
The summer we were nine: Emma was branded "Skylar’s friend Emma" by the infamous Adam Loring . . .
The summer we were ten: Maddie realized she was too far into her lies to think about telling the truth . . .
The summer we were eleven: Johanna totally freaked out during her first game of Spin the Bottle . . .
The summer we were twelve: Skylar’s love letters from her boyfriend back home were exciting to all of us—except Skylar . . .
Our last summer together: Emma and Adam almost kissed. Jo found out Maddie’s secret. Skylar did something unthinkable . . . and whether we knew it then or not, five summers of friendship began to fall apart. Three years after the fateful last night of camp, the four of us are coming back to camp for reunion weekend—and for a second chance. Bittersweet, funny, and achingly honest, Five Summers is a story of friendship, love, and growing up that is perfect for fans of Anne Brashares and Judy Blume's Summer Sisters.

I so want to read this simply because it looks like a great summer read. It's a short [288 pgs] summer themed read...what could be better?
