Walking Disaster Cover!

Look what I found today!

The cover of Walking Disaster!

Just in case you haven't seen it!

Here it is, in all it's glory!

And OMG! It's gorgeous!

Goodreads - Amazon - B&N

And in case you don't know what

Walking Disaster is- it's the not-

so-much-sequel/companion

novel to Beautiful Disaster by

Jamie McGuire. This one is the

same story, but with more insight

into Travis' life and from his POV.

You can read my review for

Beautiful Disaster here.

Have you pre-ordered

your copy yet?

Beautiful Disaster Special Signed Edition

Waiting On Wednesday #14!

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

[Goodreads - Amazon - B&N]

I'm sure most of us know that this is not a new release, but there is something very special about this release. For one, it's hardcover, which I believe was not previously offered. And two, it's signed!! Yes, signed! The book jacket is also a little different than the original, it's pearlized and foily looking. Only 5,000 were printed and signed by Jamie McGuire. She also said on her website that they are really signed, not stamped or copied!

I already read this book and I absolutely loved it. I have recommended it to everybody I know that reads, and even some people that don't read regularly. If you haven't read it yet, you most definitely should. You can read my review for it here.

Synopsis:

INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE.

Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Tell me, what are you

waiting on this week?

Is this edition on your

to-buy list? I hope so!

Have a great day!

Top Ten Books I'd Want On A Deserted Island

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish

This weeks topic is the top ten books you'd want

to have if you were stranded on a deserted island.

Since this is all just a thought, I hope you don't

mind if I put some series on my list and we can

all just pretend that I have a huge binder full

of all the books in that series :)

I'd have to bring the Harry Potter series because I'm only on book #4 and I'd love to finish the series and I think I could read it over and over again... Especially the first book.

I picked A Game of Thrones Series because they are HUGE books and I'm sure it would make it pretty fun and easy to pass all that time.

How could I ever live without my Walking Dead? I won't be able to get the new issues, being stuck on said island and such, but I re-read the hell out of the old ones.

I'm not quite sure why I picked this book, I suppose because it interested me a whole lot.

I could never live without Pidge and Travis! They were so perfect!

Think of a Number was a really really good suspense/murder mystery. The characters personalities were very deep and so real, and the suspense part was amazing. Hands down, the best suspense ever!

When I read Thirteen Reasons Why, I couldn't read it fast enough. But being on this island I could take it slow and just devour the hell out of this book for eternity.

Did you do a TTT?

What are your Top Ten?

Leave a link to yours

so I can check it out.

Have a great one!

Top Ten Books That Should Be Movies

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic is a rewind!

You can pick any past topic that you might have

missed or one that you just want to do again!

I picked the top ten books you think should be made into movies. This was the topic on April 12, 2011. My blog wasn't created or even thought of back then. And this is a fun subject for me. I'm always thinking if I would want it to be made into a movie or not. I think that one question is what really makes up my final decision if I should put it on my favorites list or not. And I'm obviously talking about a world where the movie would be made my way and be exactly like the book and feel just like how it played out in my head while reading it.

I haven't finished Shatter Me and What's Left of Me yet, but I'm pretty far in and I know I'm going to love the ending, and hopefully the full series for both. Looking for Alaska wasn't that great to me, but I think it would actually be a pretty good movie. All the rest I just really loved and most are on my favorites list! :)

Now I'm going to insert a few that I would want to become movies and they actually are becoming movies. I can't wait for these!

Alrighty guys! There's my list!

What's on your list?

What I Read This Summer

Guess what?! It's that time! A little late, but it's better than never. Summer is over, and it's starting to get chilly. Everyone has gone back to school, so I must do my summer wrap up. I read a lot of great stuff this summer, I didn't write a review on everything, but most I did. I'll link those somewhere. The reviews for the last few haven't went up yet, but they will be shortly.

My summer was good, but busy. We had just moved here from out of state at the end of April, and the summer somehow snuck up on me. And it came with a bunch of final unpacking and rearranging. Which is what I did. Also, finding a job and looking into schooling in the new area... All that good stuff. How was your summer?
