Waiting On Wednesday

The List by Siobhan Vivian

An intense look at the rules of high school attraction -- and the price that's paid for them.

It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.

This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.

I love the summary of this one. The idea of how one list can determine how your life will be that year. I'm really excited as to how the eight girls stories will collide. I can't wait.

1 Year Blogoversary and Giveaway

My blog has officially turned one today! Can you believe how fast the time flies? I have had SO much fun over the past year. I've read incredible books that I never would have read otherwise. I have met incredible people, been to amazing events. Met authors and worked with publishers. It has been an amazing roller coaster.

That is not to say it hasn't been hard. There have been many stressful moments where I considered giving up but it is so worth it. As a fun reminder of all my firsts this year I thought I'd do a little timeline.

I want to thank all of you so much for all of your support. Over the past year I have gained 415 followers, had 1707 comments and written 211 posts. It is more than I could have wished for. I never expected to get so much joy out of blogging but I did. And I just want to say thank you. With a giveaway :)

Guest Reviewers

If you are a blogger then you know how quickly books stack up and how easily it is to get behind. Unfortunately this has happened to me. School, work and having a life has meant that my TBR pile has stacked up to immeasurable heights. I, however, don't want to let it stress me out and stop blogging altogether so instead I have some new recruits.


A few of my friends from school are avid readers and have agreed to help me by reading and reviews some books on my blog. They will be fortnightly probably and I WILL still be reviewing the majority of the books. I also think seeing a different perspective is nice too.


Please let me know if you like or hate this idea. You are the readers so you are the ones I want to please :) Thanks!
