Dead Is a Battlefield By: Marlene Perez
Summary (From Goodreads): Jessica Walsh is starting her freshman year at Nightshade High and trying to forget about the tragic events surrounding her brother’s graduation. She wants to have a normal high school experience. But that’s easier said than done in Nightshade.

When a new boy shows up at school, the girls are infected with a case of seriously creepy crushes. But when their obsession turns to violence, Jessica and her friends start to wonder if there’s more going on than just a little friendly rivalry. Are the smitten girls turning into love zombies?

And Jessica has other worries—like her crush on Dominic Gray, the cute but moody new singer for Side Effects May Vary, and the mysterious tattoo that appeared on her arm one day and lets her know whenever there is trouble brewing. Jessica learns she's a Virago, a woman warrior chosen to fight evil whenever it threatens her hometown. But does a lowly freshman really have what it takes to keep Nightshade safe?

Why I Want To Read: It sounds cute and I've been craving zombie books for a while especially since all I've been able to read in Honors College are books like The Odyssey and The Aeneid. Yeah, I'd rather read cheesy YA zombie books any day. And might I add that I love the cover. Such a captivating shade of green right there :)

Release Date: March 2012

So, what are you waiting for?

The Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) By: Kody Keplinger

Summary (From Goodreads): Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "Duffy," she throws her Coke in his face.

But things aren't so great at home right now. Desperate for a distraction, Bianca ends up kissing Wesley. And likes it. Eager for escape, she throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with Wesley.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out that Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

Why I Want to Read This: I am a total worshiper of these types of books, falling in love with the guy you never thought you would...can you say cliche/AMAZING??!! Haha it sounds good, and I also read some good reviews of it, so of course I would very very very much like to read it!

Release Date: September 7, 2010

Today's book is...

Runaway (Airhead #3) By: Meg Cabot

Summary (From author's site):

Where can you hide

When everyone knows your name?

Em Watts is a prisoner: Brandon Stark, heir to the Stark corporation family fortune, is holding her captive.

Em Watts is a liar: She's told all her friends she loves Brandon, and that everything is fine.

Em Watts is scared to death: She really doesn't know how she's going to get out of this one.

She's still in shock over the fact that the girl whose life she was forced to take over when her brain was transplanted into her body is alive—alive and furious with her for stealing what she claims was rightfully hers...

...including Brandon Stark, who's intent on finding out what that girl's secret was, and using it to get revenge on his father.

But that's not all Brandon wants…he wants Em. And not just to use her to trick Nikki into revealing that secret, and helping him secure his place as head of Stark Enterprises once and for all.

But Brandon's not the only one who wants something from Em. Christopher wants to use her to hurt Brandon…for taking her away from him, and to destroy Stark Enterprises.

Em Watts is tired: She's tired of being used. Tired of being lied to. Tired of being told who she can and cannot love. Tired of the lies she's being forced to live.

With everyone she loves furious with her for things she can't explain, Em's reached the end of her rope...what's the point of even going on?

But when she discovers the truth about Nikki's secret, she knows there's only one person she can turn to.

Will Christopher be able to put aside his personal feelings and help her expose her employer to the world? Is it even fair to get Christopher involved — since if he agrees, there's every chance that Stark Enterprises will try to have them both killed—this time, permanently?

Maybe it would be better for Em to just keep on running...

Why I Want to Read This: As a giant Meg Cabot/Airhead fan, I seriously CANNOT wait for Runaway...I want to read it right now. I read the exerpt...and OMG, can you say amazing??!! I really want to see Christopher and Em get together, he finally found out in the second book (why are guys so stupid? I mean she basically told him in the end of the last book, and it took him till the end of the second one to figure out. Why are guys so dense?) that it was her, except Christopher is getting a little crazy, and he seems to be using Em more then loving her...I have a nasty feeling, something bad is going to happen.

Scarlett Fever By: Maureen Johnson

Summary (From Amazon): Ever since Mrs. Amberson, the former-aspiring-actress-turned-agent, entered Scarlett Martin's life, nothing has been the same.

She's still in charge of the Empire Suite in her family's hotel, but she's now also Mrs. Amberson's assistant, running around town for her star client, Chelsea - a Broadway star Scarlett's age with a knack for making her feel insignificant.

Scarlett's also trying to juggle sophomore year classes, her lab partner who is being just a little TOO nice, and getting over the boy who broke her heart.
In the midst of all this, her parents drop a bombshell that threatens to change her New York life forever...

Why I Want to Read It: I read Suite Scarlett and though I don't find it to be the BEST book in the whole entire world, I still kinda want to know what happens to Scarlett and a continuation of the story. And it does sound like a cute story.

Release Date: February 1, 2010

Anxious Hearts by Tucker Shaw

Summary: “Evangeline,” he repeated, calling at a whisper. “Evangeline.” He was not calling that she may hear, he was calling that somehow her soul might know that he was devoted entirely to her, only to her. “Evangeline, I will find you.”

Eva and Gabe explore the golden forest of their seaside Maine town, unknowingly tracing the footsteps of two teens, Evangeline and Gabriel, who once lived in the idyllic wooded village of Acadia more than one hundred years ago. On the day that Evangeline and Gabriel were be wed, their village was attacked and the two were separated. And now in the present, Gabe has mysteriously disappeared from Eva.

A dreamlike, loose retelling of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s famous love poem “Evangeline,” Anxious Hearts tells an epic tale of unrequited love and the hope that true love can be reunited.

Why I Want to Read This: Love retellings...there is just something wonderfully beautiful about them...and a fairy tale like story is always enjoyed. And might I say that the cover looks beautiful! Except the model's mouth is weird. I don't know if I can wait till May!!

Release Date: May 1, 2010

But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Why I Want to Read This: Do I even need to explain??!! It's the sequal to The Hunger Games [Read my review HERE]. It looks so good, and everyone's saying how it's better then the first, and I want Peeta and Katniss together!!!

Release Date: September 1, 2009

Now onto the book...

I Kissed a Zombie And I Liked It By: Adam Selzer

Summary (From Amazon): Algonquin “Ali” Rhodes, the high school newspaper’s music critic, meets an intriguing singer, Doug, while reviewing a gig. He’s a weird-looking guy—goth, but he seems sincere about it, like maybe he was into it back before it was cool. She introduces herself after the set, asking if he lives in Cornersville, and he replies, in his slow, quiet murmur, “Well, I don’t really live there, exactly. . . .”

When Ali and Doug start dating, Ali is falling so hard she doesn’t notice a few odd signs: he never changes clothes, his head is a funny shape, and he says practically nothing out loud. Finally Marie, the school paper’s fashion editor, points out the obvious: Doug isn’t just a really sincere goth. He’s a zombie. Horrified that her feelings could have allowed her to overlook such a flaw, Ali breaks up with Doug, but learns that zombies are awfully hard to get rid of—at the same time she learns that vampires, a group as tightly-knit as the mafia, don’t think much of music critics who make fun of vampires in reviews. . . .

Why I Want to Read This: Come on...dead people and romance??!! My kind of book!! It looks so sweet and funny..but that vampire refrence was really random...The summary is just going on about zombies and suddenly...boom...vampire refrence! And it just makes me laugh, lol, funny shaped head? Bahahaha the guy on the cover doesn't have THAT weird of a head.

I really like the cover its cool, and doesn't that girl look exactly like Emma Watson? The title is oh-so Kathy Perry. [I seriously hate that song...it's so annoying and the mv scares me].

I want this book soo badly!!!

Release Date: Janury 26, 2010

Welcome to another week of W.O.W

Thanks to Jill from Breaking the Spine for this awesome idea!

So, this week's book is...

As You Wish By: Jackson Pearce

Summary (From HarperCollins Website): Ever since viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—to have someone love her again and, more importantly, to belong again—until one day she inadvertently summons a young genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.

Jinn is anxious to return home, but Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she will not wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, the lines between master and servant begin to blur, and soon Jinn can't deny that he's falling for Viola. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn as well . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.

Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.

Why I Want to Read This: Aw, these story looks so cute, except the cover is very middle-school-book-ly.

The plot just sounds so cute and sweet, we all need plots like those in our lives right? lol.

So, I know that was really short, but that's all my thoughts.

Welcome to another week of W.O.W

This was brought to you by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

So this week's book is....

Secret Society By: Tom Dolby

Summary (From HarperCollins):

Secrets, secrets are no fun. Secrets, secrets hurt someone. . . .

An eccentric new girl. A brooding socialite. The scion of one of New York's wealthiest families. A promising filmmaker. As students at the exclusive Chadwick School, Phoebe, Lauren, Nick, and Patch already live in a world most teenagers only dream about.

They didn't ask to be Society members. But when three of them receive a mysterious text message promising success and fame beyond belief, they say yes to everything—even to the harrowing initiation ceremony in a gritty warehouse downtown and to the ankh-shaped tattoo they're forced to get on the nape of their necks. Once they're part of the Society, things begin falling into place for them. Week after week, their ambitions are fulfilled. It's all perfect—until a body is found in Central Park with no distinguishing marks except for an ankh-shaped tattoo.

Tom Dolby makes his teen fiction debut with this riveting novel about a dangerous society so secret that once you get in, you can never get out.

Why I Want to Read This: These old socialite stories seem to be the next hot YA book topic. And this book is totally The Luxe. And I really need to read something that is very Luxe like before it comes out, or else I will explode! [I want to read the last one so badly!]

Also, I think the cover is really pretty, and I think it's cool that a guy is writing on a book type like this.

Release Date: September 29, 2009

What books are you waiting for?

Waiting on Wednesday : 1

Woohoo my very first W.O.W, haha, I so need to get cracking on these posts :P

So, the awesome WOW is brought to you by Jill at Breaking the Spine...Check it out!!

So without further ado, here is the book that is honored to be my very first WOW... *drumroll*

Splendor By: Anna Godbersen

Summary: GRR, I can't find one!!! [But I do know there is one on the back of Envy]

Why I Chose This Book: Come on, this is the latest [Isn't this the last?] book to The Luxe series, I need this book like so badly, it ended on a cliffhanger... *sad face*. I want to know what happens to all the characters. And the cover/dress is gorgeous [except not the best], and can someone please explain to me why the title is covering the model's face, that is going to annoy me so badly! But I guess since the empty part of the curve of the S is on her face, it's not that bad, but still!!!

Release Date: October 27, 2009 [Hm, I also read that that it was November 1, is it the October one or the November one?]

Also for the drama I'm waiting for...

Down With Love

Starring: Ella Chen [From S.H.E] and Jerry Yan

Synopsis [From WikiDrama]: Jerry Yan will play a lawyer who is good at divorce and inheritance lawsuits, who is very cool, smart, sharp tongued, and cold. Ella Chen plays the role of a nanny of two children.

Why I Want to Watch this: Ok, the synopsis says like NOTHING but it's JERRY AND Ella, how can I NOT want to watch??!! Jerry is like super serious, but Ella's so over the top, so it will just be funny to see how it plays out.

So, what are you waiting for?

Wdebo :)
