Waiting On Wednesday {6.19.13}

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

This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” selection is:

How to Run With A Naked Werewolf (Naked Werewolf #3) - Molly Harper
Release Date: December 31, 2013

“Caleb Graham is a werewolf by nature, a tracker by profession. He uses his “extra gifts” to find people, and not always in the most legal or ethical manner. He doesn’t care what they’ve done, or who wants them found, as long as his considerable fee is paid. He likes his life simple and uncomplicated.

Anna Moder, former physician to Caleb’s pack, happens across Caleb during a particularly violent “negotiation” that has left him bloodied and unconscious. She helps him, despite the fact that he’s cost her a car, so he insists that she stay with him on the road for a while. As they grow closer, Anna looks past the gruff exterior and and the questionable job to thoroughly decent werewolf underneath.

Anna – who is careful to edit her involvement with Caleb’s pack from their conversations – doesn’t talk about why a nice girl wants to live in the middle of frozen nowhere, but she’s obviously on the run from something. When Anna’s past collides with Caleb’s current assignment from one of his sleazier contacts, Caleb finally has to make a choice—protect his job…or his potential mate?” (from Goodreads.com) 

Finally!! The next book in the Naked Werewolf series is coming out, and I can’t wait. These three books are not all from the same POV, but they are all related, and the previous characters are in the story. Molly Harper is an amazing author and mixes the comedy with the action really well. Check out all her books

I like people with depth, I like people with emotion, I like people with a strong mind, an interesting mind, a twisted mind, and also people that can make me smile.

mod comment: Normally we don’t do reblogs here on starshollowconfessions, but I wanted to put this out to all our lovely followers, who obviously belong to the Gilmore Girls fandom, so that when they tally the numbers for this fandom research project, their results are as accurate as possible—and happen to show how much Gilmore love is out there in the tumblrsphere!
So…if you could please reblog, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
COPPERBOOM!

Entwined with You; SYLVIA DAY (via inge-hartmann)
Have you met the tattoo artist? Is he hot?”
“He’s a she,” mom said.
“Is she hot? Cause I’m still young, you know. My sexual identity isn”t fully formed.”
“Your father can’t hear you anymore Maya.” Mom sighed. “Poor guy. Why can’t you be a normal teenager daughter who’d sooner die than say the words ‘sexual identity’ in front of him?”
“You guys raised me right. You should be proud.

TTT: Top Ten Books At The Top Of My Summer TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is an original book feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish

This week’s “Top Ten Tuesday” topic is: Top Ten Books At The Top Of My Summer TBR List {6.18.13}

This one is so hard!! There are so many I want to read, so I narrowed it down by including only books I already own. Books are listed in no particular order and are either already released or will be out before August 30, 2013.

A Witch’s Handbook of Kisses and Curses (Half Moon Hollow #2) - Molly Harper: I just love this author! I swear, I’ll read anything she writes, especially her Jane Jameson series and the Half Moon Hollow spin-off! 

Notorious Nineteen (Stephanie Plum #19) - Janet Evanovich: I’ve been trying to be good and wait until it comes out in paperback, but my friend found it at a used bookstore, so IT’S ON! 

Shapeshifted (Edie Spence #3) - Cassie Alexander: I’ve been waiting for this book to come out for months! The excerpts she’s released are amazing. And even though I accidently spoiled myself by reading the synopsis for number 4, I am just as stoked for the rest of the series. 

If I Stay (If I Stay #1) - Gayle Forman: I’ve heard  great things about this book and just found it at The Last Bookstore a week or two ago! 

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? - Mindy Kaling: I’ve been saving this book for my road trip back to MI! I love Mindy and The Mindy Project, so buying this book was a no brainer for me. 

Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid #1) - Richelle Mead: I love Richelle to death and want to read everything she’s written, so onto her other series!! 

Shakespeare’s Landlord (Lily Bard Mysteries #1) - Charlaine Harris: This book has been on my list for awhile now, and it’s also another recent purchase. To be honest, I’m having Harper Connelly/Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood withdrawals. Hopefully this will help! 

Gunmetal Magic (Kate Daniels World #1) - Ilona Andrews: I love the Kate Daniels series, and Andrea’s short story just wasn’t enough! I’m hoping her and Raph kiss and makeup ;)

Stolen - Lucy Christopher: I bought this book awhile ago, and it’s been sitting in my TBR pile since. Recently, however, I’ve been seeing quotes from it on Tumblr and my original interest has been renewed! 

Undead and Unwed (Undead #1) - MaryJanice Davidson: My mom actually recommended this series to me because of my love for both vampires and shoes. I finally found the first one last weekend, so this series will be read this summer! (Especially because my mom has the rest of them for me to borrow!)  

(Also, Divergent by Veronica Roth was on my list, but I’ve just finished it, so I took it off!) 

What are the books on your Summer 2013 TBR list?

Cover Loves Monday: Bite Marks

Cover Loves Monday features book covers (old, new, not yet released) that I love. Nothing else is taken into consideration other than simply the beautiful cover art and possibly the title. (If someone else hosts a feature like this, please let me know so I can credit them!) 

Bite Marks (Jaz Parks #6) by Jennifer Rardin

 The Jaz Parks series is the first introduction I had to the urban fantasy world. Before that I read mostly YA, so this was my big jump to more age-relative books. This is also where my obsession with dying my hair red comes from… haha I just love the black-red-yellow-pink color combo of these books! {6.17.13}
