Waiting On Wednesday

meme info on Schedule/Memes page

Two books I'm waiting on this week:

If I Lie by Corrine Jackson


A powerful debut novel about the gray space between truth and perception.

Quinn’s done the unthinkable: she kissed a guy who is not Carey, her boyfriend. And she got caught. Being branded a cheater would be bad enough, but Quinn is deemed a traitor, and shunned by all of her friends. Because Carey’s not just any guy—he’s serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.

Quinn could clear her name, but that would mean revealing secrets that she’s vowed to keep—secrets that aren’t hers to share. And when Carey goes MIA, Quinn must decide how far she’ll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.
out August 28, 2012 from Simon Pulse (on Goodreads)


While He Was Away by Karen Schreck

"This is just something I have to do, okay?" I hear David say. "The right thing."

He cradles my face in his hands. He kisses me hard. Then he lets go of me. His eyes dart from me to whatever's next. When Penna Weaver's boyfriend goes off to Iraq, she's left facing life without him. As summer sets in, Penna tries to distract herself with work and her art, but the not knowing is slowly driving her crazy. Especially when David stops writing. She knows in her heart he will come home- but will he be the same boy she fell in love with?

out May 1, 2012 from Sourcebooks Fire (on Goodreads)



I love the sounds of these two books! While their plots are definitely different and unique, they have some similar elements that have me excited for the release of both of them. It's great that they're both so current, too :)

That's what I'm waiting on - what about you?
