Waiting on Wednesday!

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

I am eagerly awaiting:

Morpheus Road: The Light by D.J. MacHale
Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
Alex Cross's Trial by James Patterson
Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris

W...W...W...Wednesdays

Should be Reading has started W...W...W... Wednesdays!


To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions!…

What are you currently reading?

I have started Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl - as you know if you have been following my blog for a while - I planned to start this days ago - and made it to page 4 before I switched and was reading from the Kindle.  So, now that I have finished Exposure, I am going back to Heartless!

What have you just finished reading?
Exposure by Brandilyn Collins
Amazon product description:  I picked it solely because it started with an "E" and I am participating in the "Read Your Name" Challenge, so I needed an E. 
I am ever so glad that I did!!!
Someone is watching Kaycee Raye. But who will believe her? In Kaycee's newspaper column she's known for writing of her paranoia and fears. Is the new danger real---or is she going crazy? In this story of terror, twists, and desperate faith, the startling questions pile high. But Kaycee's descent to answers proves even more frightening.
 
 

Review format: Why did I pick it up/What did I like about it/What did I not like about it.

I read this one on the Kindle.

I loved the twist and intrigue.  I wasn't sure at first if I liked the characters, but they were drawing emotion from me regardless of my opinion of them.   My favorite part of this story? The fact that I was totally surprised by the twists!  I am very rarely completely shocked when a story twists, but this one was totally unexpected.  Great read!

The only thing I didn't like about the story was that I found myself wanting to shake the mom.  Serioiusly?  What was she thinking sometimes!  I can't tell you the story, without telling you the story - - so you will HAVE to read this!!!

What do you plan to read next?
Heaven help me - I am planning to read a "real" book and an "e-book" - we will see how it plays out for me.  I have yet to finish and Falling, fly and I must read Changeless before I have to re-read Soulless to remember all the details.  If I am to get any of my challenges done I have to start taking turns I guess.  Wish me luck!

It's Monday! - - What are you reading?

What am I reading?  Well this last week has been crazy and I am behind.  I am still trying to get back to Changeless.  I started it last week and ended up reading Exposure by Brandilyn Collins on the kindle instead.  I am loving that one!  It's a creeper!  I plan to post a review for this book on Wednesday.
