"Waiting On" Wednesday #11


"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine that spotlights an upcoming release (or releases) that we're eagerly anticipating.

What I’m waiting on:

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare
By: Melissa Jensen
Publisher: Speak
Release Date: February 16, 2012
Add it on Goodreads

From Goodreads:

Pretty in Pink meets Anna and the French Kiss in this charming romantic comedy.

Ella is nearly invisible at the Willing School, and that’s just fine by her. She’s got her friends – the fabulous Frankie and their sweet cohort Sadie. She’s got her art – and her idol, the unappreciated 19th century painter Edward Willing. Still, it’s hard being a nobody and having a crush on the biggest somebody in the school: Alex Bainbridge. Especially when he is your French tutor, and lessons have started becoming, well, certainly more interesting than French has ever been before. But can the invisible girl actually end up with a happily ever after with the golden boy, when no one even knows they’re dating? And is Ella going to dare to be that girl?

Okay, so I was sold as soon as Anna and the French Kiss was mentioned. I’m definitely getting really into the contemporary YA romance genre and this one looks great. Bring on those steamy French tutoring sessions! :)


Elemental Reality
By: Cesya MaRae Cuono
Publisher: Revolution Publishing
Release Date: August 11, 2011
Add it on Goodreads

From Goodreads:

When Callie Pierce was ten, her mother disappeared without a trace. On the eve of her disappearance twelve years later, the Earth seemingly comes alive. The elements speak to Callie, and that’s only the beginning. Everything she has ever known was a twisted fabrication to protect her. Now the truth is set free. Callie and her sister are more powerful that any Faerie ever born. Now they have to use their powers to save their mother and family from the evil hands of fate that threaten to tear them apart. Welcome to her elemental reality.

I’m especially excited about this one because I’m participating in the Elemental Reality Blog Tour, so keep your eyes open over the next few weeks for a review and a guest post from author Cesya MaRae Cuono (isn’t that such a cool name?). And the book itself looks awesome! It’s the first of what I believe is a trilogy (there are at least three, I know that much), and I can’t wait to dive in. Also, this is possibly the most gorgeous cover that I have seen EVER. I am in love with it. I've seriously been sitting here staring at it for about 20 minutes. I absolutely cannot wait to have my own copy so I can just sit and stroke it. Swoon.

What books are you waiting on this Wednesday?
