Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR List (27)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
So for this week's Top Ten Tuesday, I've decided I was NOT ALLOWED to put books I don't already OWN on this list. So I went to my bookshelf, picked 5 BEA books and 5 finished copies I bought/won I haven't read yet but am DYING to read (and weren't on my Top Ten list from last week). Which is how I compiled my Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR List.

TOP FIVE BEA BOOKS


1. The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
afkjhafheiruknajn MAGGIE STIEFVATER. RAVEN BOYS. RONAN. *cries joyously*

2. Just Like Fate Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young
I've had my eye on this one for a long time so when I saw it just SITTING ON THE FLOOR at BEA I got all kinds of grabby hands.

3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
*More incoherent keyboard slamming*

4. Across a Star Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund
I JUUUUST finished For Darkness Shows the Stars the other day and I'm SUPER EXCITED to not have to wait for the sequel. 

5. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Me and the outer space Titanic book are going to have all kinds of fun this summer.

TOP FIVE FINISHED COPIES


6. The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston
I won this one from Cassie and I'm exciiiited to read it this summer *delight*

7. Parallel by Lauren Miller
See Just Like Fate above? Yeah, I like Sliding Door type books and I'm so thrilled to work through both of these.

8. Pivot Point by Kasie West
ANOTHER book with two girls on the cover and Sliding Door plots. I'm probably going to have to be careful in reading all of these so I don't get sick of the plot line...

9. The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise
This one sounds really quirky and you guys know I looooove me so quirky.

10. From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas
A nice fat book for me is what I'm seeing here. A lot of people I know really liked this one, so I'm all about digging into it ASAP.

So what did you guys put on your summer TBR list? Anything on my list you want to add to yours? Maybe you have something you think I'D want to read? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT (in the comments below).

Waiting On: Parallel by Lauren Miller (23)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Breaking the Spine

Title: Parallel
Author: Lauren Miller
Release Date: May 14th 2013
Publisher:
HarperTeen
Abby Barnes had a plan. The Plan. She'd go to Northwestern, major in journalism, and land a job at a national newspaper, all before she turned twenty-two. But one tiny choice—taking a drama class her senior year of high school—changed all that. Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Abby is stuck on a Hollywood movie set, miles from where she wants to be, wishing she could rewind her life. The next morning, she's in a dorm room at Yale, with no memory of how she got there. Overnight, it's as if her past has been rewritten.

With the help of Caitlin, her science-savvy BFF, Abby discovers that this new reality is the result of a cosmic collision of parallel universes that has Abby living an alternate version of her life. And not only that: Abby's life changes every time her parallel self makes a new choice. Meanwhile, her parallel is living out Abby's senior year of high school and falling for someone Abby's never even met.

As she struggles to navigate her ever-shifting existence, forced to live out the consequences of a path she didn't choose, Abby must let go of the Plan and learn to focus on the present, without losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and the destiny that's finally within reach.
