WWW Wednesday






Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
 • What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?




What are you currently reading? Divergent - I FINALLY picked it up and am having a hard time focusing on work because all I want to do is read! I feel an all nighter coming on to finish tonight.

What did you recently finish reading? I had a Kody Keplinger weekend. I read A Midsummer's Nightmare and The Duff: Designated Ugly Fat Friend over the long weekend. Both were one sitting reads, couldn't put them down. I HAD to know how things would end. 

What do you think you'll read next? Tomorrow is last day of school (woohoo!) and I have about twenty books from the school library checked out to read over the summer. I might go into that stash, or some of my new ones from Netgalley but let's face it, I will most likely pick up Insurgent . . . or Shut Out. :)

G - is for Girl Stolen

Sixteen year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while her mom fills her prescription at the pharmacy. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, their car is being stolen--with her inside! Griffin hadn’t meant to kidnap Cheyenne, all he needed to do was steal a car for the others. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne’s father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changes—now there’s a reason to keep her. What Griffin doesn’t know is that Cheyenne is not only sick with pneumonia, she is blind. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare, and if she does, at what price? (taken from Goodreads)

Wow! Friends had told me about this one a while back but I finally took the time to read it. It helps a little that it can count across all my challenges. G- for Gatsby, I read it in one sitting, and the ongoing page count. (I love when I can multitask.)

Being kidnapped was always a fear of mine. That might have something to do with me being afraid of just about everything, but still it freaks me out. I kept wondering how I would have reacted had it been me. Cheyenne was a rock star. While I would have been crying in a corner Cheyenne keeps her wits about her and is able to weigh her options. This was one that made me think.



Countdown to Summer

The school year is almost over. We are talking 8 1/2 more days. And crazy enough, I only know that because everyone else around me is counting.

Usually this time of year I know down to the minute how much time we have left with each class period. I have always been one to count down to a big event. My friend Lindsey and I made paper chains counting down to our 16th birthdays when we were like, 12.

But not this year. And you know what I think that means? I LOVE being in the library.

Not that I didn't enjoy the classroom, because I did. And I do still miss it sometimes. But, I'm loving where I am now.

I am almost sad for the school year to be over. I know, I can't believe I just said that either.
