Waiting On Wednesday ..... Anne and Henry


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is Anne and Henry by Dawn Ius


Here is the Goodreads synopsis
Anne
Wild, brazen, mischievous, bewitching

Henry
Driven, haunted, charming, magnetic

Apart, they are bound to destroy themselves. Together, they are bound to destroy each other.

Henry Tudor's life has been mapped out since the day he was born: student president, valedictorian, Harvard Law School, and a stunning political career just like his father's. But ever since the death of Henry's brother—perfect, high-achieving Arthur—his family has been twice as demanding. And now Henry's trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who's not Tudor approved.

Then Anne Boleyn crashes into his life.

Anne is wild, brash and outspoken. She is everything Henry is not allowed to be—or to want. But soon Anne is all he can think about. His mother, his friends, and even his girlfriend warn him away, yet his desire for Anne consumes him. Henry is willing to do anything to be with her. But once he has her, their romance could destroy them both.

Inspired by the true story of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, Anne & Henry reimagines the intensity, love, and betrayal between one of the most infamous couples of all time. 
I've been fangirling about this for quite some time now and am definitely pining waiting for it's release. It's no secret that I am kind of obsessed with Tudor history and this retelling sounds rather fun (and hopefully sexy, heartbreaking and maybe a little scandalous!). I'll be a long summer pining for this one as it doesn't come out until the autumn.

Expected release date - September, 2015 (exact date to be announced)

Love, Lucy by April Lindner



Love, Lucy by April Lindner
Release Date - January 27, 2015
Publisher Website - Little Brown
Publisher Social Media - Twitter
Pages - 304 pages
My Rating - 3/5
**received in exchange for an honest review**

Here is the Goodreads synopsis
While backpacking through Florence, Italy, during the summer before she heads off to college, Lucy Sommersworth finds herself falling in love with the culture, the architecture, the food...and Jesse Palladino, a handsome street musician. After a whirlwind romance, Lucy returns home, determined to move on from her "vacation flirtation." But just because summer is over doesn't mean Lucy and Jesse are over, too.

In this coming-of-age romance, April Lindner perfectly captures the highs and lows of a summer love that might just be meant to last beyond the season.
I picked up Love, Lucy because it seemed to have all the elements I would love. Backpacking through Europe. A cute romance. I was hoping for a main character I adored. A swoon worthy romance that swept me away. While Love, Lucy was a mostly enjoyable read, I didn't end up loving it as much as I expected to.

The main take away after reading this novel is a fierce wanderlust. You will be swept away by the descriptions of Italy and be entirely smitten. Do not be surprised if hours are spent researching a hypothetical trip after turning the last page. This is one element that April Lindner captures perfectly, and the strongest element in the novel. The setting is everything you could hope for from the synopsis and more.

This is a type of novel where character connection is vital. Most contemporaries rely on character development as the plot typically deals with internal, emotional elements. The connection, for me, just wasn't there with these characters. I didn't feel anything more than indifference to them. I wasn't invested in their story because they didn't feel multi-dimensional to me. The use of third person may have created another barrier as I didn't get a sense of what the characters were feeling.

The romance itself is cute, if predictable. There are a few instances where things are drawn out for dramatic purposes but it could have been quite enjoyable if it had that connection. The spark that made you feel everything and feel invested in the outcome. You want to be able to root for the main couple. You want to care whether or not they get their happily ever after.

There are friendships formed in the novel that I really enjoyed. Lucy's roommate at college in particular seemed to have potential, as did the characters she befriends later on in the novel. I would love to have learned more about these characters, and seen the friendship play a more central focus in the story. It could have rounded it out more and created a richer character experience.

There are morsels of potential throughout the novel. There is an underlying theme of making your own choices, and standing up for what you want. It's a theme that is common in young adult novels, but one that is always welcome. It could have been a deeper more interesting read if it had been developed more.

With all that being said, I did enjoy Love, Lucy for what it is. A light, fun contemporary read that would be perfect after a more emotional read. It'll leave you more than a little in love with Italy and with the strong desire to have a vacation flirtation of your own.

Better Than Perfect by Melissa Kantor



Better Than Perfect by Melissa Kantor
Release Date - February 17, 2015
Publisher Website - Harper Collins
Publisher Social Media - Twitter/Facebook/SavvyReader/Frenzy
Pages - 336 pages
My Rating - 4/5
**received in exchange for an honest review**

Here is the Goodreads synopsis
Juliet Newman has it all. A picture-perfect family; a handsome, loving boyfriend; and a foolproof life plan: ace her SATs, get accepted into Harvard early decision, and live happily ever after.

But when her dad moves out and her mom loses it, Juliet begins questioning the rules she’s always lived by. And to make everything even more complicated there’s Declan, the gorgeous boy who makes her feel alive and spontaneous—and who’s totally off-limits. Torn between the life she always thought she wanted and one she never knew was possible, Juliet begins to wonder: What if perfect isn't all it’s cracked up to be?

Melissa Kantor once again delivers a tale that is equal parts surprising, humorous, heartbreaking, and romantic. Powerful and honest, Juliet’s story brilliantly portrays the highs and lows of life in high school and will resonate with any reader who has experienced either.
Perfection, perception, and reality all collide in this well written novel. A story about the pressure to be perfect, the truth we attempt to hide, and the moment we realize nothing is quite what we though it was, including ourselves.

Better Than Perfect is filled with flawed characters, inadvisable choices, and yet I found myself wanting the best for everyone involved. A hot button issue is at the heart of this novel, and it may end up being a polarizing factor for many readers, but I think the novel is one that you should stick with regardless of personal opinions. The whys of what happens and the aftermath make everything less black and white than you might expect. I appreciate characters who own their mistakes and I think Juliet eventually does.

Juliet isn't perfect. In fact, she makes plenty of mistakes. She even makes awful choices sometimes. In struggling to be perfect, she realizes that it's an impossible standard she's held herself up to. As a reader, you will not agree with all of her choices. The choices she makes, however, are within character. It fits perfectly with who the character is, and what we know about her. Juliet has much of what she thought was true pulled away from her as she struggles to deal with her parents separation, and it's aftermath.

Perception and reality has been represented in literature and other forms of entertainment plenty of times. The idea that you never really know someone underneath what they present to the world is a common theme. Juliet goes through something everyone does while growing up during this novel. There comes a moment where you stop viewing your parents as Mom and Dad and start seeing them as people with their own flaws, and problems. You see through that comforting notion of Mom and Dad to the individual underneath. As children we often view our parents are perfect. We are either too young, or are shielded from the reality. Juliet learns that her parents make mistakes just like anyone else. That they are still figuring things out. That they have secrets of their own. It's not something I had seen tackled in a young adult novel before and the inclusion of the family in such a prominent way was a welcome change.

The romance is going to be hit or miss. Plenty of people will not be fans of this love story. Without giving spoilers, there is plenty of drama, baggage, bad choices, and angst to complicate the situation. However, it feels like something Juliet needed to go through. The romance, however, is a back drop to the real issues facing Juliet. Through the romance we see her change, and realize things about herself, and those around her. It's something that assists the plot rather than being the plot, which isn't really clear until the end of the novel.

The ending of the novel once again hinges on choices. The choices that we all make and why we are making them. Too often we might make the choices others expect or want. The freedom of making a choice because YOU choose it is liberating and it's something we all have to learn. That's Juliet's journey as much as any other discovery she makes along the way. Owing and making those choices is what ultimately makes us who we are, so we have to make the most of them.

A novel that explores the idea of being who other people think you are. The exhausting pressure that puts someone under, and the freedom of breaking free. Melissa Kantor has written a messy, imperfect, flawed character who doesn't always make the best choices. If you enjoy this type of character and this type of story, you'll find much to love in Better Than Perfect.

New To My Book Closet


It's that time of the week again. Time to show you what bookish goodies made their way into my home and book closet (to be saved from the evil book eating cat monster named Aria). This is inspired by the various "mailbox" posts out there (eg. In My Mailbox by The Story Siren, and Stacking the Shelves by Tynga's Reviews).

A few amazing sounding books made their way into my mailbox this week. One in particular made me fangirl when I opened the package and discovered it had arrived.


A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas (goodreads)

My friend Christy was kind enough to lend me her copy of this! I cannot wait to read it and hope to sneak it into the schedule ASAP!


The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler (goodreads)

This is a re-telling of The Little Mermaid! I immediately was intrigued when I read the synopsis and I think the cover is adorable. Seems like it might be a fun summer read.

What books made their way into your mailbox this week?

Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!

ANNE

HENRY

ANNE & HENRY

Apart they are bound to destroy themselves. Together, they are bound to destroy
each other.

HENRY TUDOR’S LIFE HAS BEEN mapped out since the day he was born: student president, valedictorian, Harvard Law School, and a stunning political career just like his father’s.

But ever since the death of Henry’s brother—perfect, high-achieving Arthur—his family has been twice as demanding. And now Henry’s trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who’s not Tudor-approved.

Check out the Goodreads synopsis
A thrilling tale about what a girl will do to get back a memory she lost…or remove what she wants to forget.

Harper is used to her family being hounded by protestors. Her father runs the company that trademarked the “Memtex” procedure to wipe away sad memories, and plenty of people think it shouldn’t be legal. Then a new demonstrator crosses her path, Neil, who’s as persistent as he is hot. Not that Harper’s noticing, since she already has a boyfriend.

When Harper suffers a loss, she’s shocked her father won’t allow her to get the treatment, so she finds a way to get it without his approval. Soon afterward, she’s plagued with strange symptoms, including hallucinations of a woman who is somehow both a stranger, yet incredibly familiar. Harper begins to wonder if she is delusional, or if these are somehow memories.

Together with Neil, who insists he has his own reasons for needing answers about the real dangers of Memtex, Harper begins her search for the truth. What she finds could uproot all she’s ever believed about her life… 
This sounds mysterious, and like an excellent, fast paced thriller.

Heartbreakers Tour - Day Five


Today continues the Heartbreakers tour for 2015! It's a week filled with Valentine's Day goodness from some amazing authors! Visit each stop as each of the bloggers will be highlighting different authors and asking different questions! Also be sure to enter the giveaway that will be located at the bottom of each tour stop.


Today I have Ashley Poston and Sara Hantz visiting the blog and answering some very important Valentine Day themed questions!


Ashley is spotlighting her novel The Sound Of Us


A novel that sounds like it's going to be perfect for me. Check out the Goodreads synopsis
America's favorite pop band, Roman Holiday, is done, dead, and so totally last year. For eighteen-year-old rockoholic Junie Baltimore, this is music to her ears. But when she discovers their sexy ex-lead singer hiding out on the boardwalk, her summer vacation becomes the cover story of the year.

She's willing to keep him a secret, but when a sleazy paparazzo offers her the cash she needs to save the bar her father left behind, could she sell out for the chance to save her future? Who is she kidding? That's a no-brainer...but she never planned on falling head over heels for the lead singer. 
A rock star hiding out. A summer romance. Plenty of drama. Heck, yes!

Ashley took the time to answer my Valentine themed questions

1. What do you think is the best way to get over a heartbreak?

Chocolate! And a good book. A very good book. A very swoony good book. With rippling abs. Deep blue eyes. Back muscles you could
climb on. Sigh.

2. What literary couple is your favourite? 

I absolutely adore Sophie and Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. They constantly bicker, snap, and bite at each other, but at the end of the day they cook bacon over their fire demon and watch the sun set.

Ashley Poston is a fangirl at heart. Inspired by everything from Sailor Moon to Firefly to Harry Potter, she began writing at a very young age and never stopped. Her play, MOTHLIGHT, won best direction, best actor/actress, and best stage play at SCTA's 2008 conference. Since then, she's written for Quirk and ThoughtCatolog, apprenticed under a Hollywood screenwriter, spoke at Anime Expo's Academic Conference, interned at Random House, and somehow found herself a book contract. She currently lives in South Carolina with her cat and a plethora of books. When not writing, she hangs around on Twitter fangirling about all the feels. THE SOUND OF US, from Bloomsbury Spark, is her first novel. Tweet her at @ashposton and read her inner-most rambles at casuallybeingweird.com.

Next up, Sarah Hantz sharing details about her novel!


Her  novel sound like a lot of fun....


You can check out this Goodreads synopsis
Will The Real Abi Saunders Please Stand Up

Abi Saunders might be a kickboxing champion, but when it comes to being the center of attention, she’d rather take a roundhouse kick to the solar plexus any day. So when her trainer convinces her to audition to be the stunt double for hot teen starlet Tilly Watson, Abi is shocked—and a little freaked out—when she gets the job.

Being a stunt double is overwhelming, but once the wig and makeup are on, Abi feels like a different person. Tilly Watson, to be exact. And when Tilly’s gorgeous boyfriend, Jon, mistakes Abi for the real star, Abi's completely smitten. In fact, she’s so in love with her new life, it isn’t long before she doesn’t have time for her old one.

But when the cameras are turned off, will she discover running with the Hollywood A-list isn’t quite the glamorous existence she thought it was? 
A stunt double in Hollywood, and a sexy guy was all I really needed to know to be excited.

She also answers my questions and Elizabeth and Darcy are certainly a popular choice!

1. What do you think is the best way to get over a heartbreak? 

A big bar of chocolate, a tub of Ben & Jerry’s and my favourite song on repeat.

2. What literary couple is your favourite?

Lizzie and Darcy


Sara Hantz comes from the UK and now lives on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Australia (via 10 years in New Zealand). She lectured for many years before deciding to devote more time to her writing and working in the family business. She has two grown-up children and when not writing or working she spends more time than most people she knows watching TV - in fact if TV watching was an Olympic sport she'd win gold.

Heartbreakers Tour ..... Day Four


Today continues the Heartbreakers tour for 2015! It's a week filled with Valentine's Day goodness from some amazing authors! Visit each stop as each of the bloggers will be highlighting different authors and asking different questions! Also be sure to enter the giveaway that will be located at the bottom of each tour stop.


Today I have L.S. Murphy and Laurie J. Edwards (writing as Erin Johnson) stopping by the blog!


L.S. Murphy is spotlighting her novel Reaper and sharing a bit about her next title Pixelated!


A novel that promises romance and heart! Check out the Goodreads synopsis
There's no way sixteen year old Quincy Amarante will become the fifth grim reaper. None. Not over her shiny blue Mustang. Her Jimmy Choos. Or her dead body.

She's supposed to enjoy her sophomore year, not learn about some freaky future that Destiny says she has no choice but to fulfill.

It doesn't take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.

Like when she's reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best friend Ben Moorland, who's returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably.

Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy's goes down like the Titanic.

Maybe ... just maybe ... that's okay.

It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn't just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy's priorities—from who she thinks she wants to be to who she really is.

Her upcoming YA novel, PIXELATED, about a high school senior whose ambitious life plan is jeopardized by her parents' divorce and a move to Nowheresville, and who can't help falling for the small town golden boy with a secret, was acquired by Bloomsbury Spark. PIXELATED is expected to be published in Spring 2015. 
A paranormal that has a contemporary twist I am told. You can also add PIXELATED to your Goodreads while you're there.

She also answered my Valentine's Day themed questions. Obviously, Darcy and Elizabeth are a fave of mine, too.

1. What do you think is the best way to get over a heartbreak?

Doing something that makes you feel good about yourself.

2. What literary couple is your favourite?

Totally team Darcy and Elizabeth.



L.S. Murphy obsesses about St. Louis Cardinals baseball, fangirls over her favorite authors, and watches every episode of Doctor Who like it's the first time. When she's not doing those time-consuming things, the former farm-girl turned city slicker turned suburbanite writes sweet romances for teens and adults. Visit her online at lsmurphy.com and follow her on Twitter @LSMurphy

Next up, as part of the tour, I have Laurie J Edwards (writing as Erin Johnson) dishing details about her novel!


She is talking about the second book in her new series.....

singlehandedly tracks down train robbers and fugitives in her quest for justice. 
Laurie also answers my questions and she speaks to my Disney loving heart with her couple choice!

1. What do you think is the best way to get over a heartbreak?

Believing that if this one didn’t work out, the Universe has someone even better waiting for me.

2. What literary couple is your favourite?

Beauty and the Beast. I’m a sucker for stories about the transformative power of love.

Erin Johnson grew up watching classic western movies with her father, which fueled her lifelong love of horseback riding.
