Waiting On Wednesday: Where She Went

Sorry, there's next to nothing available information-wise on this book!

All I know:

Published in 2011
The sequel to If I Stay
From Mia's boyfriend, Adam's, point of view three years later.

Sorry I can't really give much information, but I just thought you might like to know about the sequel! If I Stay was completely amazing and unforgettable, I absolutley can't wait.

Theme Thursday: Fairy Tales Retold

Heylo! I know it's technically Wednesday still, but it's minutes to midnight (that's a song/band, right? *sigh* that's gonna bug me, my Google never wants to cooperate so I can find out...) (also, when this is published it might be past. Oh well, no need to be so technical!)so CLOSE ENOUGH.

Theme Thursday is a weekly showcase of books that all share similar somethings- themes and issues, covers, titles, characters, basically any kind of tie-in, created in August by Serendipity Reviews (this blog).

This week's theme is...

Fairy Tales Retold!

BOOKS FEATURED ON TODAY'S POST:

Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen by Serena Valentino (A retelling of Snow White)

The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy (I can't WAIT for this to come out... I should go do my WoW post on it :P)

Ash by Malinda Lo (This have a marvelous cover that makes me want to cry a bit. According to the author it's a retelling of Cinderalla too, but beyond that I have no clue what it's about.)

Beastly by Alex Flinn (A retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I adore this cover as well!)

Geek Charming by Robin Palmer (The snooty, chick-lit version of Snow White that I bought forever ago and can't bring myself to read)

Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer (From the title you can tell it's a retelling of Cinderella!)

A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce (A retelling of... what's that one about the girl who spins gold and this freaky gnome thing helps her? That one. It'll come to me :P I've been wanting to read this forever, since early last year :P)

There was a myriad of other Cinderella remakes... one I've read, Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I'm not at all impressed with her books.

Showcase time!

That's all for this week, bye!

Theme Thursday: Artificial Weatherdomes

... also known as snowglobes. Yeah, because snowglobes as a title wasn't interesting :)

Anyways, for those of you who don't know, Theme Thursday is a weekly bookish feature created by Serendipity Reviews- this blog!- in which books with similarities are showcased- similar covers, titles, plots, themes and elements, basically anything you can make work with books (usually 4 or5 total books).

Books featured on today's post:

Are We There Yet by David Levithan

The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

Heaven Looks A Lot Like the Mall by Wendy Mass

I don't know what it is about covers like these, but whenever I see them they're the ones I'm most drawn to. All of these are fantastic books (I haven't read Are We There Yet- I didn't know it existed until today, I saw it on my school library shelf and went to get it, then a girl from my class starting yelling about how she LOVED that movie, the one with Ice Cube or whomever, and said she didn't know it was a book. Because I love David Levithan's books I died a little inside xD- but it's obviously got to be good!)

'Til next time (next week I'll actually DO the Jane Austen remakes theme, as promised last week)!

Theme... Friday?: Cinemagic and Celebutantes

Hey everyone, it's Theme, er, Friday (go along with it!) :D This week is themed to the tune of the silver screen- wannabe actors/actresses in film or on stage, or just about movie lovers.

Theme Thursday is a weekly book feature, created by me, which showcases books with similar traits- titles, covers, themes, etc.

Featured on this week's post (and my thoughts in parentheses, also in no particular order, just as they come to me):

Secrets of My Hollywood Life by Jen Calonita (I read this a while ago... not that big a fan of the series, I never finished the second one. But it so obviously deserved to be in this lineup!)

Exclusively Chloe by J.A. Yang ( Currerently on top of my TBR pile, paperback section- yes, it's big enough that I had to divide it into sections throughout my room! It looks great, but no comment as to whether it actually IS yet.)

The Fillm Club by David Gilmore (A memoir in movies? What's not to love?)

Geek Magnet by Keiran Scott

Airhead by Meg Cabot

Celebutantes (Never read it, or so much as heard of it until today.)

A Hollywood Ending ( I like the cover, and it takes place in Hollywood and all that... never heard of this author up until now.)

The Comeback by Marlene Perez ( I half-read it, and gave it away in my first giveaway last month... even though not strictly celebrities, I thought it should be involved in this lineup.)

L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad (Yes, this book again. I have no like for this book, well at least very little, but it obviously belongs here!)

Next week's theme: Pride, Prejudice and Books: Variants on the Classics We All Love

Theme Thursday: Cute Enough to Eat

Theme Thursday is a weekly meme created by Serendipity Reviews (this blog!), which groups books together based on something they have in common: usually themes of the book (things like coffee or candy- can you tell I just drank a "cravelatte" instead of lunch?- or with issues dealt with in the book- eating disorders, for example), as well as similar covers, similar titles, etc.

This weeks theme is "Cute Enough to Eat", being covers with adorable candy and food pictures

that are so cute and sweet they kinda make me hungry :)

Books Featured On Todays Post:

Artichoke's Heart, by Suzanne Suplee (Loved it!)

Girl Meets Cake, by Susie Day (I loved her other book... this hasn't been released yet in the US but I've been anticipating it since before I started this review site!)

The Cupcake Queen, by Heather Hepler (I love the 3 books she cowrote with Brad Barkley, and can't wait to see how she does on her own!)

LA Candy, by Lauren Conrad (Anyone read this? It's on my TBR pile, and I've read the first 50 pages or so... I'm sorry, but UGH. I can't think of how to describe it, but it's the kind where it's just boring drivel of nothingness... but hey, you gotta love the gorgey cover!)

Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies, by Erin Dionne (I'm dying to read this! Is it out yet? I can't find it anywhere, has anyone bought it? Anyways, I had to include this because of the Oreos, my weakness)

P.S. We now have a new participant in Theme Thursday- Allison from Read Into This! Thanks to her for adding some amendments to what TT entails- adding books with similar covers, books with similar titles, etc. Definitely makes it easier to make a Theme! Head over to her site to see what she's doing this week. (Too lazy too hyperlink... http://readintothis.blogspot.com)

Theme Thursday: Coffee Coffee Coffee!

Heylo chickadees! I've been racking my brain for ideas, and then I looked to my chai latte for inspiration (coz we all know coffee is always the answer), and then it came to me to do a coffee themed Thursday feature! *wipes sweat off forehead from the seriously draining thinking*

Items:

Confessions of A Triple Shot Betty, by Jody Gehrman

Death by Latte, by Linda Gerber

Coffeehouse Angel, by Suzanne Selfors

The Espressologist, by Kristina Springer

(Drop a comment if you have something you'd like to add- this is my favorite theme!)

My thoughts on the books:

CoaTSB: I just wrote a review a while ago- I wasn't a big fan of it. But it was still a decent book, and should be counted in!

Death by Latte: I've yet to read this series, and just so you know, this is the 2nd book. But I love the cover, and, of course, the coffee cup.

C0ffeehouse Angel: My very first ARC, and thatwasn't the only reason I loved it :) If you haven't read it yet I highly recommend it, although it did have some flaws, but then, what book doesn't?

The Espressologist: Personally, I liked the old cover of the book better... but this one is growing on me :P It's just that it's been done before so, so many times, and doesn't catch your attention as much as the other. BUT, the book itself sounds fantastic, I can't wait to read it!

Theme Thursday Ideas?

Hey everyone... I'm trying to write Theme Thursday but I can't think of any themes! Does anyone have any? I'd really appreciate it :)

Theme Thursday #1: Adorkable

Haha, I know it's a lamo name, I'll change it when I get a better one, with an ounce of creativity :) So Theme Thursday is something I came up with last week, I read a post by Alice from Read Into This! called Geek Display, and it gave me an idea: every Thursday I'll get a bunch of books with the same theme, per my readers request ( email me at meggymegmeg96@yahoo.com is you have any themes you want for next week, I'm totally blanking!), and then you'll have new books you know about in a category you love reading about! *Wooo!!*

So for this first Theme Thursday I'm doing geek books. Yes, I totally stole this theme from Allison- Sorry, Allison! You get a virtual cookie for putting up with the theme, ok? ;)

Enjoy :) All of these are/look fantastic, right? Now go forth and embrace your geekdom with these books :)
