Tune in Tuesday (10)...Soundtrack Edition!!


Today it is once again time for Tune in Tuesdays, a really cool meme created by my friend Ginger (or "G" as I like to call her!) over at GReads! This is a super fun meme that is filled with all sorts of music sure to give you a boost of energy and make you smile.

This Friday's Question:

Book Blogs That Make You Smile:

Review: Going too Far/Forget You by Jennifer Echols

Going Too Far
by Jennifer Echols
release date 3/17/09

product description from goodreads.com

All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.

John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing...

Waiting on Wednesday: BECOME!

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.

This week's selection is one that I just can't wait to read. I've chatted with the author on Twitter and she's so nice, which is icing for what sounds like an awesome read! My WoW pick is...

Monday Must Reads...SHATTER ME!

Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read! (ha!).

Today's selection is another one that came from a friend (that seems to be happening a lot lately!), so I think it's perfect to pass the love along even more. It doesn't actually come out until next month, so technically it could be my Monday Must Read and my Waiting on Wednesday! (but I won't do that to you...I'm not mean like that. Ignore that voice telling you I'm lying. I'm not mean.)

Today...

by Brian Farrey
Release Date: 5/24/2011
page count: 368

product description from goodreads.com


Eighteen year-old Evan and his best friend, Davis, get beaten up for being loners. For being gay. For just being themselves. But as rough as things often seem, at least Evan can take comfort in his sweet, sexy boyfriend Erik--whom he's kept secret from everyone for almost a year.



Then Evan and Davis are recruited to join the Chasers, a fringe crowd that promises them protection...
