Waiting on Wednesday (7)

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

From Goodreads: 

It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet.

Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM.

Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future.

Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

I have read some really awesome reviews about this book and I want to read it so bad! I absolutely loved 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, I haven't really read anything by Carolyn Mackler, so I can imagine that this book would be really good! It comes out November 21st, 2011!!

Top Ten and Teaser Tuesday

Top Ten Books That Should Be Required Reading For Teens:

10. Shakespeare

9. Any book by Sarah Dessen

8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by: Stephen Chbosky

7. The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins

6. To Kill A Mockingbird by: Harper Lee

5. Speak by: Laurie Halse Anderson

4. The Giver by: Lois Lowry

2. Thirteen Reasons Why by: Jay Asher

1. Harry Potter  by: J.K. Rowling

This series is first because it is simply magnificent! J.K. Rowling manages to create a story that transcends any age group. This series will always be my favorite and I will never be ashamed to say that I have read this series!

Like Stephen King said: 

"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity." (the rest of the quote is bashing twilight and not really relevant)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read, open to a random page, and s.hare two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

My Teaser:

"Maybe he's changed his mind," Simon suggested. "you know how he is. Moody. Fickle."

"I wouldn't know. I haven't really seen him since that time I threatened to kill him with a candelabra. He took it well, though. Didn't flinch."
"Fantastic," Simon says.

-pg. 11 "City of Fallen Angels" by Cassandra Clare

I kind of cheated and did more than two sentence but I'm on page 203 and this is by far my favorite quote so far and I couldn't bear the thought of not putting all of it.
