Goodreads Summary:

Alex and Becca have always been best friends. But when Becca does something nearly unforgivable at Alex’s dad’s funeral, Alex cuts ties with her and focuses on her grieving family. 

Time passes, and Alex finally decides to forgive Becca. Then she’s hit with another shocker: Becca has cancer. It also turns out Becca has a bucket list, one she doesn’t know she’ll be able to finish now. That’s where Alex comes in, along with a mysterious and guarded boy who just may help Alex check a few items off her own bucket list.

Julie Halpern writes about illness, loss, love, and friendship with candor and compassion. Here is an unforgettable book about living fully, living authentically, and just . . . living.

Why I'm Waiting For It: I'll have to admit, I kinda love sad YA books, I have no idea why but they either turn out amazing or a let down. The F- It List sounds really intriguing and the cover is interesting. Crossing my fingers this one is amazing!

The F- It List hits shelves March 31, 2015!

Currently Obsessing Over: TV Show & Iced Tea!

This is probably the first time I'm not doing a review, meme, or other bookish related post! This week I'm currently obsessing over: TV Shows and Iced Tea.

TV Shows:

Right now, I'm currently watching SO many shows, its almost too much to count. But at the moment, I love Scandal and How To Get Away with Murder

 

I'm absolutely obsessed with Scandal! Currently, it's on the fourth season, and honestly it is one of the best! Kerry Washington's acting is purely amazing, and all the action and suspense left from last week's episode is still shocking me! If you guys haven't started Scandal, please start now, you will NOT regret it!

You guys probably heard about How To Get Away with Murder right?? I am so obsessed with this one! Shonda Rhimes is also writing the script and of course we know it will be great because Scandal was die-hard amazing! HTGAWM has everything for a perfect TV Show: Suspense, action, mystery and who doesn't love Viola Davis? Pick this one up!

Iced Tea:

Hands down, I am one of the biggest Iced Tea drinks out there. One of the drinks I only get at Starbucks is a Venti Iced Green Tea and I have always been getting one every time I go. Currently, I'm try to do a couple homemade iced tea with all sorts of flavors. 

Yesterday, I made a Iced Black Tea with Orange and it turned out to be mind-blowingly amazing! I never knew how homemade drinks could be this great! 

 

  What are you guys currently obsessing over this week? Comment below and tell me, I'd love to read them!

Waiting on Wednesday (#70) - The Tightrope Walkers by David Almond

Waiting on Wednesday is Hosted by Jill @ Breaking The Spine

 

Goodreads Summary:

International award winner David Almond draws on memories of his early years in Tyneside, England, for a moving coming-of-age novel, masterfully told.

A gentle visionary coming of age in the shadow of the shipyards of northern England, Dominic Hall is torn between extremes. On the one hand, he craves the freedom he feels when he steals away with the eccentric girl artist next door, Holly Stroud—his first and abiding love—to balance above the earth on a makeshift tightrope. With Holly, Dom dreams of a life different in every way from his shipbuilder dad’s, a life fashioned of words and images and story. On the other hand, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the brutal charms of Vincent McAlinden, a complex bully who awakens something wild and reckless and killing in Dom. In a raw and beautifully crafted bildungsroman, David Almond reveals the rich inner world of a boy teetering on the edge of manhood, a boy so curious and open to impulse that we fear for him and question his balance—and ultimately exult in his triumphs.

 Why I'm Waiting For It: Hands down, I'm in love with the cover! I'm digging the color palette and I love the two people dancing on the rope. It may be simple, but definitely catching!

The whole plot of the book sounds great. I enjoy reading contemporaries and The Tightrope Walkers sounds intriguing and well-written. And its one of the first contemporaries that is written from a guys' perspective! It's very rare and I think would help connect guys readers to the book. 

Very excited to pick this one up!

The Tightrope Walkers will be hitting shelves on March 24, 2015!
