Summer TBR 2018

I decided to specifically create a Summer TBR. Mostly because I haven't been able to read that many books this year compare to last year. I've just been too busy with other things. Like finishing my last semester, or fixing my succulent garden and taking care of them. Or working on my current story and trying to write as much as I can for that. But I want to read some of the books that I own so here are the ones I picked. Though I might add or take away books from this TBR.

To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin

Savannah is dreading being home alone with her overbearing mother after her sister goes off to college. But if she can just get through senior year, she'll be able to escape to college, too. What she doesn't count on is that her mother's obsession with weight has only grown deeper since her appearance on an extreme weight-loss show, and now Savvy's mom is pressuring her even harder to be constantly mindful of what she eats.

Between her mom's diet-helicoptering, missing her sister, and worrying about her collegiate future, Savvy has enough to worry about. And then she meets George, the cute new kid at school who has insecurities of his own. As Savvy and George grow closer, they help each other discover how to live in the moment and enjoy the here and now before it disappears.

Waiting on Wednesday #15 - The Big F by Maggie Ann Martin

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases.

I'm back to writing these post since there are some books that are coming out soon that I'll be keeping my eyes out for. One of them being The Big F.

The Big F by Maggie Ann Martin

Danielle effed up. Big time.

Danielle's plans for the future were pretty easy to figure out... until she failed senior English and her single college application was denied. Suddenly she's in hot water with very few options, because honestly who applies to a safety school when their mom is a semi-famous "college psychic"?!

Determined to get her life back on track, Danielle enrolls in her hometown community college with a plan: pass her English class and get back into Ohio State and her mother's good graces. Romance isn't on her radar... until she reconnects with her childhood crush and golden-boy-next-door, Luke.

Between family drama, first love and finding her own way, Danielle can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Thankfully she has her friendship with the snarky and frustratingly attractive Porter, her coworker at the campus bookstore, to push her to experience new things and help keep her afloat.

One thing's for sure: This time, failure's not an option.
