Good Morning Bookish Friends! Time for another Waiting on Wednesday.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. A similar meme, Can’t-Wait Wednesday, is hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings. If you’d like to participate in either one, don’t forget to link back to these lovely ladies and add your links in their posts.

 

My pick for this week’s “can’t wait to read” is

Alyssa Brandon

Expected publication: April 10, 2018 Swoon Reads

Hardcover 288 Pages

Genre(s): Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance

synopsispic

A teen werewolf finally meets her destined soulmate only to discover that he’s not quite what she expected in this steamy debut romance.

She’s met her mate . . . and he’s met his match.

Megan Ross has been waiting her whole life for her mate to come and sweep her off her feet. But the wolf she meets on the beach is NOT the sweet gentle boy she’s been dreaming of. Instead, he’s a warrior, one whose suffering has led him to lock his heart away in a prison as cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their deep sexual attraction.

Far from home, with a soulmate who is still a stranger, Megan learns that the path to true love isn’t quite as straight and easy as she thought . . .

I love paranormal romances even if it’s cheesy. I read for fun, so as long as I end up being entertained and having a great time, that’s all that really matters to me. The premise of this book doesn’t sound super amazing, but it’s definitely something I think I would enjoy reading in one sitting –a very fun guilty pleasure read.

So what’s your Waiting on Wednesday pick today? Share those books, so I can add more on my TBR!

Michelle’s Questions 

  1. Biggest Bookish pet peeve? People who borrow books and never give them back or take long to return them and when they do, there are stains, folded pages, or the books are in really bad shape.
  2. Favourite scent? I don’t really have a particular favorite scent, but I do like light floral ones. Nothing too overpowering cause I’m very sensitive.
  3. Favourite bookish item? I love bookish totes and candles.
  4. An author whom you would buy all their books? Just to name a few — Marie Lu, Tahereh Mafi, Marissa Meyer, Colleen Hoover, Kasie West, and
  5. Favourite place to read? I read pretty much anywhere and whenever, but my favorite place will always be in the comfort of my own bed.

  9. Read or write? Why? I would love to write a book someday, but I’m too much of a perfectionist and can never make it past the first few pages, so definitely read. I love discovering new worlds, making friends, and having as many book boyfriends as I want.
  10. Favourite fiction world? And why? Sooo many, but it always comes down to the Harry Potter Universe.
  11. Your all time favourite fictional character? I can’t pick just one… I have so many favorites for different reasons, but some faves are Linh Cinder, Hermione Granger, Katniss Everdeen, Juliette Ferrars, and Adelina Amouteru,
