Hello loves! It’s time for another Waiting on Wednesday which 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

kissinggames

Expected publication: June 5th 2018 by Wednesday Books St Martins

Hardcover U.S. Edition 320 pages

Genre(s): Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance

The course of true love never did run smooth. For a girl who shares her name with a princess (a.k.a Aurora from Sleeping Beauty) Aurora Skye’s life seem fathoms away from a fairytale. Sure, she’s landed Hayden Paris, Potential Prince extraordinaire. And she got her wish — one first kiss with all the knee-trembling, butterfly-inducing gloriousness she’d hoped for. But Aurora’s learning that a kiss is just the beginning of a story. Instead of being the truly transcendent, utterly epic follow up it should be, her second attempt at kissing has literally landed Hayden Paris in the emergency room. If that’s not mortifying enough, the whole school is now referring to her as ‘Lethal Lips’.

Meanwhile it’s all systems go for her best friend Cassie – she and Potential Prince Scott are totally loved up and can’t stop kissing. Jelena (Jefferson High’s answer to Helen of Troy) has moved on from the heinous betrayal by Bad Boy Alex West and has unleashed her plan to rule the world by running for School Captain. Problem is Alex is running too and Jelena’s pulling out all the stops to prevent him from stealing her rightful place as ruler of Jefferson High – including offering Aurora’s Find a Prince/Princess Program as one of her campaign initiatives.

How is Aurora going to prove her program is foolproof and help Jelena win the election when her matchmaking manoeuvres seem to be throwing all the wrong people together – including the NAD and the hippy-dippy Ms Deforest — and she can’t even convince Hayden to kiss her?

Well, doesn’t this just sound so stinkin’ cute!?!? The premise seems hilarious and incredibly fun. The perfect lighthearted fluffy read for the summer. Definitely cannot wait for this book to come out and read it by the pool or beach.

somethingaboutme I almost drowned in the Bahamas when my family and I went snorkeling. My mom’s vest wasn’t inflated correctly and she panicked. She started pushing me down and it if wasn’t for the employees on the boat who grabbed her and pulled her out, I think I would have drowned.

I was very tomboyish when I was a little girl. All my cousins are boys so I wanted to do everything they did. I didn’t like wearing dresses and preferred to play outdoors with them.

I’m deathly afraid of spiders, but there was once a time when I played with them during my childhood. In the Philippines, I remember climbing trees and looking for spiders in curled leaves. The kids over there would put the spiders in matchboxes, keep them as pets, and have them battle each other. Now, even daddy long legs creep me out.

I have the strangest fear of whales. Ever since I watched Castaway with Tom Hanks and saw that scene where he’s face to face with the whale. It’s not extreme and I can watch movies and shows about whales. But just thinking about encountering one in real life totally makes me cringe and scares me.

I’ve failed my driving test 4 times and have been nervous and scared to drive ever since that one time I failed very baldy. I did get my permit again this year and hoping that the 5th time is the charm.
