Waiting on Wednesday - My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand

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

Here's this week's book I can't wait for...

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, 

Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

Expected Publication: 7th June 2016

Synopsis:For fans of The Princess Bride comes the comical, fantastical, romantical, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey.
Lady Jane Grey, sixteen, is about to be married to a total stranger—and caught up in an insidious plot to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But that’s the least of Jane’s problems. She’s about to become Queen of England. Like that could go wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of collaborations but I've read only good things about two of the three I just need to read something by Brodi. This book sounds so good I'm so excited to read it I just wish it was released sooner than June 2016!




What are you waiting on?

Top 10 Tuesday #10

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday everyone involved in the TTT will make a list of that weeks topic.



This weeks topic is: Top Ten Covers of 2012 (that we know of so far!)

I just had to do this topic this week as there has been so many beautiful covers that I want to share and where not even halfway through the year yet!

Starters by Lissa Price
I just love this cover I am a huge fan of it. I found it so stunning I just had to get a review copy of this but unfortunately I was only able to get the galley version but I am sure when this book comes out I will buy a final copy just so I can have the cover sitting on my shelf! Release date: 13th March 2012

Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
What can I say other than STUNNING! Release date: 31st January 2012

Torn by Amanda Hocking
These books was out a few years ago but are now being re-released in book format. I have picked the UK version as I prefer them over the American version although they are also stunning. I have only used one of the books but I love all of the series covers and they are similar to each other but I love them all the same. Release date: 1st March 2012

Everneath by Brodi Ashton
I love this cover. It's simple but with the extension of the dress and the smokey look at the bottom it just makes it look that bit more special. Release date: 24th January 2012

Fracture by Megan Miranda
I love the cover to this book it looks so beautiful and every time you look at it I see something else into it. I love the texture of the background and I love the reflection which ties into what the book is about. Release date: 17th January 2012

Rapture by Lauren Kate
I love all of this series covers but I think that this one is my favourite I hope that means the same about the actual book. Release date: 12th June 2012

The Selection by Kiera Cass
The moment I fist came across this cover I fell in love with it I just love everything about it. Release date: 24th April 2012

Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
I love the background of this cover especially the lightening it really stands out and also the title is a little big but I think it needs to so that it can stand out as well. Release date: 8th May 2012

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks
There may not be much going on in this book but for me it still stands out as one of my favourite book covers of this year as it looks more elegant than anything else. Release date: 22nd May 2012

The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long
Every time I see this cover it makes me want to read it. It looks so beautiful in the way the flowers flow onto the dress and into the background. Release date: 16th August 2012

In My Mailbox #18

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme that is hosted by The Story Siren. This is where we show what we have either bought or was given throughout the week gone by.









I never actually bought any books this week but I did have some swaps and review books.

Slide by Jill Hathaway

I got this book from readitswapit which I have been trying to get a review copy for awhile now so I was really pleased that I was able to get a swap for it and I am very much looking forward to reading it.

Everneath by Brodi Ashton

This was another swap but this time from Jodie over at Goodreads. I was so pleased that I was finally able to get this book I have heard so many good things about it and again I am really looking forward to reading it.

Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different by Karen Blumenthal

I received this from Bloomsbury (Ian Lamb) for review purposes and I have actually already read it and I found it very entertaining and the review should be up some time today.

I also got a couple of galley's over at Netgalley

White Witch by Trish Milburn

I really wanted to read this because of the title as this sounds like this would be my kind of book.

Interrupted by Rachel Coker

This sounded good so I just had to see if I could get it so I hope its going to be as good as it what it sounds like.

So that's what was in my mailbox this week, what did you get in yours?

Top Ten Tuesday #7

It's Monday What Are You Reading is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish in which we plan our reading week!


This weeks topic is: Top Ten Books I'm Excited To Read in 2012 (This list may include titles that have been released before 2012 but I am still looking forward to reading the series/book)

1. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare - I haven't read Clockwork Prince yet so I am looking forward to reading both Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess. I absolutely loved the first one and I just can't wait to find out what is going to happen next.
2. City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare - City of Fallen Angel wasn't as good as the first three in this series so I hoping that this one will be better.
3. Drake Chronicles by Alyxandra Harvey - I have only read the first one in this series but I loved it so much I had to get the rest that are out. There should also be a new one out this year that I no doubt will read.
4. Divergent by Veronica Roth - I heard so many good things about this book last year that I couldn't wait to get it myself and I will definitely be reading it in the next coming weeks and I for one can't wait!
5. Tempted by Julie Cross - I received this book for review and I am very much looking forward to read it.
6. Everneath by Brodi Ashton - I have been trying to get this for review but was never successful so I am very glad it is out soon and I can't wait.
7. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows - Another book that I kept trying to get for review but again unsuccessful so I really want to read it now. I love the front cover for this book which was one of the reasons why I wanted to read it to begin with and then there was a lot of high praise for it.
8. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi - This book I have seen around a lot and every time I see it, it's another great review for it which has made me very curious to read it.
9. Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles - I have read the first two of this series and loved them so I am really looking forward to reading it.
10. Rapture by Lauren Kate - I am so looking forward to this book with it being the last we should get some answers and I just can't wait to see how it will end bring it on!
