Waiting On Wednesday 16

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that highlights an upcoming book release that we are eagerly anticipating.


This week I have chosen Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski. Released on the 7th June 2011.

2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.

If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.

In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.

Doesn't it just sound so great. One big adventure with some pretty serious consequences. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

That's all for now.

    I saw this book last week. The synopsis sounds tempting for contemporary book.

    It's all about Books

    This sounds great! I'm so in the mood for more realistic/contemporary books right now, having just finished one I loved. I love them but for some stupid reason, I don't seem to read them as often as I do my paranormal/dystopian, etc.

    Great pick!
