"Look, it's feminism," the author shouts, pushing words in my face. I shake my head in disgust. "I don't know what that is but it isn't feminism."

We are incredibly excited today to be part of the THE RIGHT SIDE OF RECKLESS blog tour! Whitney D. Grandison's book came out yesterday, and if you're in the mood for a romance read this summer, THE RIGHT SIDE OF RECKLESS is exactly the book to add to your TBR list:

When a bad boy in need of a second chance meets a good girl who is off limits, sparks fly and forbidden friendship forms in this edgy own-voices romance, perfect for fans of Katie McGarry and Kristina Forest.

They were supposed to ignore each other and respect that fine line between them…

Guillermo Lozano is getting a fresh start. New town, new school, and no more reckless behavior. He’s done his time, and now he needs to right his wrongs. But when his work at the local community center throws him in the path of the one girl who is off limits, friendship sparks…and maybe more.

Regan London needs a fresh perspective. The pressure to stay in her “perfect” relationship and be the good girl all the time has worn her down. But when the walls start to cave in and she finds unexpected understanding from the boy her parents warned about, she can’t ignore her feelings anymore.

The disapproval is instant. Being together might just get Guillermo sent away. But when it comes to the heart, sometimes you have to break the rules and be a little bit reckless…

You can read a first chapter excerpt here!

July re-read-a-thon TBR

This is my rereadathon TBR and I’m super excited to get through all of these:

* Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - this will be my... 5th time reading this book, and I’m just as excited as always. This is my favourite book in the whole world and I can’t wait to go back on the Alexander.

* Armada by Ernest Cline - I’ve only read this once and genuinely loved it! I know people didn’t really enjoy this book (especially compared to the author’s other, more famous work, Ready Player One), but I had a blast reading it and I’m excited to get through it again.

* 1984 by George Orwell - this is my favourite classic and, when compiling this TBR, I realised I had never actually read this book in English before, just in Romanian. So I’m super curious to see if reading the original hits differently.

* Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry - I needed a fluffy contemporary to kind of balance out the other books that I plan on reading, and I remember enjoying this so much! I mean, bad boys on motorcycles, sign me in haha

* City of Bones by Cassandra Clare - I think this will be my... 3rd? time reading this - I just get an urge to reread The Mortal Instruments every few years and I usually have so much fun with it, so I’m super keen to go back to the Shadowhunter universe

I might add more, might decide not to read some of these, but we’ll see how the month goes :)

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry - blurrypetals review

originally posted feb. 25, 2016 - ★★★★★

I think I've found my Colleen Hoover-type author for the year. I really liked this. If this series ends up getting as good as Nowhere But Here is, then this will be a good mourning period/palate cleanser series to have around.

[dazzledbybooks]

Fifteen-year-old JL Markham’s life used to be filled with carnival nights and hot summer days spent giggling with her forever best friend Aubrey about their families and boys. Together, they were unstoppable. But they aren’t the friends they once were. With JL’s father gone on long term business, and her mother struggling with her mental illness, JL takes solace in the tropical butterflies she raises, and in her new, older boyfriend, Max Gordon. Max may be rough on the outside, but he has the soul of a poet (something Aubrey will never understand). Only, Max is about to graduate, and he's going to hit the road - with or without JL. JL can't bear being left behind again. But what if devoting herself to Max not only means betraying her parents, but permanently losing the love of her best friend? What becomes of loyalty, when no one is loyal to you? Gae Polisner’s Jack Kerouac is Dead to Me is a story about the fragility of female friendship, of falling in love and wondering if you are ready for more, and of the glimmers of hope we find by taking stock in ourselves. Early Praise: "Jack Kerouac is Dead to Me is an absolutely real, raw and emotional read, and it's a book that touched my heart with every page." - Katie McGarry, critically acclaimed author of Only a Breath Apart"Gae Polisner has done it again. I absolutely loved this beautiful, heart-wrenching story about friendship, family, and first love, and what happens when they all fall apart. Jack Kerouac is Dead to Me is a truly special book." - Lauren Spieller, author of Your Destination Is on the Left Buy link: https://wednesdaybooks.com/the-real-deal/jack-kerouac-is-dead-to-me/ Review: Jack Kerouac is Dead to Me by Gae Polisner is definitely an emotional tale. This novel is pretty raw. IT is telling about the struggles of JL's (Jean-Louise) life. JL's mom suffers from dissociation disorder so she is in a depressed fog constantly. There are days that she barely gets out of her bed. JL's dad is on a business trip. JL's best friend Aubrey has shunned her. JL has a boyfriend named Max that is a bit rough around the edges but he is really smart. Max wants to go to California after he graduates and he has invited JL to go with him. JL doesn't want to leave her mother alone. As the reader you see JL struggle with what is going on in her life. She doesn't know what to do. She is having to be the caretaker of the family when it should be one of her parents. JL feels pressure from Max especially with their age difference because he is ready to have sex and she isn't. Then she is also being put into situations that she is uncomfortable with. I just feel like this book had some really odd mature content in it. The fact that it eludes to the fact that Max sleeps with JL's mother. Like Why? Did that really need to be in a young adult book? Was that added for shock factor? I found that this wasn't my favorite story to read. It had some moments that I just didn't understand. Excerpt: LATE JUNE BEFORE EIGHTH GRADE The day is hot. We’re running through the sprinkler in my backyard, dodging in and out of the cold spray that fans over us, shrieking as droplets rain down onto our sun-warmed, tanned skin. You push me closer as the arc of water returns, and I fall onto the grass, wet, laughing, taking you down with me. The sod under us is new and soft, and the freshly cut blades stick to our limbs, our faces. We are giddy with summer, with each other. We are still on the cusp of everything. Afterwards, you turn off the hose, and we lie on faded chaise lounges we drag to the middle of my yard, our chests heaving with rapid, satisfied breaths in our barely-filled- out bikini tops. You reach out and take my hand and an indescribable sort of electricity shoots through me, real and palpable, as if I could reach out the fingers of my other hand and touch it, some white-hot charge that holds us together. We are friends—best friends—but more than that. We are entirely, platonically, in love. “See that cloud, JL?” You let go and point off beyond the top of the tallest sycamore branches. “It looks like a giant mushroom, doesn’t it?” My eyes follow your finger, my hand cold from the loss. “Do you see it there?” I bust out laughing. “What’s so funny?” you ask, your voice defensive. I lean all the way over, tilt your face a bit with my hand to change the angle. “It looks a lot like something else, Aubs. Look again.” You sit up and squint to see clearer. After a second, you say, “Oh my god, it’s a giant penis cloud, isn’t it?” and we both fall apart laughing. When our stomachs hurt so bad we have to fight from laughing more, you lie back down and ask softly, “Have you ever seen one for real, JL?” “A penis? No.” I think for a minute. “I mean, pictures, yes, but not in real life, in person. Why? You?” You nod and look at me, eyes big, mouth covered by your own hand like you’ve revealed some dangerous se- cret, making me sit up and demand, “Okay, spill! Whose?” You shake your head hard, your eyes round over your still- cupped fingers. I run off a few names, guessing. “David Brundage?” “Scott Silvestri?” “Matthew Flynn?” You uncover your mouth. “God, no! I hear it’s giant, though. Like a grown man’s . . .” “Well, tell, then.” “No one from school,” you say, covering your mouth again and adding through half-open fingers, “closer to home, JL. Come on.” “Ew, Ethan’s?” I squeal too loudly, and you nod, and we both shriek and shudder in exaggerated, disgusted delight. “Oh my god!” I say. “Why?” “By accident, obviously. I wasn’t trying! I walked in on him in the bathroom. He forgot to lock the door, and—” “Ew! So gross! Don’t tell me!” I cry, but I have a thou- sand questions. Ones I will never dare ask. “Right? Totally. That thing is, like, burned into my brain!” We shudder one more time for good measure. After, we’re quiet for a while, and the clouds shift and the mushroom one feathers out and disappears. I take your hand this time, feeling the electric bond re- turn as I swing our clasped fingers together in the space between our chairs. “I love you,” I say. “Me too,” you respond too quickly. I roll my head to the side and smile, and you add, “Your boobs are getting big- ger than mine. No fair.” “They are?” I glance down my chest toward my two pa- thetic, barely-there mounds beneath the bikini fabric. You nod. “Yes. And you’re so pretty—too pretty—you’re really perfect, you know? I’ve never had a friend as perfect as you.” It should be a compliment but, instead, the electricity fizzles as if short-circuited, and my chest fills with an in- explicable sense of dread. Your admiration feels somehow fragile and conditional, and impossible to live up to. “No I’m not, don’t be stupid,” I say, irritated. I want to untangle my fingers, get up, and sprint across the lawn, but you squeeze harder to hold on. “Yes you are. Admit it.” “Aubs—” “Well, I think you are. I wish I were more like you. Pretty and free, and not afraid of anything, like your mother.” It feels worse when you add this, because you don’t know me if you think I’m like her. I’m nothing like her, off-kilter and unfettered, nor half as beautiful. I’m plain, but I’m solid. And, yet, it isn’t about me, suddenly. It’s what you have decided. You have judged me as one thing, and at some point, I will disappoint you by proving you wrong. “I am not,” I say again, to right things. “Are too,” you insist, making my face redden in protest. But you don’t notice. You don’t see. And even if you turned and looked at me, you couldn’t tell the flush of anger in my cheeks from too much sun. “I just wish I could be more like you. Geesh, that’s all.” “You do?” You nod, and squeeze my fingers even harder, and we both close our eyes. I leave them there in yours even though a few are starting to go numb. “So much,” you say. “Really?” “Yes. Really.” So, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you’re not judging me at all. I squeeze back, letting go of my unease, wanting to hold on to whatever spell has you enamored with me, instead. Or maybe I’m weak and don’t have the heart to call out the lie, and tell you how afraid of everything I really am. About the Author: GAE POLISNER is the award-winning author of In Sight of Stars, The Memory of Things, The Summer of Letting Go, The Pull of Gravity, and Jack Kerouac is Dead to Me. She lives on Long Island with her husband, two sons, and a suspiciously-fictional looking dog. When Gae isn't writing, you can find her in a pool or the open waters off Long Island. She's still hoping that one day her wetsuit will turn her into a superhero.

Only a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry

Coming January 22, 2019!

Bestselling author Katie McGarry’s trademark wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance is given a new twist in the gritty YA contemporary novel, Only a Breath Apart.

They say your destiny is carved in stone. But some destinies are meant to be broken.

The only curse Jesse Lachlin believes in is his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year.

A fortuneteller tells Scarlett she's psychic, but what is real is Scarlett’s father’s controlling attitude and the dark secrets at home. She may be able to escape, but only if she can rely on the one boy who broke her heart.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings, but as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…

"A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love." —New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins "Gritty and real, Only a Breath Apart is a story of hope conjured from pain, strength drawn from innocence, and love earned from self-respect. Beautiful, poignant, and fierce.”—Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by the Broke and Bookish and hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl where we get a new topic for a top 10 list.

We’ve had a week to settle into 2019 and with it comes the task of sorting out and prioritising your most anticipated releases of 2019. It’s safe to say I’ve lost track of all the amazing books that are set to be released, but here are the 10 books I’m eagerly anticipating for the first half of 2019.

1. King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo (January 29th): Leigh Bardugo has made her mark on the reding community and while I’ve still not read the Grisha Verse trilogy, I have heard of the treasure that is Nikolai and I can’t wait to get an insight into his mind.

2. Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner (February 26th): Another author I’ve yet to cross off my to-read list. Jeff Zentner has developed a reputation for producing novels that will punch you in the feels several times over.  This book seems to have a strong emphasis on friendship and I’m always looking for a book that spotlights the ever-changing nature of friendship. 

3. Only a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry (January 22nd): Katie McGarry’s books are my addiction. I cannot get enough of her writing and I am 100% certain that this one will grab me from the very start.

4. Courting Darkness by Robin LaFevers (February 5th): I’m a sucker for all things dark and twisted, so this book is right up my alley. The idea of spotlighting the undercover agents face is fascinating because there are so many angles to explore.

5. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (February 26th): Who doesn’t have this book on their most anticipated list? Not only do you have a stunning cover, but this book follows the journey of three women whose lives are linked together by magic and intrigue. It sounds incredible. 

6. Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan (April 2nd): Girls that can talk to gods? I can definitely get behind that. Everything about this book sounds dark and deadly and I can’t wait to unravel the secrets of this world.

7. Internment by Samir Ahmed (March 19th): This is an important book, one which can easily be related to the issues plaguing our society. It’s clear that this book will be thought-provoking and moving, but may also ignite that sense of hope within readers.

8. Descendant of the Crane by Joan He (April 2nd): Yet another promising fantasy. There is so much to love already about this book. The cover, the political intrigue, the assassination of a king, and the burden of being a leader.

9. Again, but Better by Christine Riccio (May 21st): I’m intrigued by this book. I don’t watch a lot of booktube, but the premise of this book sounds promising and I think I could see myself relating to the struggle our main character faces.

10. The Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay (June 18th): Another book that looks to pack some punches. I think it will be interesting to explore the ways one event can quickly influence the path a person takes because there is a lot of room for character growth and I am so excited to see where this story takes us.

What are your most anticipated books of 2019?

Katie McGarry has a new novel coming out January 22nd!!

Bestselling author Katie McGarry’s trademark wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance is given a new twist in the gritty YA contemporary novel, Only a Breath Apart.

They say your destiny is carved in stone. But some destinies are meant to be broken.

The only curse Jesse Lachlin believes in is his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year.

A fortuneteller tells Scarlett she's psychic, but what is real is Scarlett’s father’s controlling attitude and the dark secrets at home. She may be able to escape, but only if she can rely on the one boy who broke her heart.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings, but as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…

"A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love." —New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins "Gritty and real, Only a Breath Apart is a story of hope conjured from pain, strength drawn from innocence, and love earned from self-respect. Beautiful, poignant, and fierce.”—Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series
