For the Month of January 2015

In the month of January, I feel like I've gotten a bit more organized on the blog, did some cleaning up, and was able to set a pretty good pace for myself where my reading goals are concerned. During the first week, I averaged reading about 2 and a half books, managing to get two reviews written and posted, as well as making sure I had at least 4+ posts scheduled in advance at all times. I decided that I was going to start my new year off with getting things ready, a little more organized, and set-up to where it would be easy for me to meet the goals that I've set for myself. I posted them here, if you'd like to take a look at them. If you have any tips on helping to keep myself organized, as far as keeping track of my TBR and review piles or any other tips in general that might help out, link me to them or let me know in the comments below. I always welcome any advice from a fellow blogger. 

 And the big wow for me, is that I actually managed to read 16 books this month. Well, actually, if you break it down I read a total of 9 actual books and 6 novellas. This ended up putting me 9 books ahead of schedule on my Goodreads Challenge for this year. So I'm pretty much all...

Wishful Wednesday: I Was Here by Gayle Forman


Wishful Wednesday was inspired by Waiting on Wednesday and Desperately Wanting Wednesday by Breaking the Spine and Parajunkee.

Wishful Wednesday is my own little version of "Waiting On Wednesday". Every week, I'll pick an upcoming book that I'm anticipating the release for and showcase it here on the blog. This week, that book is going to be I Was Here by the beautifully talented Gayle Forman. 

Okay, I cannot even with this book, because it's Gayle Forman and nobody does contemporary like she does. And, because this looks like it's definitely going to have a hand in giving me ALL THE FEELS.

Expected Publication: January 27, 2015
Publisher: Viking Juvenile
Age Demographic: YA Contemporary
Pages: 288
Cody and Meg were inseparable. Two peas in a pod. Until . . . they weren’t anymore.

When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything—so how was there no warning? But when Cody travels to Meg’s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there’s a lot that Meg never told her. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, who broke Meg’s heart. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can’t open—until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend’s death gets thrown into question.

I Was Here is Gayle Forman at her finest, a taut, emotional, and ultimately redemptive story about redefining the meaning of family and finding a way to move forward even in the face of unspeakable loss.
