Waiting on Wednesday: Blackhearts

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine blog

This Wednesday I'm Waiting on: Blackhearts by Nicole Castroman

Blackbeard the pirate was known for striking fear in the hearts of the bravest of sailors. But once he was just a young man who dreamed of leaving his rigid life behind to chase adventure in faraway lands. Nothing could stop him—until he met the one girl who would change everything. This is their story.

Edward "Teach" Drummond, son of one of Bristol's richest merchants, has just returned from a year-long journey on the high seas to find his life in shambles. Betrothed to a girl he doesn’t love and sick of the high society he was born into, Teach dreams only of returning to the vast ocean he’d begun to call home. There's just one problem: convincing his father to let him leave and never come back.

Following her parents' deaths, Anne Barrett is left penniless and soon to be homeless. Though she’s barely worked a day in her life, Anne is forced to take a job as a maid in the home of Master Drummond. Lonely days stretch into weeks, and Anne longs for escape. How will she ever realize her dream of sailing to Curaçao—where her mother was born—when she's stuck in England?

From the moment Teach and Anne meet, they set the world ablaze. Drawn to each other, they’re trapped by society and their own circumstances. Faced with an impossible choice, they must decide to chase their dreams and go, or follow their hearts and stay.

Eight Upcoming Books With Covers I Love!

Today on the blog I'm going to list eight upcoming YA and Middle Grade books with covers I love! :)

Wanderlost by Jen Malone

Very pretty! :)

Summer Days & Summer Nights Edited by Stephanie Perkins

I just love how bright it is! And I love how it ties into the My True Love Gave to Me book with all the couples being on the cover of it! :)

You're Invited Too by Jen Malone and Gail Nall

The first book cover was darling, but I think I like this one even more! (And I want all their dresses! But especially the sparkly one Vi is wearing.) :)

Princess Juniper of the Anju by Ammi-Joan Paquette

I love how pretty and dramatic this cover is! :)

Love, Lies, and Spies by Cindy Anstey

Love the keys! :)

Even If The Sky Falls by Mia Garcia

The font and the pretty colors are the reason why I think this cover is gorgeous! :)

 Anything Paris and Eiffel Tower related on a cover make it a winner to me! :)

 Do you love all these covers, too? :)

Waiting on Wednesday: You're Invited Too

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine blog

This Wednesday I'm Waiting on: You're Invited Too by Jen Malone and Gail Nall

The party’s just getting started . . .

The four besties behind RSVP threw some of the best parties in town over the summer, and now they’re entrusted with a big-time wedding. Only problem? The Bridezilla’s demands are increasingly loony, and Sadie, Lauren, Becca, and Vi need to figure out how to handle her without going nuts themselves. But with school starting back up and tugging at their time and attention, that's not so easy!

Lauren is having an especially hard time with the balancing act, and when her grades suffer as a result, she’s seeing red. Vi’s dad has started his new job as janitor at her middle school and really, could anything be more mortifying? According to Becca—yes. That’s because she’s just learned she needs braces and she is not a happy camper. And Sadie’s already-strained relationship with her mom has not been helped one tiny bit by RSVP’s raiding of Mom’s VIP bride.

But none of that has anything on the hurricane that’s threatening both Sandpiper Beach and the first-ever RSVP wedding.
