Waiting On Wednesday - The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

This Weeks Choice:

 

 THE FUTURE OF US by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler.

 

Expected Publication Date:
November 21, 2011 (US)
January 5, 2012 (UK)

Blurb taken from Goodreads:

It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet.

Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM.

Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future.

Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

Sounds BRILLIANT!!

I really have no idea how I heard about this book (probably through Goodreads), but it sounds like just the right book for me!

I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

What are you anxiously waiting for?

Time Travel Reading Challenge 2011

I'm a huge Time Travel fan when it comes to books. LOVE them. One of my all time favourites is Cross Stitch (AKA Outlander) by Diana Gabaldon. I first read it 20 years ago and have read countless books since but it still holds the number one spot on my 'Best ever Book' list.

I have a few TT's on my TBR shelf that I need to take care of but with sooooo many other books also clamouring to be picked up I thought I could use some help to get to them so I've joined in with Alyce's challenge at her blog At Home With Books.
It's a very informal and flexible challenge and as long as it's completed within the timescale of Jan 1st 2011 to Dec 31st 2011 it's all good. I'm tentatively signing up for 5 books but this may increase as the year goes on. We shall see. Five is a good starting place.

Completed 1/5

1. Who's That Girl? - Alexandra Potter

2. The Mirror - Marlys Millhiser

3. The Accidental Time Machine - Joe Haldeman

4. The Summerhouse - Jude Deveraux

5. Beyond The Highland Mist - Karen Marie Moning (FINISHED 12th Jan 2011)


These are all books I already own so no excuse for me not to get to them.
