WWW Wednesday (7 August 2013)

WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Should Be Reading

I thought I wouldn't have time to do the meme this week. Since tomorrow is Eid al-Fitr and everyone at home is busy preparing for the big day. But here I am, writing my WWW Wednesday post because my mom and my sister have finished cooking the big feast. So, enjoy the fun :)

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?



What are you currently reading ?

I'm still reading Come Back To Me by Coleen Patrick which is a review book from Netgalley. Almost finish it.

[Review] A Really Awesome Mess - Trish Cook and Brendan Halpin

Title of Book : A Really Awesome Mess

Two teenagers. Two very bumpy roads taken that lead to Heartland Academy.

Justin was just having fun, but when his dad walked in on him with a girl in a very compromising position, Justin's summer took a quick turn for the worse. His parents' divorce put Justin on rocky mental ground, and after a handful of Tylenol lands him in the hospital, he has really hit rock bottom.

Emmy never felt like part of her family. She was adopted from China. Her parents and sister tower over her and look like they came out of a Ralph Lauren catalog-- and Emmy definitely doesn't. After a scandalous photo of Emmy leads to vicious rumors around school, she threatens the boy who started it all on Facebook.

Justin and Emmy arrive at Heartland Academy, a reform school that will force them to deal with their issues, damaged souls with little patience for authority. But along the way they will find a ragtag group of teens who are just as broken, stubborn, and full of sarcasm as themselves. In the end, they might even call each other friends.

A funny, sad, and remarkable story, A Really Awesome Mess is a journey of friendship and self-discovery that teen readers will surely sign up for.

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!

My Musing :
I'm back to my hometown after spending about a month to do internship. Which means, I could finish what I started reading back at home, Where We Belong by Emily Giffin.
