Waiting on Wednesday (12)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme held on... you guessed it, WEDNESDAY and it's hosted by the wonderful Jill at Breaking the Spine!

Release Date: August 28, 2012
Publisher: Harlequin
304 Pages

Freshman Rose Zarelli has rage issues. 

First of all, her father lost his job, took work as a contractor in Iraq...and never came home. 

Second, she likes the wrong guy and his super-intense, scary cheerleader girlfriend is now her nemesis. 

Third, her fashionista best friend, Tracy, is suddenly infinitely cooler than she is—and talking about losing her virginity. (What?!)

Rose is ahead when it comes to studying for the PSAT, but she’s so far behind socially that she might as well be moving backward. She needs Tracy’s help choosing the right clothes, she likes all the wrong extracurricular activities, and she can’t even make a decision about which photo of her father to put on the memorial website she’s making (and hiding from her adolescent-shrink mother). 

With her brother away at college and her mother always locked in her office with her messed-up teen patients, Rose struggles to get through each day without inflicting bodily harm on anyone.

This sounds like a really good book. An emotional ride that isn't like all of the other contemporaries that are coming out now-a-days. I love the cover, too!


Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

I'm pumped to see this movie because it's the sequel to the best guy movie. It has all the best action heroes in it! I'm really excited to see Arnold Schwarzenegger!
