Short Blogging Break

Hey everyone!

I have to take a short blogging break - for one week or so, maybe more - in order to catch up in school. I spent a few days last week / weekend out of town to attend my grandmother's funeral, and I fell a bit behind on my homework (plus, I have a super-stressful group presentation this week, despite the fact that my group still haven't finished their parts).

Hopefully all of you have been having less hectic weeks! I'll be back soon, but you might catch me over on Twitter (@YABookQueen) every now and then during my break.

Have a lovely week!

Waiting on Wednesday (137): NEARLY GONE

WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine

NEARLY GONE by ELLE COSIMANO

March 25th, 2014 from Kathy Dawson Books

Bones meets Fringe in a big, dark, scary, brilliantly-plotted urban thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Nearly Boswell knows how to keep secrets. Living in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Like her mother's job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, and especially the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. But when a serial killer goes on a killing spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she confides in the one person she shouldn't trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, doing surveillance. . . on her.

Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it all out soon—she'll be next.

I'm a huge mystery fan, so I've had my eye on this one for quite some time...excited for the release next week! 

What are you waiting on?
