Virtuosity by 


Jessica Martinez

Publication dateOctober 18th 2011 , Simon Pulse


Genre: Contemporary Young adult


Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmen's whole life is violin, and until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isn't just hot...what if Jeremy is better?
Carmen knows that kissing Jeremy can't end well, but she just can't stay away. Nobody else understands her—and riles her up—like he does. Still, she can't trust him with her biggest secret: She is so desperate to win she takes anti-anxiety drugs to perform, and what started as an easy fix has become a hungry addiction. Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even more sick of always doing what she’s told, doing what's expected.
Sometimes, being on top just means you have a long way to fall...

Really love this cover, which drew me in . If you don't remember i'd reviewed this--------->Virtuosity
my lovely adoration  is on that page.


Gone, Gone, Gone by

Hannah Moskowitz

Publication date : April 17th 2012 , Simon Pulse

It's a year after 9/11. Sniper shootings throughout the D.C. area have everyone on edge, trying to make sense of the random acts of violence. Meanwhile, Craig and Lio are just trying to make sense of their lives.

Craig's crushing on quiet, distant Lio, and preoccupied with what it meant when Lio kissed him...and if he'll do it again...and if kissing Lio will help him finally get over his ex-boyfriend, Cody.

Lio feels most alive when he's with Craig. He forgets about his broken family, his dead brother, and the messed up world. But being with Craig means being vulnerable, and Lio will have to decide whether love is worth the risk.

“Written with depth and heart and a quirky sweetness that I just adore. These are characters I will never forget. Fans of Will Grayson, Will Grayson will love this book.” –Amy Reed, author of Beautiful and Cle
an.





love the cover, the worn out sneakers on a wooden floor. The 9/11 mention in the synopsis drew my attention as well. The 10 year anniversary of that incident was just a month ago. a love story and is from the same publishers. I have got high hopes and really want to read it right now.





So, that's what's on my  wishlists this week -
what's on yours?
