This weeks question-
Q)Book Blogger Identity-What occupies your time when you are not reading and/or blogging?
I love such kind of questions so I probably will have a LOT to say.Here goes, my attempt to include all the things I do when I'm not reading or blogging, in a few paragraphs.
When I'm not reading or blogging, I usually am dancing. I love dancing A LOT!!!!!!!! Its an essential part of who I am. I am also well known among my friends for dancing. I love to break dance, pop and lock, street dance, hip hop, robot dance, krump, contemporary, ballet ( I often add a few moves of ballet here and there in my dance but I'm not a ballerina as in I don't know much about it.), bollywood cinematic dance and a lot more. Dancing is my life. I wouldn't be able survive without. I love the way some beats make me wanna get on the floor. I just feel so happy when I am dancing, like I could go on and on without caring about anyone or anything.What's more important is I have taught myself how to dance, I've never attended any classes or anything. And that's what I love more.That I can dance for myself, dance on my own.However I want, whatever I want.Without the restrictions of a coach.
I also love to sing, play my guitar and keyboard. They are also very important for me.
I am in a hurry right now, so I'll elaborate later. But yeah, dancing is MY LIFE. Sorry friends, but you'll get to read more about me sometime later.Thanks for stopping by.

I'd be  totally honored if I could be Rose and I would be floating in heaven if I could date Dimitri. They are both so amazing. I really like female characters who are like warrior types.

Waiting on Wednesday---6---

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme which features a couple of books that you are eagerly waiting for. Usually its only about 1 book but I am going to add more.Its hosted by Breaking the Spine.  To participate just hop over to her blog and add your link in Mr.Linky. Here are my books for the week on WOW-

Synopsis-
Anna is dreading another tourist-filled summer on Dune Island that follows the same routine: beach, ice cream, friends, repeat. That is, until she locks eyes with Will, the gorgeous and sweet guy visiting from New York. Soon, her summer is filled with flirtatious fun as Anna falls head over heels in love.

But with every perfect afternoon, sweet kiss, and walk on the beach, Anna can’t ignore that the days are quickly growing shorter, and Will has to leave at the end of August. Anna’s never felt anything like this before, but when forever isn’t even a possibility, one summer doesn’t feel worth the promise of her heart breaking….

Synopsis-

Charlotte’s best friend thinks Charlotte might be psychic. Her boyfriend thinks she’s cheating on him. But Charlotte knows what’s really wrong: She is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth, who feels the Need—a powerful, uncontrollable draw to help someone, usually a stranger.

There have been others before who’ve felt the Need, but they’re gone—erased from the memories of everyone whose lives they had touched. It's as though they never existed. This is the fate that awaits Charlotte. But the last thing Charlotte wants to do is disappear, to be Forgotten. She wants to stay with her best friend, whose life is spiraling out of control. She wants to lie in her boyfriend’s arms forever. She wishes she could just ignore the Need, but she can’t. And as everyone important in her life begins to slowly forget her, she has to decide if she’ll fight the Need in order to remain herself—no matter how dark the consequences.

Synopsis-

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure-bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:

Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Lovely books,aren't they?? Can't wait for them to come out!!!!!I added Sixteenth Summer even though it got published yesterday because I read half of it and couldn't finish the book, so I can't wait to get my hands on a paperback copy of it. What's on your WOW??Leave a link,friends , and I'll be sure to stop by and follow.

I feel the blood rush up to my face,and then rush again because I'm embarrassed that I'm blushing.I don't know if it's because of _____'s proximity (how did I miss him before?) or the new coach

Review---The Magnolia League by Katie Crouch.

Thank you so much to the publishers at Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Blogger friends- Hope you guys enjoy this review.

After the death of her mother, Alex is forced to go and live at her grandmother’s place in Savannah, Georgia.  Her grandmother being part of The Magnolia League- a society of women, young looking and beautiful- Alex gets easy access to all the things which scream “RICH”.  Not to mention all the special privileges that ladies in the Magnolia League hog on.  But something deep within Alex tells her its not the place for her.  She do anything to go back to the commune farm where she came from.  Now the real question is – “Can she turn her back on them before they turn her into someone she doesn’t  recognize”?

The Magnolia League by Katie Crouch is a sort of fantasy read if you consider the part where all Magnolia women are glowing, beautiful, look way too young for their age.  The girl  on the front cover is pretty and the way she sits on the chair shows that she was born to lead.   Looking at the cover, the book was an instant favourite.  It wasn’t a bad read but it wasn’t out of the world also, rather it was a fun experience.  I made a new fictional friend – Alex.  Throughout the book, I would find myself talking to Alex, as if  she were a real person, assisting and guiding her when I thought what she was doing wasn’t right.  But something about the story didn’t fit right for me.  It was like a puzzle with all the pieces in place except two to three stubborn ones which refused to fit anywhere.  The ending was so sad.  I understood Alex’s decision very well but I so badly wish that the circumstances would have been a little more better for her.

Alex is a woman of determination.  She loves her mother unconditionally.  Its great that she would choose her family over anything else.  I feel she is a little low on the self confidence part.  So what if you are not skinny and don’t have straight, glossy, tangle-less hair.  Atleast you are yourself.  Alex shouldn’t have been insecure about herself and also she needs to learn how to trust loved ones (I was practically yelling at her).  Her grandmom is a spendthrift.  She doesn’t mind handing out 1000 dollar bills as long as you come back home with some designer tidbits.  She is very particular about mannerisms and likes to be praised.  There are many other characters but I cant tell much about them without including some main parts of the story (that would be boring)

Over all it’s a fine read.  Maybe you should try it out, see it you like it.  And if you do read/have read,  don’t forget to tell me what you think.

What do you think??

Firstly I would like to thank S&S for all of these egalleys. I totally love these books and I am still floating in heaven. I still haven't gotten over the fact that I received such amazing books this week. Here are my weekly wonders.

Ooooo....Pretty chick.Yet another lovely book.

Aren't you'll eager for the reviews of these books?? Have any of you read any of these??Don't forget to comment and let me know, what you think of them.

A tiny problem-The Summer of Firsts and Lasts gets published on 3rd May which is the day after tomorrow. I am currently reading Sixteenth Summer which as you may know (or not) also gets published on the same day, so I don't think I will be able to finish The Summer of Firsts and Lasts, which is so sad considering the fact that I absolutely loved Al@Magnet 4 Books' Reviews review of the book. *sigh sigh sigh*. What do I do??? Boohoo :(
