Waiting on Wednesday: Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where you talk about whatever book you are IMPATIENTLY WAITING for!

This is my FIRST Waiting on Wednesday!
And i'm very very VERY impatiently waiting for....
REQUIEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodreads Description:
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.

After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.







Okay, okay... First let me start out by saying this: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE DELIRIUM SERIES, PICK IT UP PRONTO!!!
Anyway, I LOVE THE DELIRIUM SERIES!
And the last book? Pandemonium? IT ENDED IN SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY!! (CLIFFHANGER!!!)
IT'S ABSOLUTE TORURE!!!!!!!!!!!
If only I could read  a sneak peek...

2013 TBR PILE Reading Challenge

(Click the little picture to learn about the challenge! XD)
I love challenges! I don't know why but challenges always make me feel so... accomplished! And a reading challenge? HECK YES! There's only one teeny-tiny problem... I have to write reviews.
You may not know this, but my reviews suck! I'm trying, I AM HONESTLY TRYING! But my reviews still suck!  That may be, but I will not let this opportunity pass! So here I am, actually signing up for this challenge!
1-10: A Firm Handshake
That's how many books I am aiming for. I know that I can definitely read more but, again, I do not write a review for every book I read. What I tend to do is: if I feel like writing a review for a book I just read, I do. If I don't feel like writing a review, I don't. So I don't exactly plan which books I write reviews to.  That being said, i'm not going to post the books i'm reading... yet
Notice: I'm probably going to change my goal as I go along...
Have a great day!!

What Happens When I Get Bored #2

I always seem to finish my art projects early in art class.
The problem with this is that my teacher wants me to do something art related while waiting for the next project.
MEANING: I CANNOT READ A BOOK!!!
So I generally have to start my own "independent project" but sometimes i'm too lazy to start my own project so I just doodle.
Yesterday was one of those days...
I decided to conduct an experiment!
I wanted to see if I could create value using only sharpies.
Here's what I turned up with:

Yes, that is drawn in a student planner/agenda thing... but I didn't want to waste paper, okay!
It's supposed to be a hat with a rainbow coming out of it... (I know, i'm not very creative)

Anyway!
That's what happens when I get bored!
Have a great day! :)
