"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event here @ Inkk, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Viola in Reel Life
- by Adriana Trigiani
Avaliable NOW
Goodreads Summary
I'm marooned.
Abandoned.
Left to rot in boarding school . . .
Viola doesn't "want" to go to boarding school, but somehow she ends up at an all-girls school in South Bend, Indiana, far, far away from her home in Brooklyn, New York. Now Viola is stuck for a whole year in the sherbet-colored sweater capital of the world.
Ick.
There's no way Viola's going to survive the year--especially since she has to replace her best friend Andrew with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to "like" it there. She resorts to viewing the world (and hiding) behind the lens of her video camera.
Boarding school, though, and her roommates and even the Midwest are nothing like she thought they would be, and soon Viola realizes she may be in for the most incredible year of her life.
But first she has to put the camera down and let the world in

Trigiani is one of my favorite authors and this is her first YA book. Viola in Reel Life came out last month, but it seems that it'll be a while before I get around to reading it. So much on my list to read, plus being in grad school, and trying to catch up on book reviews, this may have to wait until summer vacation on the beach. It seems that I'm either swamped with stuff to do or I have time to read 3 books in a week. Not too much in between.
