Musing Monday #11: Slammed (April 15th)

Musing Monday #11

Musing Monday is a weekly conversation thing hosted by Should Be Reading where you talk about one of three prompts. I also decided that I would do a cool vlog thing!! It was really fun to film (I usually prefer scripts though). 
Enjoy!

"Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…

• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren't) enjoying it."

Waiting on Wednesday #5: Stay by S. Mulholland

Logo via Readers Live 1,000 Lives

I thought it would be cool to do a Waiting on Wednesday since I've been finding a lot of to-be-published books lately! Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine. It's a weekly meme where you talk about a book you can't wait to have released.

Stay by S. Mulholland

Eighteen year old Alexandra has finally made it out of her abusive mother’s house alive, now going to St. Norbert College in the small town she grew up in; she wants to experience living her own life, free of abuse, but on the night she meets Jason Roberts; her fate has something different in mind.

Alexandra and Jason have a strong connection but the closer she gets to him, the further he shuts her out. This doesn’t stop Alexandra’s heart from falling in love with Jason and she fears that he might not feel the same way about her. Jason holds a lot of mystery and secrets that Alexandra tries to figure out but on a night when they are to meet, he never shows up, leaving her to mourn the loss of his absence.

Months later, he returns to tell her he’ll never be able to be with her the way that she wants to be with him. 

Hurt for the second time by the man she loves, Alexandra 

decides to move on with her life with what others told her to be 

“the perfect man”, Zac Millington, but as time goes by she 

realizes that things were never as they seemed…as he seemed.                                                                       

If you had the opportunity to change what becomes your worst                        

nightmare, would you take the chance to change it or pretend                                     

like that nightmare is what’s meant to be?

Release Date:

TBD

I found this author on Facebook and am really looking forward to reading this book. The plot seems unique (having the character already away from the abusive family) and could be really promising as the main character tackles the "after-effects" of that situation. The book doesn't have a cover so I just made one! LOL

P.S. Go like S. Mulholland's Facebook page, she almost has 50 likes!!!

I'm Alive

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm currently in DC (Washington) for a vacation. I'll be sure to post some pics at the end of the week, but I won't be able to post anything normal this week. Forgive me!

P.S. Happy Easter!!
