Waiting on Wednesday 9/26


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. I also feature books that may have already released, but I am anxiously waiting to read.

This week, I'm featuring:

Anthem for Jackson Dawes by Celia Bryce

When Megan arrives on the cancer ward for her fi rst treatment, she’s frustrated to be on the pediatric unit. There’s only one other teen there: Jackson Dawes. He’s cute, rebellious . . . and obnoxiously charming. Megan can’t stand the way he meets his illness with such positive energy. But when her own friends are scared off by her illness, Megan fi nds she doesn’t really mind Jackson’s playful antics. As they begin the tentative stirrings of fi rst love, they also start the most aggressive round of treatments on their tumors. Can the power of first love overcome the heartbreak of cancer?
Fans of Lurlene McDaniel will flock to this emotional debut.
This title will be released on April 30, 2013.

What are you waiting on?

    Uh-oh, this looks like it might be a tearjerker-I'm already afraid that one of them is going to die...but I love contemps so much and I've read some other cancer books that were so emotionally impactful that I'll probably want to check this out too.
