There are no words to express how excited I am with Ms. Perkins' latest book. I am lucky to have read an excerpt and it only fueled my obsession with having my grubby hands on this sure to be wonderful conclusion to the series we have loved since Anna and Étienne. Thank the lucky stars that the waiting is soon to be over.
In related news, I will get a chance to meet Stephanie Perkins this coming Sunday. EEEEEEEP!
So what books are you waiting on?
OOohhh yes very excited! I mostly want to see Lola and Cricket again if only a small part. It feels like this has been taking forever to come out! It's finally almost here!

Thanks, Rachel. Stephanie Perkins is a goddess among men.

I've not read anything by Perkins, but I've heard amazing things about her books. Great pick and thanks for stopping by My WoW!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I read Anna and the French Kiss two years ago and I absolutely loved it, though I still haven't read Lola and the Boy Next Door! Maybe I'll read it before this one comes out.
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Ooh YES!! CANNOT wait to read this one myself. It's been a long time coming and I'm sure it will be worth the wait! You're so lucky you get to meet her!!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE Perkins work so I really can't wait for this one to release. I read the sample first five chapters and I need MOAR. Fantastic pick this week! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Here is my Waiting on Wednesday
ReplyDeleteI'm about to start the first book in a couple of days. I can't wait to get to this one! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOur WoW!
I'm really excited about this one too! I loved Anna and Lola :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I LOVED Anna and the French Kiss, but I didn't really love Lola. I'm hoping that Isla redeems Ms. Perkins for me! Great pick this week :)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to the book signing event this weekend?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of this series but I have read Lola and the Boy Next Door. It was fun and lovely. I really like Lola and her perkiness. I didn't finish reading Anna and the French Kiss.
That's why I avoid reading excerpt and chapter teasers. It just makes me feel impatient. LOL.
I'm dying to read this one, even though I just started Anna! Great pick!
ReplyDelete-Scott Reads It!
It's finally getting close to coming out!! I feel like we've been waiting agesss for this! Yay! Great pick!
