Goodreads Summary:
Caleb desperately needs a new fake girlfriend. Either he attends a series of parties with a pretty girl on his arm to schmooze for his father’s law firm, or he gets shipped off to Yale to start a future he’s not ready for and isn’t sure he wants. And sadly the last unattached girl in his social circle has just made the grievous mistake of falling in love with him. Fortunately, Didi, the waitress at the Country Club — who just lost her job due to Caleb’s too-public breakup — is open to new experiences (and art supplies are expensive!). It’s the perfect setup for them both. Caleb has only one rule for the arrangement: Didi mustn’t fall in love with him.
 
I read an excerpt of this one and it's super good! Can't wait to read the whole thing :D
 
What are you guys waiting on this week?

Event Recap: Raincoast Books present TeensRead Winter+Spring Preview 2016

 
TeensRead Preview Winter + Spring 2016

Last Saturday I attended the TeensRead Winter + Spring Preview hosted by Raincoast Books in Vancouver. Thank you so much for the invite Raincoast! I had a great time meeting all you ladies and hearing you talk about upcoming YA releases.
 
I was pretty nervous since this was my very first bookish event. It was a very friendly atmosphere though and all the bloggers were very enthusiastic about the titles and just books in general. I was very quiet (I usually am) but I had a very fun time! I met Olivia who blogs at We Like To Book and she works at Chapters! I've always wanted to work at Chapters! A shoutout to Olivia - thank you for talking to me :D At the end of the event, we took a very nice group picture. It's on Raincoast's Instagram right here if you want to see. I wanted to save the picture but Instagram won't let me haha. Also, I realized after that the Raincoast ladies weren't in it! Please get in the picture next time!!
 
The Toronto bloggers were also present through Google Hangout. I saw quite a few familiar face from twitter like Ri from Hiver&Café! She saw me and DMed me. It was really funny. We both wanted to wave but felt it might be too awkward so we sort of ended up just staring at each other (yep not awkward at all). Check out her recap, #RiGoesOutside with all the Toronto bloggers!

Do you see anything you're excited for? Are there any books on this list you haven't heard about but has now made it onto your radar?
 
Each blogger also got an awesome swag bag full of goodies. I was super lucky to discover an ARC of Truthwitch in mine! I was really calm when I saw it but the moment I got home I freaked out lol. Then I pretty much devoured the book. I LOVED IT!!! Now I'm dying for book 2. The waiting is going to be pure torture but I'll definitely be re-reading Truthwitch again and again!
