"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where book bloggers discuss the books that they are most anxiously waiting for! (And this fabulous button was designed by my dear blogger friend Lindsay at The Violet Hour)
This week I'm waiting on...
Goodreads Description:
Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When Cricket -- a gifted inventor -- steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.
Stephanie Perkins left me dying for more after I finished Anna and the French Kiss way back in February. Her writing is simply fabulous and finishing Anna was just an incredibly satisfying moment. I've heard so many good things about Lola that I simply can't wait to get my hands on a copy! I am first in line for it at the library when it comes it, but there's a chance that I'll just go ahead and buy my own copy!
Also, I figured I would combine this post with W.W.W. Wednesdays...so here is some more info about my reading for this week! To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…Grab the logo...and post your link at Should Be Reading!

I've not read Lola and the French Kiss. I need to do that soon. I've heard good things about it. As for what you may be reading, OMG do read Witchlanders, its available on Simon and Schuster's Galley Grab til Aug. 30th. I'm 100 pages from the end and it is soooooo gooooood!!!
I also just finished up The Unwanteds, curious to hear your thoughts. I liked it a lot. What a unique and creative story line.
ohh..witchlanders looks awesome!!

This one sounds so very cute! :D I love books like this, so it's definitely going to the TBR list. Thank you for sharing and for visiting!
I am so excited for Lola! I loved Anna. Great pick. :D
ASHES is awesome. It scared the daylight out of me, though.
Great pick! I CANNOT WAIT for Lola to come out as well. [: So excited and wish it would come out today.
Erin @ Let's Evaluate
So many people are excited for this book! I haven't read Anna yet, but hopefully I will soon since I have heard great things about it! Nice choice and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Rumana @ Relook the Book
Oh my gosh! Please tell me you are loving Vanish and Shade!?!?!? Those are like two of my favoritest books EVER!!!
Lola looks great! I have heard some great things about it! I still have not read Anna and the French Kiss but I plan to soon! I hope that you love Lola!
I have Ashes and heard it really good, so read it next! ;)
I can't wait for Lola to come out because Anna and the French Kiss was fantastic. Once in a Full Moon sounds amazing. I hope you are enjoying it. Here's my WoW:

Happy reading!
Looks like you have a great line up there. Have fun reading!
I'm definitely waiting on Lola too! I'm soooooo excited for it, and I've heard really good things about it so far. Can't wait! Thanks for stopping by!
Dying to hear what you think of Vanish. It is one of my picks. I have seen Lola around quite a bit. Interesting. New follower to your place. Looks good. :)

Thanks for checking out my WoW! I'm waiting on Lola too - Anna was amazing :)
Lola and the boy next door sounds so good! And I just love the cover.
Thanks for the visit!!
Happy Reading :D
Hi, Jessi! Thanks for commenting on my WOW, and becoming a follower!!
I've heard a lot of good things about Perkins, too, so I think this book, as well as "Anna and the French Kiss" (what a GREAT title!), will both go in my TBR pile!!
Thanks for the recommendations!! : )
I'm waiting for Lola too since I loved Anna and the French Kiss. I've heard that Cricket is even more swoon-worthy than Etienne!
I whole-heartedly agree with Lola! I loved Anna & Etienne...sigh.
Isn't it September 29th yet??
I'm finally returning your WoW visit. Sorry it took so long. I was pretty sick for 2 days and all I did was tweet and read.
I just finished Anna and the French Kiss yesterday and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to read Lola. Awesome choice!
I just bought Shade myself after hearing lots of things about Zach during the battle of YA characters. The Unwanteds is one I'm very much looking forward to reading, it seems like such fun!
Is it shameful to say that I haven't read Anna yet?
