My hiatus has been WAY longer than I originally anticipated. I blame it on work. And working out. And filming. And reading. Ok, fine...mostly it was because I just needed a break, and I was getting incredibly lazy. Anyhoo, I'm back!

The blog will be undergoing some changes in the next few days - new colours, new header...new everything! I'm pretty excited to see the changes in my little iswimforoceans. I'm getting right back into the swing of things though, so without further ado....

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming novels we just can't wait for! We all know there are a ton of great books coming out this year, but this week, I'm particularly excited for...

Title: Accomplice
Author: Eireann Corrigan
Release Date: August 1, 2010



They've gotten good grades - but that's not good enough. They've spent hours on community service - but that's not good enough. Finn and Chloe's advisor says that colleges have enough kids with good grades and perfect attendance, so Chloe decides they'll have to attract attention another way. She and Finn will stage Chloe's disappearance, and then, when CNN is on their doorstep and the nation is riveted, Finn will find and save her. It seems like the perfect plan - until things start to go wrong. Very wrong.

I'm sure you all saw this coming, but for the next couple of weeks, I'll be in and out of the state for my sister's wedding, filming and generally just working my tail off haha I figured rather doing sporadic posts, I'd take a little time to regroup before starting up again...

Never fear though...I will be back! Love and hugs :)

Wow...so, I apparently suck at blogging lately. I'm sorry! Life is so busy and so hectic lately that I just can barely seem to find the time to post something adequate. I'm really going to try to do better though...promise! Anyhoo, onto more important things.

Title: The Deathday Letter
Author: Shaun Hutchinson
Release Date: June 15, 2010



All fifteen year-old Oliver Travers wanted to do when he woke up Thursday morning was squeeze in a little underwear gymnastics before school, until his mom called him downstairs to tell him he had received a Deathday Letter, which sort of ruined the mood.

Content to spend his last day of life at school (where the girls are), Oliver's best friends Shane Grimsley and Veronica (Ronnie) Dittrich convince him to burn his books and ditch school to, you know, have a little actual fun before he kicks the bucket.

In a world where only taxes, Deathday Letters, and teenage boy's hormones are certainties, Oliver, Shane and Ronnie embark upon a bus ride that takes them from the post office, to a house filled with college-aged anti-Deathday Letter activists (and Dave Matthews fans), and nearly to prison. And as the end draws near Oliver learns that living is way tougher than dying…and that kissing is wetter than he'd expected.
