    On my list this week - (Goodreads synopsis - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8603765-imaginary-girls)


Imaginary Girls

Chloe's older sister, Ruby, is the girl everyone looks to and longs for, who can't be captured or caged. When a night with Ruby's friends goes horribly wrong and Chloe discovers the dead body of her classmate London Hayes left floating in the reservoir, Chloe is sent away from town and away from Ruby.

But Ruby will do anything to get her sister back, and when Chloe returns to town two years later, deadly surprises await. As Chloe flirts with the truth that Ruby has hidden deeply away, the fragile line between life and death is redrawn by the complex bonds of sisterhood.


Isn't the cover to-die-for? I've always had a thing for pretty covers and I may even have bought a book solely because I fell in love with the cover.But it isn't just the cover of Imaginary Girls that holds its appeal for me. The synopsis seems disturbingly provocative (in a good way) and I WANT TO READ IT! So bad!

On my wishlist this week is -

Lola and the Boy Next Door by



(Goodreads synopsis)

 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
.


I've been looking forward to this book ever since I'd read Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins which by the way is absolutely crush-worthy! I just hope Lola and the Boy Next Door finds it's way to my bookshelf soon!

I'm blogging!! Yaaaay!

Leaf Turner Tales, has officially been launched with this post and I have my friend (somewhat of an inspiration) Bidisha to thank (Go check out her blog http://talkmusebanter.blogspot.in/ .It is absolutely adorbs). Well, for starters I wouldn't be blogging had it not been for her and OUR undying, never ebbing love for books and all things literary. I absolutely heart books! I wonder now why I never got blogging sooner. Well, there is the procrastination that I follow through almost religiously for anything that I do. But, I also have to admit that the lovely book-blogs I follow are kind of intimidating to someone who is only a beginner. My introductory post pales in comparison.

So, about my blog. I'm here to talk about books that I love. But you might occasionally find me jabbering about movies and music too. Basically, I'll be talking about everything that has a story to tell. Crushing ( not the crumple-rumple kind) on story after story.
