It's Monday, What Are You Reading? [004]

Yay, it's Monday! What are you reading is hosted by One Persons Journey through a world of Books. Each week we spotlight the books we are reading, planning on reading or just finished reading.

Recently Finished:
• Die For Me by Amy Plum (finished: 01/29)
- Loved it! (review to come this week) Cannot wait for the next one! The covers in this series are gorgeous! I loved the idea of making zombies less...zombie like! :)
• Arcadia Awakens by Kai Meyer (finished: 01/25)
- Even though there were about 500 pages of not much going on, I still really liked it and will be reading the next book to see what happens with Alessandro and Rosa.

Currently Reading:
• The Statistical probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith (started: 01/29)
-This book sounded so cute! I featured it in a WoW post and had to buy it as soon as it came out. I'm only about 57 pages in, but I'm sure I'll love it and will probably be done with it tonight or tomorrow! :) Love that it's set over a 24hr period. It's the first book I'm reading for my personal "Contemporary February" challenge!

Up Next:
• Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
- I loved Eli & Naomi's No Kiss List by these two. Excited for this one.
• Saving June by Hannah Harrington
- This doesn't seem like it'll be a light, fun read, but it's got great reviews and I've been wanting to read a more in depth YA contemporary.
• Lola & The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
- I was one of the very few people who just did not care for Stephanie's first book Anna & The French Kiss, but I liked her writing style, so I hope that this one is better for me!

So, I've gotten a slightly early jump on my Contemporary February Challenge yay! What'd you post this Monday?

Summer Reading Break (#10)

This is the 10th activity challenge...but sadly, my first one. I know that I will be joining in from now until the end of summer!
This is a fun one.
I had to use a random verb (Clasp), name (Alice Palmisano) and picture (below) to create a bookcover. And based on that book cover I had to come up with a synopsis.
Read it & tell me if this cover and synopsis makes you want to read it!! :)

You can go here for all the details on what you're supposed to do.

THIS IS NOT A REAL BOOK!

Rachel has been haunted by one word her whole life; love. It surrounded her and everyone she knew seems to have fallen in it. She didn't quite understand--until someone said it to her, between two other words she'd never used together, "I" and "you".
Joe had finally told Rachel exactly how he felt...and now she is moving. It couldn't have been worse timing. With her father's new job and the crappy thing about not being an adult, there's not much Rachel can do. 
Until Joe proposes.
Rachel knows that living with her boyfriend in his college dorm isn't the ideal way for someone who is newly engaged, so she moves with her father, hoping that her and Joe's love is strong enough to hold through the short visits and 200 mile span.
But at a new school and new people, Rachel meets Eric Lynford, the geek with more problems than an army of misfits. It's not until Eric's near death experience that Rachel really understands the meaning of the word "love".
Before her clasp on Joe begins to loosen, Rachel must find out that giving love is much more powerful than getting.
In "Clasp" it's another curse of  helping someone in need, but this time, the curse may be too strong for one girl.
