Waiting On Wednesday ~ Still Sucks to be Me

Waiting On Wednesday
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I am looking forward to Still Sucks to be Me: More All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton Smith, Teen Vampire by Kimberly Pauley.

This book is not due out until May 10th, however I signed up for a book tour via Around The World Tours, so I am HOPING I might get to read it early. *Crossing Fingers*

I just recently finished the first book in the series - Sucks to be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe), and wow I just REALLY fell in love with Mina, she's such an amazing character, the full review will be posted Friday (my review of Hex Hall will be tomorrow) but, I have to say - I loved it! Such a fun read!

As such, I am even more excited to read Still Sucks to be Me - which like I said is due out in May.

*Spoilers in the content below - don't read if you have not read Sucks To Be Me yet*

Here's the info posted on Kimberly's blog about the book:
Why It Still Sucks to Be Me

  1. My parents and the stupid Vampire Council are still ruining my life unlife? death (ugh, whatever).
  2. Not only did they make me fake my death and funeral (I didn’t even get to go!), but I had to leave behind my BFF Serena and move. Really far away.
  3. Meanwhile my boyfriend George is off "reconnecting with his parents" in Brazil. Land of beaches, bikini babes, and the biggest party in the world. He's probably going "Mina, who?"
  4. Grady asked me to Homecoming and won't take no for an answer.
  5. Did I mention cute but oh-so-complicated Cameron, the only other bloodsucking teen in town? That's because I'm trying not to think about him, thank you very much.
  6. And ugh, Raven. Is she seriously stalking Serena?
  7. But the absolute worst thing is that here I am, some all-powerful (ha), all-knowing (yeah, right), in-control (totally not) vampire and my parents still get to dictate everything I do.


Myth: Vampires Never Die
Truth: Generally true. But they sure can fake it.


I, Mina Hamilton, am officially dead. Officially, officially. You name it, I've got it: death certificate (which I'm not allowed to keep in a scrapbook, per the Vampire Relocation Agency rules), obituary in the paper (depressingly short, if I do say so myself, and ditto on the scrapbooking), and a funeral. A funeral which, incidentally, my family's personal VRA goon, Josh, would not let me attend.

What's the point in having a funeral if you can't go and see who cared enough to show up? I had an excellent disguise picked out and everything, but the Josh-erator put me under total house arrest….

You can even read more on her blog - the first chapter!

*End Spoilers*

Anyway, I am so excited to get my hands on this one, I can't honestly remember the last time I laughed so hard, while reading, anyway!


So, what are you waiting on this week?

  6. Hi! Hope you like the second one too! :-)

    The girl is the same girl -- her name is Taylor -- but they did some digital alteration to her eyes and things this time around :-)

  7. And I'd love opinions...we were thinking about giving away a suitcase full of stuff...to kind of go with the cover. Do you think that would be a good giveaway?
