Waiting On Wednesday #46: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  Breaking the Spine. 

This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and, quite possibly, to make our shelves look all pretty too :)

What I'm waiting on... 

Fangirl

by Rainbow Rowell

Expected release date: September 2013

Published by: St. Martin's Press

Genre: YA/NA - Contemporary

SUMMARY

A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love. 

Cath is a Simon Snow fan.
Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan . . .
But for Cath, being a fan is her life — and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.
Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.

Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . 
And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?
Or will she just go on living inside somebody else’s fiction?

Why I'm waiting on 'Fangirl'...

Look at that cover!!!

The main character writes fan fiction! gasp!
{I wonder what she's writing! lol}

Not much to go by, but it is definitely enough for me :)
Can't wait to get the final release date!!!

I read Eleanor & Park and absolutely loved everything about it!
{My review of Eleanor & Park will be posted in another week or so!}
I am really craving to read more of Rainbow Rowell's writing!!!

So, tell me, what are you waiting for this week???
