“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week I am so excited about this one:
100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith
September 2, 2014
From Goodreads:
“Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince himself that he’s a real boy and not just a character in his father’s bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved.
Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.”
I have read most of Andrew Smith’s books and they are all so different from each other. Winger is still my favorite, but this new, with a road trip one sounds like it has the potential to make me have to call Winger *one of* my favorite Andrew Smith books. Man, I LOVE road trip books!
Happy Reading!

That sounds really interesting and I love the cover! I’ve never read any Andrew Smith yet, but everything he writes gets really good reviews.
Oh Lord, I was looking at the cover and all i could think about was that gif that says “there goes my pants” because that totally looks like a “there goes my horse!” xD
But yeah, really interesting synopsis, I had never heard about this book. *wishlists it*
