Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Hold Still by Nina LaCour is my pick for today's Waiting On Wednesday.
From Penguin Group USA website:
An arresting story about starting over after a friend’s suicide, froma breakthrough new voice in YA fiction
dear caitlin, there are so many things that i want so badly to tell you but i just can’t.
Devastating, hopeful, hopeless, playful . . . in words and illustrations, Ingrid left behind a painful farewell in her journal for Caitlin. Now Caitlin is left alone, by loss and by choice, struggling to find renewed hope in the wake of her best friend’s suicide. With the help of family and newfound friends, Caitlin will encounter first love, broaden her horizons, and start to realize that true friendship didn’t die with Ingrid. And the journal which once seemed only to chronicle Ingrid’s descent into depression, becomes the tool by which Caitlin once again reaches out to all those who loved Ingrid—and Caitlin herself
What are YOU waiting for today??

Nice WoW choice, It is a book I would read. Have you noticed a trend in YA fiction lately with dealing with the after effects of a friends suicide?
Icedream: I hadn't noticed it 'til you mentioned it...you're right...there has been quite a few YA novels about this subject!
This looks a real good book, sad subject.
Ooooo, this sounds like a good one! I was at Chapters yesterday and spent quite a bit of time in the YA section. There's so many I want to read!
Hi Missy! I would love to have Charlie "Fluff" joined the M-Cats Club! Can I use the picture of him on your sidebar or if you want you can send me one to mrtigger9 (at) g mail (dot) com!!
Hi 5 paw,
Mr. Tigger
Sounds like one my daughter would...I was going to say enjoy, but it's not really the sort of topic one enjoys reading about. What is the word that fits?
