Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Breaking The Spine where I talk about books that I am eagerly anticipating!
This week, my WoW pick is…..
Up To The Pointe by Jennifer Longo
Published by Random House on January 19, 2015
Genres: Young Adult
Goodreads
She had a plan. It went south.
Harper is a dancer. She and her best friend, Kate, have one goal: becoming professional ballerinas. And Harper won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of The Plan, not even the boy she and Kate are both drawn to.
Harper is a Scott. She’s related to Robert Falcon Scott, the explorer who died racing to the South Pole. So when Harper’s life takes an unexpected turn, she finagles (read: lies) her way to the icy dark of McMurdo Station . . . in Antarctica. Extreme, but somehow fitting—apparently she has always been in the dark, dancing on ice this whole time. And no one warned her. Not her family, not her best friend, not even the boy who has somehow found a way into her heart.
I really loved this author’s debut, Six Feet Over It, which I felt didn’t get the recognition it deserved. The whole Antarctica plot is intriguing and I love the cover. Can’t wait for this one!
sounds very interesting. I haven’t see it before and I havent read her other one though I want to.
This sounds really interesting. I haven’t read anything by Jennifer Longo before but I’ll definitely check this out! Great pick. My WOW
I haven’t read anything by this author but Up To This Pointe sounds really interesting 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing, Kate!

Read a review for this one yesterday, and I want to read it now. Great pick!
Up To The Pointe sounds like something I would love! I find reading about ballerinas fascinating so I immediately preordered a copy which I’ve never actually done from a Waiting on Wednesday post before!
I read and reviewed this one on Monday and loved it so much! It had such an impact on me. I didn’t read her debut novel, but I’ll be picking it up for certain.
I hope you love this one when you get to it, Kate!
Honestly, the biggest reason I want to check out Up to this Pointe is because of the mention of ANTARTICA. How cool is that?
New to me, but sounds promising. Hope that you get a chance to read it and enjoy soon.
I love dancer books, I will have to check this one out!

Here’s My WOW (:
I’ve not heard of this one! WOAH – you don’t find too many books set in Antarctica! That’s really cool. I hope you enjoy this book when you get to read it, Kate!
