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

Girls Like Us

Title: Girls Like Us
Author: Gail Giles
Hardcover, 224 pages
Expected publication: May 27th 2014 
Publisher: Candlewick Press

From Goodreads:

We understand stuff. We just learn it slow. And most of what we understand is that people what ain’t Speddies think we too stupid to get out our own way. And that makes me mad. 

Quincy and Biddy are both graduates of their high school’s special ed program, but they couldn’t be more different: suspicious Quincy faces the world with her fists up, while gentle Biddy is frightened to step outside her front door. When they’re thrown together as roommates in their first "real world" apartment, it initially seems to be an uneasy fit. But as Biddy’s past resurfaces and Quincy faces a harrowing experience that no one should have to go through alone, the two of them realize that they might have more in common than they thought — and more important, that they might be able to help each other move forward.

Hard-hitting and compassionate, Girls Like Us is a story about growing up in a world that can be cruel, and finding the strength — and the support — to carry on.
WHY WE'RE WAITING:
 We all know that growing up and entering the adult word is not an easy stage in our life, so after reading the synopsis of this book, we were all very curious about the story of both Quincy and Biddy. We have never read a book of Gail Giles too, so this book might be the book that will make us fall for her other works.

Creepy Cartoon Theories

audrey

Everyone watches cartoons, or at least once in their life. Admit it. We think it's funny and entertaining. Some people watch it because they simply want to watch something childish and innocent and to take a break from all those sad and heart breaking movies slash shows. Some of our favorite cartoons are Spongebob, Adventure Time and other random cartoons. What if all those cartoons are based on creepy true stories? 


1. The Rugrats Theory 

The Rugrats is actually just a figment of Angelica's imagination. Chuckie died along with his mother which is why Chaz is a nervous wreck. Tommy was still born which is why Stew is always in the basement making toys for the son who never had the chance to live, and the DeVilles had an abortion. Angelica didn't know if the baby would be a girl or a boy causing her to make up twins. One girl and one boy.

There's only one Rugrat that isn't a figment of Angelica's imagination- Tommy's brother, Dil. The only problem is that Angelica doesn't know the difference between the made up ones and Dil.

We find it difficult to elaborate on this topic so we'll be posting a link of hone theory instead.

2. Courage The Cowardly Dog

We believe that Courage's owners are actually dead and in hell. The place is way too creepy to not be hell! Eustace and the other villains all look like they're dead and already rotten. Others look like their appearances have been altered by the setting which we still believe is hell. Anyway, if you want more on this topic, you can look at the link below.

Oh, and we suggest that you don't watch this cartoon unless you are really, really brave or have seen worse things. We watched this before and it left is with nightmares. Although, if you like this show, we don't mind. We all have different tastes. We are just really creeped out by this.




3. Powerpuff Girls 

There is a theory about The Powerpuff Girls in which it says that the girls are actually just one girl with multiple personalities. Apparently the girl has been bullied by her older brother because her older brother is jealous of the dad's affection for the girl. The older brother is showed as Mojo Jojo. The other villains seem like kid's tots since the girl envisions herself as a child because she was bullied at a young age. If you want to learn more about this topic, there's a link below.




4. Wall-E

So there's this theory about how Wall-E killed everyone and everything on Earth. This explains why there are robots like Wall-E who are scattered all over the place and yet Wall-E survived. We don't really want to believe this theory since Wall-E doesn't seem like a killer. It does explain a few things. If you want more in this topic there's a link below.
