ARC Paperback Copy
DESCRIPTION:
From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine’s Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river’s treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily…and neither does their love. So when Mary’s life takes the cruelest turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey.
Set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England, Eternal on the Water is at once heartbreaking and uplifting — a timeless, beautifully rendered story of true love’s power.

SYNOPSIS:
Sometimes I still wake up shivering in the early hours of the morning, drowning in dreams of being out there in the ocean that summer, of looking up at the moon and feeling as invisible and free as a fish. But I’m jumping ahead, and to tell the story right I have to go back to the very beginning. To a place called Indigo Beach. To a boy with pale skin that glowed against the dark waves. To the start of something neither of us could have predicted, and which would mark us forever, making everything that came after and before seem like it belonged to another life.
My name is Mia Gordon: I was sixteen years old, and I remember everything.
MY THOUGHTS:
I know you have probably heard this from other reviews, but don’t let the carefree cover fool you. This is a great emotional and deep read. It’s not all about fun and laughter in the summer time on the beach. The romance can be sweet and cute at times, but it also can be sad and heartbreaking as well. It explores love, family secrets and growing up over a summer that will keep you thinking from page one up until the end.
While I was not a huge fan of this book, it was still a good read. The author tended to fill the pages with words at time that didn’t really have to be there. At times I even wanted to skip parts just to get it going again. Yet, even with that problem, I still enjoyed finishing the book and getting the entire feel of the book.
A great beach read for romance lovers who don’t want sex and steam, cute but not over done, and has a touch of real life teen drama. Great for adults and young adults
MY RATING:
Okay book, but it left me wanting more! 3 STARS

Hello fellow bloggers! It is that time of year again for BBAW 2010! I am usually a shy person when it comes to submitting my blog for these types of things. Well, this year I sucked up my shyness and decided to submit my blog for the following catagory:
Best Eclectic Book Blog—This blog doesn’t specialize in any one book genre. It is known for consistently excellent reviews, recommendations, analyses, and other content in a variety of genres
Here at My Overstuffed Bookshelf, I review books from many types of genres. It all depends on my mood when deciding on a book. That is why you will find book reviews and discussions on a wide range of books. I also want to point out that my book reviews are not only honest, but they are my feelings a book brings out and not a general run down of the plot. I always want to know if a book captures a reader, makes them go through the all the emotions the author intended and the overall experience of reading a book.
Below are the 5 posts I am submitting for the award nominations:
Reviews:
River of Tears by Michele L. Montgomery
Raised By Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Insatiable by Meg Cabot
Discussion Posts:
Selling of ARCs
Unknown Authors vs. Big Time Authors
Thanks!
