Awhile on the Pile/From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday but was also inspired by Rachel at My Reading Pile/Fiktshun. The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review -- or any book that you own and really want to read/review -- but haven't yet got around to reading in order to give the book some extra publicity.
Here's the book I chose to give some extra love this week:

Author: P.T. Michelle
Series: Brightest Kind of Darkness #1
Publisher: Patrice Michelle
Publication Date: June 27, 2011
Source: copy received from author for review
Nara Collins is an average sixteen-year-old, with one exception: every night she dreams the events of the following day. Due to an incident in her past, Nara avoids using her special gift to change fate…until she dreams a future she can’t ignore.
After Nara prevents a bombing at Blue Ridge High, her ability to see the future starts to fade, while people at school are suddenly being injured at an unusually high rate.
Grappling with her diminishing powers and the need to prevent another disaster, Nara meets Ethan Harris, a mysterious loner who seems to understand her better than anyone. Ethan and Nara forge an irresistible connection, but as their relationship heats up, so do her questions about his dark past.

The author contacted me for a review back when I'd first started blogging and didn't realize there was a time limit on these things. The book's premise sounded interesting and I planned on getting to it eventually, but here it is, a year later, and I still haven't read this book. And yet I've read some amazing reviews for it and my curiosity is always piqued whenever someone mentions the book. I really need to make the effort and read it because it'll probably end up being one of those books where I ask myself, "Why did I wait so long to read this?!?"
I've heard of this book before, it sounds awesome and I tihnk I have it on my pile of books I want to read. I hope you do get to it son and that you love it!
