Waiting On Wednesday (133) - The Selection by Kiera Cass

Waiting on Wednesday is a topic brought to life by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. With Waiting On Wednesday you get to introduce to everyone upcoming books you're excited about!


The Selection by Kiera Cass coming April 24, 2012 from Harper Teen

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

I am SO excited for this book, like you have no idea. I read The Siren (my review) by her in 2009, and was in love with everything about it. When I heard about The Selection I was absolutely ecstatic, since this sounds SUPER brilliant.

What are you guys waiting on?

Ahh yes, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and being a dystopian just makes me want to read it even more! I'm extremely jealous of all the bloggers who already have an ARC of this!
