Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.
Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:
From bestselling, Printz Award-winning author Libba Bray, come the story of a plane of beauty pageant contestants that crashes on a desert island.
Teen beauty queens. A "Lost"-like island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to email. And the spirit of fierce, feral competition that lives underground in girls, a savage brutality that can only be revealed by a journey into the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Oh, the horror, the horror! Only funnier. With evening gowns. And a body count.
I think this book sounds awesome! Libba Bray is a hilarious writer. If you've read Going Bovine, you know that. Beauty Queens looks like it's going to have the mix of supernatural and reality just as Going Bovine. I also zeroed in on the "Lost"-like island immediately. I love "Lost", so extra points for that. All in all this sounds like a funny and dangerous adventure filled with the most unlikely participants: beauty queens!
This sounds like a good read. I like the cover!

This is one of the ones I was considering requesting as a NetGalley, but I have a lot to read already, so I didn't. It does look really good though and I hope to get around to reading it some day! I am also your newest follower. Please head on over to my blog to follow me back, thanks and have a great week!
