"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Waiting on Wednesday (69)



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:


by D.C. Pierson
Publication Date: March 7, 2013
-------------------------------------------------

THE CHOSEN ONE MUST BE RETRIEVED FROM EARTH

 HE WILL BRING DOWN THE WALL AND RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO GLORY

 HIS NAME IS TOM PARKING

 With this mysterious yet oddly ordinary-looking prophecy, Tom's fate is sealed: he's been plucked from his life and whisked away to a magical kingdom to be its Chosen One.

 There's just one problem: The kingdom is mostly made of garbage from Earth. Okay, well, two problems: the king hates Tom. Also, the princess likes to wear fake mustaches. And being Chosen One seems to consist mainly of cleaning out rats' noses at the Royal Rat-Snottery.

 So, basically, the kingdom sucks.

 When Tom turns down the job of Chosen One, he thinks he's making a smart decision. But when Tom discovers he's been replaced by his best friend Kyle, who's always been cooler, more athletic, and better with girls, Tom wants Crap Kingdom back—at any cost. And the hilarity that ensues will determine the fate of the universe.
------------------------------------------------
I think this will be just a really funny fantasy.  I like the idea that this kingdom is made from the trash of Earth.  I also like that the only reason Tom wants to be the "Chosen One" again is because they pick his friend Kyle to replace him.  Just sounds really good, and lighthearted!  Can't wait to get my hands on it!

What book are you waiting for?

    Hahaha! This sounds hilarious!!! I would not assume that this book would be about that based off of the cover! Great pick! I don't know if I'd ever read the summary if you didn't share. :)
