Title: THE SELECTION
Author: Kiera Cass
Release Date: April 24, 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
Add it: Goodreads

WHY?

I've been wanting to read this one for a long time based on the summary. After seeing the cover last week (Um, I glomped love all over it on Monday, as you might recall), I want this even more! Kingdoms! Princes! Dystopian! Yes!! I want, I want, I WANT!!

...Is it April yet?


SUMMARY:
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.



What are you anxiously waiting for this Wednesday?

    I've seen the cover around the blogosphere lately and I've fallen in love with it, but I haven't actually read the synopsis until now. And OMG, does this book sound super awesome or what? It got me at kingdom + princes + dystopian! Should be an interesting combo! Can't wait to read it!

    Awesome pick!

    I can't decide which is more alluring -- the cover or the book description? Either way, I am hooked!

    I really like the premise of this one, and the reflections happening in the cover are cool. But the dress is so not my style, LOL...too poofy! :D

    I LOVE the cover for this. Maybe one of my favourite 2012 reveals so far, it's stunning. And the dress is so pretty! <3 I love me some dystopian and The Selection definitely sounds like it will satisfy!

    I AM SO AMAZINGLY IN LOVE WITH THIS COVER. The dress reminds me of Cinderella's dress in that ghd commercial a few years back, which I swooned over like mad.

    Plus, yeah, the summary sounds fantastic. Can't wait for it!
