Waiting on Wednesday - 1/26

Okay "Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week my Waiting on Wednesday book is Beauty Queens by Libba Bray.  I loved her Gemma Doyle trilogy and also enjoyed Going Bovine.  So I am really looking forward to Beauty Queens.  Love the cover :-)  It looks really funny!



Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
Length: 400 pages
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Release Date: May 24th, 2011
ISBN: 978-0439895972

Synopsis from Amazon.com:
From bestselling, Printz Award-winning author Libba Bray, 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 emall. 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.

    Heh, I will probably be unable to resist this! I didn't love Going Bovine, but the concept of Lord of the Flies with beauty queens is too hilarious to pass up.
