This week I’m waiting on …
Release Date: April 24, 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
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.

Kiersten White, author of Paranolmacy, blurb “Reality T.V. meets dystopian fairy tale. Charming, captivating, and filled with just the right amount of swoon!”
After reading that, I was sold. It sounds like a fun read. I’m looking forward to it!

I do love a good dystopian and the blurb had that feel about it but as Kiersten says fairytale meets dystopian. Love the cover. Must plop it on my monsterous TBR pile.
Ha! I will be 150 before I get what I have on it read....sigh.
