This is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlites upcoming new releases that we're highly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Elite, by Kiera Cass
Release Date: HarperTeen
Publisher: April 23, 2012
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the New York Timesbestseller The Selection.
Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?
LINK ME UP!!
I haven't read the first book, and I promised myself I wouldn't because of the author's (and her representative's) behavior, but I know my curiosity will probably win out. :( Like it did with Carrier of the Mark. Anyway, I'm glad YOU enjoyed it enought to get excited about the sequel, and I hope the second book is even better than the first for you. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis book is everyone! It's making me want to go down the the bookstore! I'm excited for it even with all the crazy drama that went one. :D I Love the covers. Great pick Emily!

I like the cover for this one! It's glamorous and multi-layered, just like the first book's cover!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely fell in love with the selection! I was so upset though when I found out that you never find out if Maxon picks her, though I'm pretty sure that he will!
