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 email. 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.

Ha! This cover is great! Definitely an attention grabber. And then the synopsis is the icing on the "I really want this book" cake. I love Libba Bray. She is an awesome writer. The Gemma Doyle trilogy are some of my favorite books, so I have high expectations for this one. And I've been reading a lot of depressing books lately so I'm starting to look for some different stuff and "Beauty Queens" looks like it will be a super fun read.
What book are you waiting on this week?
I haven't heard of this one but is sounds so good! I'm gonna have to check it out when it's published for sure.
