-I love how Libba can go from epic paranormal romance/historical fiction to contemporary fiction. Such a talented author!
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. (courtesy of Goodreads)
Who doesn't love a good competition? Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteLibba Bray's books are just love! This sounds like a whacked out book, really fun too! And the cover is so flashy, I love it! Great pick!

Sounds interesting I'm about to read my first Libba Bray book "Going Bovine"- I just love her name it sounds like a really cool writer's name. So her new book sounds interesting I'll definitely give it a read.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this book! It's going to be hilarious. And strange. I loved the Gemma Doyle trilogy. Libba Bray is a fantastic writer! Awesome pick this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this book! Lord of the Flies with beauty queens is the best idea for a book ever.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beauty Queens sounds really good! Very interesting with the commercial breaks. I wonder how they will be like when you read it. Probably not as fun as they are with the audio.
