Waiting
on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking
the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly
anticipating.
This
week’s Wow feature is:
The Registry by Shannon Stoker
Expected
Publication: June 11, 2013
Publisher:
William Morrow
Summary
via Goodreads...
The
Registry saved the country from collapse. But stability has come at a price. In
this patriotic new America, girls are raised to be brides, sold at auction to
the highest bidder. Boys are raised to be soldiers, trained by the state to
fight to their death.
Nearly
eighteen, beautiful Mia Morrissey excitedly awaits the beginning of her auction
year. But a warning from her married older sister raises dangerous thoughts.
Now, instead of going up on the block, Mia is going to escape to Mexico—and the
promise of freedom.
All
Mia wants is to control her own destiny—a brave and daring choice that will
transform her into an enemy of the state, pursued by powerful government
agents, ruthless bounty hunters, and a cunning man determined to own her . . .
a man who will stop at nothing to get her back.
WHY
I CAN'T WAIT...
….This
just sounds really good…plain and simple. All this action you can’t help but be
taken in.
So
what are you all waiting on? Please share.
I was a bit worried this would be another book like The Selection until that second paragraph! Haha. But wow this does sound incredibly awesome! Added to my to be read pile :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and the follow.
I love how reverse this is. Usually it's the nerds getting a make over and becoming pretty and popular. I love how it's otherwise! Great pick!

DeleteI love the sound of this book - sounds a little like the Hunger Games as far as a "selection" or "registration" goes but yet different enough to be interesting because clearly things are different in other countries.
