Waiting on Wednesday #4
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine, where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating!
This week I'm waiting on:
Landry Park by Bethany Hagen
Releases on: February 4th, 2014 Add it on Goodreads!
FROM GOODREADS: Downton Abbey meets The Selection in this dystopian tale of love and betrayal.
In a fragmented future United States ruled by the lavish gentry, seventeen-year-old Madeline Landry dreams of going to the university. Unfortunately, gentry decorum and her domineering father won't allow that. Madeline must marry, like a good Landry woman, and run the family estate. But her world is turned upside down when she discovers the devastating consequences her lifestyle is having on those less fortunate. As Madeline begins to question everything she has ever learned, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the handsome, beguiling David Dana. Soon, rumors of war and rebellion start to spread, and Madeline finds herself and David at the center of it all. Ultimately, she must make a choice between duty - her family and the estate she loves dearly - and desire.
Why I'm waiting:
I realize I have a problem with pretty covers. That's the first thing I'm drawn to, but even if it had a horrible looking cover, I would still be drawn to this one. I'm hesitant to be excited about a book when it is compared to a previously successful book like The Selection (which I LOVED), because I hate when publishers do that. I feel like they just say that to play off the success of said comparison book. HOWEVER, this one sounds really good! I've been craving a new dystopian world to dive into, especially with some of my very favorite dystopian series ending this year! For some reason, I don't think I'll ever get enough dystopian! Also, I think it's really cool that the people that rule are called the gentry, because that's one of my dog's names! I asked for this one for my birthday on February 10th, so fingers crossed that my parents buy it for me! :)
What do you think of my choice?
What's your choice for this week's WoW?

I hope it meets both of ours! I haven't heard much about it yet! You're welcome, Tressa! Thanks for stopping by mine! :)
DeleteI'm a little worried since for me dystopians are hit and miss but you're right I love that pretty cover! Hopefully the inside lives up to it =D
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of them tend to be for me as well lately. But I've heard this one isn't as much dystopian. I hope it does! :)
DeleteThis is the 2nd time I've seen this one today. Yay that it comes out soon! Thanks for stopping by my Wow.
ReplyDeleteJennifer

DeleteThis is on my TBR too! I love the feel of it - kind of historical dystopian. I hope it's as good as I think it is! Thanks for stopping by my WOW!
ReplyDeleteI know! Historical dystopian sounds so awesome!! I hope so too, and you're welcome, Amber! Thanks for stopping by mine! :)
DeleteI participated in this blog tour, but unfortunately I didn't get to review the book. I've heard wonderful things though and I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
I am starting to hear great things, so I'm really excited to get it!! That sucks that you didn't get to review it, though! Hopefully, we will both love it! :) You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by mine, Elizabeth!

My WoW
Thanks for stopping by Karina!
DeleteI've heard this one called "a dystopian take on Downton Abbey" so I think that's enough to make me want to read it! It's also on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Becca!
I have too! I haven't watched Downton Abbey but everyone seems to love it. I'm hoping this book lives up to the hype! Thanks girl!!
DeleteNice choice! Sounds like this book will be fantastic! My WOW post is here
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it, though?! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteOh yes, I can't wait to read this! I've had this on my tbr for a long time. I hope we both enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by My WoW.
ReplyDeleteIt's been on mine for quite some time! I hope we do too!! You're welcome Sandra! Thanks for stopping by mine! :)
DeleteThis is something I'd probably like, since I liked The Selection, even though it's pretty fluffy. Adding it to my list!
ReplyDeleteYeah, The Selection was pretty fluffy, but I still enjoyed it! The mention of The Selection is what caught my attention to begin with! Great, Jennifer! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI really wanna read this one too! It looks so good. I thought the cover was good but when I read the blurb -- that's when I just had to add it to my TBR! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my wow!
Yeah the blurb is what hooked me for sure! I have a problem with cool looking book covers though! LOL. No problem, girl! Thanks for stopping by mine :)
DeleteWhat an interesting concept. I haven't heard of this one yet. Thanks for stopping by today.
