My pick this week:
=”1″>
Beauty Queens
Libba Bray
Released May, 20011
Goodreads / Purchase
The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner.
What’s a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program – or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan – or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?
Welcome to the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Your tour guide? None other than Libba Bray, the hilarious, sensational, Printz Award-winning author of A Great and Terrible Beauty and Going Bovine. The result is a novel that will make you laugh, make you think, and make you never see beauty the same way again.
This sounds like a lot of fun and the feedback has been good, too. I just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet. Have you read this one? Thoughts?

I saw one of my customers were reading this book a few weeks back. She said she liked it so far. But then I have heard the book was good too. Great pick! Thank you sharing it!

This one has been on my TBR for awhile, too. It sounds fun, but I just haven’t felt like reading it.

I haven’t heard of this one, but I think I have to read this because of the cover 😀
I actually have one book from Libba Bray sitting on my TBR-pile, I didn’t even remember that!
