Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) The Selection by Kiera Cass

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.


Join us as we read along.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I've got this on hold from the library, I am pretty far down the list though. I am hoping I get it before the end of the month.


Jennifer H Just finished and I have to say I love this book :)


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) The library came through aster than I thought. I got a copy... now to fit it in.


message 5: by Dawn (Kat N Hat) (last edited Jun 09, 2013 10:13PM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I started this today. So far it has a big The Hunger Games vibe.


I am only to chapter 4.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I finished and I loved it too.

I have a rule when rating books, unfinished story = -1star. Nothing pisses me off more than an author who stops writing mid story just to leave you with a cliffhanger so you want to read the next book. Going in to this book knowing there were a 2nd and 3rd book you kind of know where the plot is going. You know it isn't going to be all wrapped up in a happy bow at the end of book one. I don't know if it was because I anticipated the ending or just the story was that great, but I couldn't not give it 5 stars.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I also have to say I love the name Maxon. It might be that I am partial to my own son, Maxton.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I already requested the next one from the library.

I am sad that the last one won't come out until next year.


Jennifer H My copy of The Elite came in today from the library....YAY! Now, I just need to fit it into a team challenge.


Jennifer H I like the name Maxon also.

I think someone (maybe you) said it had pasta in it.


Jennifer H Sorry this response is so delayed. Goodreads isn't giving all my notifications, again.

Actually, I think it was Pat who said that it had pasta in it. I asked her about it because I wanted to read it that week but she had made an error.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I got The Elite downloaded from the library today. Now if only I can fit it in to my vacation reading schedule.


Jennifer H You will have to let me know how you like it :)
