William Ewart Gladstone
The Selection the first title in a Trilogy that blends the worlds of dystopia (a la Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games) and reality television (specifically, The Bachelor / The Bachelorette).
As always, the rules remain the same…Throughout the month, you can come back to this original posting, and Discuss the current book club selection in the Comments section, sharing your thoughts on a character you love (or love to hate), memorable quotes or scenes in the book, and the like. Everything is very informal; but I think that it will be a blast, and I hope that you will all join in! Remember you do not have to participate each month - only when you have the time or feel compelled to.
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.
The title has been revealed, now it’s time to read and discuss!
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to We ♥ It and Goodreads for the pictures.

Wow, this looks so intriguing. Is this Young Adult?
This look really interesting. I'm thinking of an alternative history book at the moment. I love the cover. Cool title too.
Awesome selecting THE SELECTION. It looks really worthy of a good read.
I'm really going to have to look in to this book. I do look forward to see what the "book club" selection is, for the month.

Ooh... I've been thinking of starting a book club on my blog- and yours gives me grand inspiration! I'll be joining! ;). This book is on order at my library and I just put the request in. :D Can't wait to get started!
These sounds like such an amazing book. Exactly my type of book. Although, just checked and this isn't released in the UK for another 2 months :(
Sounds like an intriguing read. Another excellent selection by you!
Thanks for sharing this! Always looking for more books to devour

Lovely photographs. The top one makes me want to drop everything and head out somewhere to read, alone.
That actually sounds amazing! The plot actually reminds me of a book I read in like 6th grade and loved!
The synopsis has me hooked!
Is it terribly shallow of me to want to read it because of that gorgeous blue gown? But your description makes it sound great too!

I just found out the WB is going to do Kiera Cass's book. Amiee Teegan will be America and Narnia's William Mosley will be Aspen & Ethan Peck as Prince Maxon! Its a TV movie at the moment.
This sounds good! If it's not out in the UK though I don't have high hopes for New Zealand. Will keep my eyes peeled!

I luv your new book club at the Cafe Fashionista! Just wish I was more of a book reader rather than book collector. :(
However, I did just finish a fabulous memoir by a celebrity Hollywood hairstylist. Surprising since I didn't think it wood appeal to me.
you are so adorable Erika. I love the importance you place on intellectual pursuits. Love.
