Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

The week’s WoW feature is:

The List by Siobhan Vivian
Publisher: Scholastic
Expected publication: April 1, 2012

An intense look at the rules of high school attraction—and the price that’s paid for them.

It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn’t matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.

This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, “pretty” and “ugly.” And it’s also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two. (Goodreads)

I heard about The List at ALA Midwinter, and I was instantly intrigued. The premise sounds awesome! This book has been high on my TBR list, and I hope to read it soon!

What book are you anxiously waiting for this week?

    Nice pick, Jen! I’m curious about The List, too, and think I’ll give it a go when it comes out… Isn’t it crazy how mean kids can be, especially in high school? Ugh!

    Not something I’d normally read but it does sound good and who hasn’t seen one of those Lists at least once floating around.
