by Libba Bray
Goodreads synopsis:
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.
If you've read Beauty Queens, I would definitely like to hear what you thought of it :)
What's on your wishlist this week? Let us know in the comments below, or link to your own Wishlist Wednesday post in the Linky :)

I have actually started reading this but got bored very soon so I don't think I will pick it up again. Still, I heard great things about it and you might like it :)

I loved Beauty Queens! I read it on vacation a couple of years ago, and I laughed all the way through it. I suppose it depends on your sense of humor, but I thought it was terrific. Enjoy!

Nice pick! I've been eying this one for a while but never got to it. Hope you get it soon! :)

I really enjoyed this book. I'm pretty sure this was the first book that actually made me laugh out loud. It is like you are watching a TV show. There are commercials and everything. Hope you get to read it soon!
This wouldn't be my usual pick but it sounds hilarious. I think I will definitely have to check it out as I'm laughing picturing beauty queens trying to survive in the mud. It sounds alot of fun and really interesting! I bought The Diviners by Libba Bray the other day so hopefully I'll like her as an author and give this one a go. I also really like the cover! Great choice :)

This one has been on my to-read for quite a while now! I was reluctant to add it too, but it does sound good!

I've been debating about this one myself. It sounds interesting but I still don't know. I think the cover is what is turning me off.
I have seen this one around the blogging world. It sounds like a fun read. I might have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get it soon!
