Series: The Selection #2

Official synopsis:

The hotly-anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Selection.

Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.

America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.

Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

To this day I haven't got the chance to read The Selection although I do have it and it's almost on top of my TBR pile.

But now I'm going to talk about this beautiful cover! I never thought a color like that would look so amazing.

And here is a question for you all: is her dress red or orange? I mean, I think it's dark orange but my husband thinks it's light red so...

... Which color do you think it is?! :]

Interview with Kiera Cass

 Author of: The Selection

Alaiel: First of all, thank you for accepting the interview, Kiera. I know you must be busy.

Questions about yourself.-

Alaiel: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Kiera: Hi, I’m Kiera. I’m 30 years old, married to a spectacular nerd, and have the most entertaining toddler on the planet. I write books, hang out on Twitter, and make videos on youtube. Also, I like cake.

Alaiel: What is your favorite book? Why?
Kiera: It might be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It’s just plain old beautiful.

Alaiel: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
Kiera: I didn’t! I kind of stumbled into it. Writing just happened to be something I needed at one point in my life, and I decided that it might be fun to share my stories. And… here we are!

Alaiel: Where is your favorite place to write?
Kiera: I don’t really have one right now! I sort of have to work wherever, and so long as my son isn’t around to bang on the keyboard, I’ll take it!

Alaiel: Is there some kind of ritual that you need to do to write? Like listening a special playlist or have your favorite drink with you.
Kiera: I do have playlists that I use when I’m writing in public, just to help block things out. I can’t really share any of the songs right now, but I will once The Selection is out!
