"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine-http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/
It spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Prom & Prejudice – Elizabeth Eulberg
Paperback Published: January 1st 2012
A prom-season delight of Jane Austen proportions. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date. After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious Longbourn Academy become obsessed with the prom. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on a scholarship, isn't interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be - especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London. Lizzie is happy about her friend's burgeoning romance but less than impressed by Charles's friend, Will Darcy, who's snobby and pretentious. Darcy doesn't seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it's because her family doesn't have money. Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk - so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway?
I know it is released already but I am waiting for it to come. I am one of those people who have not read Jane Austen but am eager to get into some modern day retelling's inspired from the classic and hopefully one day read it.
