Book Review: Beauty Queens by Libba Bray

Image
Book title: Beauty Queens Author: Libba Bray Published: May 24th 2011 Summary: 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...

Every Tuesday there is a top ten something, like top ten authors or top ten books, and every week there is a different topic, and everyone chooses their top ten ( and if you don't have a top ten you can pic top 5 or any number). i really liked this and i wanted to do it. This Tuesdays top ten is: Top Ten Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List (basically an auto-buy list is no questions asked..you love this author so much that no matter what they wrote next you'd buy regardless of genre or subject matter) btw, i just realized that all my favorite authors on this list are women lol, i didn't realize that before ( but that doesn't mean that i don't read and love male authors, i love James Patterson, Neal Shusterman, J.R.R Martin and many many more. ) 1. Richelle Mead Author of The Vampire Academy seri...
