This week I'm waiting on...
Matched by Ally Condie
Summary from Goodreads.com: In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s barely any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one . . . until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.
Okay, so this is a no-brainer choice for me. In fact, it's such an obvious me choice that I haven't WoWed it before, simply because it's basically a given. But just read that summary! It's set in the future. It's dystopian. It's about love. It has everything I'm looking for in a potential perfect read. And I can't wait to find out if I'm Team Xander or Team Ky.
Plus, gorgeous (though slightly freaky) cover alert! This one's out in the US on November 30th 2010, and in the UK on December 2nd. It's almost enough to make me wish the summer away.

This sounds FAB and i'm only a smidge jealous of those people who already have a copy! but YAY this has sold UK right you know, I am pretty sure Puffin are publishing this right close to the US release, wonder what our cover will look like?
I can't wait for this! So glad that Puffin Razorbill are publishing it over here :D
Ditto on the "obvious choice" bit. Soon as I saw it in the publisher catalog, I was hooked. Hurry up November!
