The Selection Series:
- The Selection
- The Elite
- The One
I really should be embarrassed about the time it took me to read all three of these books, but I am not. Thanks to Kiera Cass I am actually moving towards my 2015 reading goal. When I was invited to read the first book of the The Selection Series I was really excited. The moment I picked it up I was hooked.
I immediately bought the second book The Elite and ran through that one and grudgingly had to wait five days before the third book The One was released! Guess what, I read The One just as fast. I love reading Young Adult literature. There is something fun about it, relaxing and easy. Makes reading fun. The way it should!
My review:
The Selection Series was set 300 years in the future. I am not a “in the future” kind of reader but that is what was great about these books, it wasn’t too over the top. Kiera Cass is a great writer and let’s us into the world of the castes of Iliea. I felt myself feeling like this series was The Bachelor with a mix of The Hunger Games. Hey, I like both of those so that must be why I was hooked.
America is the main character in the first two books and we see her make her way through the selection but also see her blossom into a great woman who wants to make changes in her kingdom even before she is in control.
So, who should read these books? Anyone who wants a great summer beach read. Seriously, these will keep you totally in vacation mode all summer long, although it will not take you all summer to read these. I am so ready for book four! Bring it Kiera!
I have also heard that there is a movie in the works, once you read about the beautiful dresses in this book you will probably be just as excited to see the fashion on the big screen!
I am proud to say that my goal of 5 books in 2015 is up to 3! Woohoo! Look, I know that goal is tiny but things are busy! Ha!
Have you read any of The Selection Series?
Those sound like great books. I can't wait to check them out.

Well, if you can judge a book by its cover, those look awesome. Love the dresses!
These do sound like a great addition to my summer, beachside reading list! I love when I find a series that hooks me from the start. There's nothing better than finishing a book, looking forward to the next one!

Everyone is RAVING about these books. I need to give them a go. I heard they are quick reads.
This is my first time hearing about this series. I haven't read an "adult" book in a couple of months so I may have to check them out.
I bet my daughter would love this series. I'll pass it along to her to maybe add to her summer reading list.

I really like when books come in series. When you find a good character,you don't want to let her go.
This is totally up my alley. I'm a huge romance junkie so will be checking these out for sure.
Sounds like they would all be fun reads! Love a good romance!
