What book am I eagerly anticipating at this moment? Why it just so happens to be…
Tiny Pretty Things
by Sona Charaipotra & Dhonielle Clayton
Releases May 26th, 2015 from HarperTeen
Synopsis:
Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars in this soapy, drama-packed novel featuring diverse characters who will do anything to be the prima at their elite ballet school.
Gigi, Bette, and June, three top students at an exclusive Manhattan ballet school, have seen their fair share of drama. Free-spirited new girl Gigi just wants to dance—but the very act might kill her. Privileged New Yorker Bette’s desire to escape the shadow of her ballet star sister brings out a dangerous edge in her. And perfectionist June needs to land a lead role this year or her controlling mother will put an end to her dancing dreams forever. When every dancer is both friend and foe, the girls will sacrifice, manipulate, and backstab to be the best of the best.
Twirling around in anticipation. Ballet books are either awesome or terrible. This cover is making me lean toward “awesome” but we shall see. C’mon, May 26th, let’s pick up the pace!
Are you looking forward to reading Tiny Pretty Things?

YES IT IS AMAZING. I’m always on the lookout for amazing ballet books, and I don’t find them very often, but THIS one is incredible.

Agh, so happy to hear! I’ve read a few ballet books: Bunheads, Audition, The Walls Around Us… But so far I’ve enjoyed ballet movies (Black Swan, Center Stage, Mao’s Last Dancer, First Position) over books. Well, real live ballets are obviously the best, but I haven’t been to a ballet in years. Okay, getting back on topic — I can’t wait to read Tiny Pretty Things now that it’s got your stamp of approval! 😀

I love that cover! And if this were a movie I’d definitely watch it (liked Black Swan a lot), but I’m not sure if it’s a “me” book. I’ll be looking forward to reviews for sure!

The cover IS gorgeous, isn’t it? I’m very pumped to read this and I hope it turns out really good. I’ve seen that only a few people have read it so far, but they’ve given it glowing praise. Fingers crossed that I’ll like it, too!

I can’t wait to get to this one! I read the first chapter but it seemed like a bit too much high-school drama so I put it down but I’ve heard that it gets really good.
The cover IS stunning!
