Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we discuss what books we can't wait for! My pick for today is:
The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
Publisher: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux
Expected Publication Date: March 4, 2014
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old
Kestrel is an aristocratic citizen of Valoria, a vast empire that revels
in war and enslaves those it conquers. Here, a girl like Kestrel has
two choices: join the military or get married. Despite her skills in
military strategy, Kestrel’s real passion is music.Which is why she
feels compelled to buy Arin, a slave with a talent for singing, at
auction. It’s not long before she finds herself falling in love with
Arin, and he seems to feel the same for her. But Kestrel quickly learns
that the price she paid for Arin is much higher than she ever could have
imagined.
Set in a new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of wicked rumors, dirty secrets, and games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

Why I'm Waiting:
This book sounds amazing. I feel like it's going to make me cry. Just a feeling I have. I already feel emotions reading the synopsis. A girl falling in love with her slave? I love it. It's going to be such a beautiful love story. And talk about room for growth for the MC. Oh and the cover is stunning. But the synopsis of this one is truly what stole my heart.
