What I want in my mailbox... (9)

What I want in my mailbox is my version of Waiting on Wednesday hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine.

This week I want Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John in my mailbox.

Synopsis:

THE CHALLENGE: Piper has one month to get a paying gig for Dumb—the hottest new rock band in school.

THE DEAL: If she does it, she'll become manager of the band and get her share of the profits, which she desperately needs since her parents raided her college fund.

THE CATCH: Managing one egomaniacal pretty boy, one talentless piece of eye candy, one crush, one silent rocker, and one angry girl who is ready to beat her up. And doing it all when she's deaf. With growing self-confidence, an unexpected romance, and a new understanding of her family's decision to buy a cochlear implant for her deaf baby sister, Piper just may discover her own inner rock star.

Doesn't it sound fantastic? I'm so excited to read this and John's first novel, Busted. Five Flavors of Dumb will be released November 11, 2010, AKA too long from now.

What are you waiting for?

Wow, hadn't heard of this one before but it sounds fun! Interesting to have the main character be deaf and be involved in marketing for a band.

Thanks so much for choosing my book, Cara! I'm thrilled you're looking forward to it, and can assure you it's as crazy as it sounds (though in a good way, I hope!). If I had any ARCs left I'd send you one, but I'm clean out. Even I don't have one! Still, if there's anything you want to know about the book (or if you'd like to give one away as a prize when it finally comes out) just let me know: antony@antonyjohn.net. In the meantime, thanks for giving authors like me the opportunity to have the best job in the world.

It's no problem at all! Thanks for writing it! I'm very excited to get my hands on this and definitely will contact you when I review. :)

Opps, just noticed that little comma error, lol.

Haha, no big. I always do stuff like that. :)
