Waiting on Wednesday #32


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spines. This is a cool way to spotlight a upcoming release that you're anxious about, as well as checking out what other book lovers are anticipating as well. So, check out my WoW this week:

Belle EpoqueBelle Epoque

by 
Hardcover, 336 pages
Expected publication: June 11th 2013 
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers

Synopsis via Goodreads:
When Maude Pichon runs away from provincial Brittany to Paris, her romantic dreams vanish as quickly as her savings. Desperate for work, she answers an unusual ad. The Durandeau Agency provides its clients with a unique service—the beauty foil. Hire a plain friend and become instantly more attractive. 
Monsieur Durandeau has made a fortune from wealthy socialites, and when the Countess Dubern needs a companion for her headstrong daughter, Isabelle, Maude is deemed the perfect foil.
But Isabelle has no idea her new "friend" is the hired help, and Maude's very existence among the aristocracy hinges on her keeping the truth a secret. Yet the more she learns about Isabelle, the more her loyalty is tested. And the longer her deception continues, the more she has to lose.

I just love the cover and the fact that the story takes place in Paris. Its always nice to read books set in different countries outside of the U.S.

What are you waiting on?

    I haven't heard of this one before. I don't know that it would be a book for me, but the cover is really pretty. I also like books that are set in different places.

    Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
    I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
    Any recommendations?
