Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that highlights an upcoming book release that we are eagerly anticipating.
Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star by Heather Lynn Rigaud. Released 30th September 2011.
Fast music, powerful beats and wild reputations on stage and off have made Slurry the band of the year--and the media's newest bad boys. Described as temperamental by their kindest critics, they've just lost their latest opening act and their red-hot summer tour is on the fast track to disaster.
Fitzwilliam Darcy, Slurry's tall, dark, and enigmatic virtuoso guitarist, knows that this is no time to be picky, but he never expected what was waiting when he, Charles Bingley and Richard Fitzwilliam crashed the Meryton Public House.
Elizabeth Bennet, the fiercely independent and talented lead singer of Long Borne Suffering has serious reservations about joining such a trouble laden tour with the bad boys of Rock and Roll, but the opportunity is just too good to pass up! On the Slurry tour, the music's hot, but backstage is an inferno.
OK so I am a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice continuations and modern re-tellings and this one sounds freaking awesome!
That's all for now.
ooh! sounds interesting!

ReplyDeleteI can never resist a P&P retelling.
How fitting that I happen to have it on the TV in the background when I read your post!
Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Sounds like a really fun book. I still haven't read Pride and Prejudice - yes I'm hanging my head in shame. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good!.
ReplyDeleteAnother retelling, with a completely different idea from the zombies one! Sounds amazing...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. You picked a nice one yourself. Will definitely look out for this book. I'm a sucker for reinvention of classical literature.

Nimue @ My bookish obsessions
Ooh, cool! I love a good modern retelling of P&P as well, and this one sounds awesome. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sally!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my WOW post!!
I haven't heard of this one, but any "Pride and Prejudice" retelling is automatically going to be a hit with me!! So I'm adding this one to my TBR pile!! YAY!!! Thanks so much for recommending it!! : )
Thanks for the visit! Glad to meet another Pierce fan. :)
ReplyDeleteFitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star sounds awesome! I'm a sucker for Pride and Prejudice retellings.
Ha! I'm not such a sucker for retellings - I think they can go wrong too easily - but I have to admit, this one looks fabulous. Great pick and thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI love P&P and really hope this one does it justice...from the original to rockstars seems like a slippery slope. Then again - so did zombies, and I loved those!
ReplyDeleteHaha!! This sounds like a very cool idea - I wonder if it will translate to page?? I'll definitely give it a go!!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this one before! Great pick! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!

ReplyDeletesexy choice =9 love it!
ReplyDeleteI have never read P&P, but this one does seem pretty interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, and see you tomorrow for FF :D
Sounds pretty cool! The only rock books I've read are the erotica books from Olivia Cunning. Loved those though. Maybe I'll check it out! :]
ReplyDelete♥ Sarah @ I'm Loving Books
I absolutely adore Pride & Prejudice, but have never read any of the spinoffs or retellings. But I have to admit I giggled a bit as the idea of Darcy as a rock star.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see what modern twist did the author insert in this classic romance. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting....I may have to check this one out. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like it would be filled with some heavy banter! Awesome!
ReplyDelete- Mary [Anxirium]
Sounds fun! I love P&P re-tellings, so I'm adding it on my list!
