Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I am eagerly anticipating.
This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is: Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Publication Date: February 1, 2011
Synopsis:
Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -the deliria- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.
This book sounds really interesting. I absolutely loved Lauren Oliver's first book, Before I Fall. (You can read my review of Before I Fall here.) Her writing is amazing, so I am excited to read her new book.
If you have a Waiting On Wednesday pick, let me know! I am always looking for more books to read.
