For my first time participating in the “Waiting on” Wednesday meme, I had to choose the book that is on the the top of my most anticipated list!
Title: Delirium
Author: Lauren Oliver
Publication Date: February 1 2011
Publisher: HarperCollins
Genre: YA Dystopia
Description from the publisher:
In Lauren Oliver’s stunning second novel, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the cure. Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. But then she meets enigmatic Alex, who lives under the government’s radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?
Lauren Oliver follows up her incandescent debut, the New York Times bestseller Before I Fall, with this extraordinary novel about a high-stakes romance set in a dystopian United States. Delirium presents a world as terrifying as The Hunger Games and a romance as true as Romeo and Juliet.
Lauren Oliver’s first novel Before I Fall is one of my favorite books that I read this year, and I have been excited to read Ms. Oliver’s follow up. Delirium has generated great early buzz and I can’t wait to read it for myself.

If Oliver’s first book is any indication of her talent than this one should be amazing. I have already pre-ordered it so I will get it as soon as it is available. Great pick!
That’s awesome that you pre-ordered it. I’m definitely excited to own it.

I have not read much dystopian fiction, but I keep seeing people’s glowing reviews of that genre, so I think I’ll have to give it a try…
Hope you enjoy this one, and thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
Thanks! I have read just a few books in the dystopian genre so far and got hooked with The Hunger Games.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I loved If I Fall, so this one should be really good. Great pick!
I love dystopian futures and this one certainly has a unique take on it, so I am definitely waiting on it too.
This is what I’m waiting on.
