Waiting On Wednesday (2)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking The Spine in which an upcoming, eagerly anticipated release is highlighted on the blog. This week Delirium by Lauren Oliver, coming out February 1, 2011 by HarperTeen:

 

Description (from Goodreads): 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 Holoway 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.

Last week I featured Matched by Ally Condie so this week I thought I'd feature this book which has been drawing many comparisons to Matched. Both stories feature dystopian societies where couples are paired up by the government. So, which book are you most excited to read? I'm probably more excited to read Matched if only because its release date is much sooner (November 30, 2010) so there's less time to wait!

  9. Matched and Delirium, I'd like to see someone blog about just that the similarities and differences. That would make for an interesting blog article. Any takers??
