Waiting on Wednesday (2)

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Release Date: 1st February 2010

Publisher: 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 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."

 

I loved Oliver's debut novel, Before I Fall, which I reviewed here. I think she is a fantastic writer so I'm very excited to read this when it comes out.

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr

Release Date: 22nd February 2011

Publisher: HarperCollins

Description from Goodreads:

"The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.

Aislinn tends the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.

Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the faery courts, and in the final conflict, some will win…and some will lose everything."

I'm dying to read this book! Darkest Mercy is the fifth and final book in Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series. This series is the main reason I even started this blog, after reading the first three in this series I joined the Rath and Ruins Forum, from there I have met so many lovely people who also share my love for these books, as well as many others. I would never had thought of starting a book blog if I hadn't joined the Rath. Anyway enough of my gushing look at the beautiful cover!
