Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jilly at Breaking The Spine. It features each blogger's most anticipated books. This week, my pick is Requiem by Lauren Oliver.
Summary: Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.
Any fan of Lauren Oliver knows that "why I can't wait" is a silly question. And anyone who read Pandemonium knows why I am anxious and dying to get my hands on Requiem. I'm about to reread the first two books just so I will be ready to experience the last book. THE LAST BOOK! I have been waiting over a year for this book so now that I have established silly question...
The thing I am most excited about is that this book is going to be from both Hana and Lena's perspective. I loved Hana in Delirium and the novella. I am really excited how that plays out in this new book.
Expected Publication: March 5, 2013 by HarperTeen
This book was awesome, you'll love it :) Plus the ending totally left it open for Lauren Oliver to continue the story, if she ever wanted to :D
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited to read it. And you are a lucky duck for getting an early peek!
DeleteI can't wait to pick this one up too! I can't believe I still haven't pick up Delirium! *cries*
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it!
Happy Reading! :)

Delirium was good. But Pandemonium was much, much better! It's one of my recommended reads!
DeleteI also can't wait for this one! Are you an Alex fan? I know I am.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of the same reading tastes and I really like the layout of your blog. New Follower!

Definitely an Alex Fan. Ms. Oliver tore my heart out by even making it an option. Thanks for following!!
DeleteI've read Delirium, and will read Pandemonium next week. I love Lauren Oliver, and I agree, "Why I'm waiting for it" is a silly question" when it's about Lauren Oliver :D
ReplyDeleteHere is my WoW.
Oh you will love it! Seriously. And be glad you waited because you are going to want the next book ASAP after that last page!
DeleteThis sounds really interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great pick. Especially if you don't mind soaking your pages with tears!
DeleteEEP! I'm DYING for Requiem! The cliffhanger at the end of Pandemonium totally threw me off, and I'm heartbroken to watch this trilogy end.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my WoW!

Oy the cliffhanger. Broke. My. Heart!
DeleteARGH I STILL haven't read 'Pandemonium'! I loved 'Delirium' but I'm too poor to buy the next one when other books are so much cheaper... I will get round to it this year hopefully.
ReplyDeleteI totally get that. I love books, but I am in a NO buying books place right now. I think I only got Delirium because I worked at a used book store which meant DISCOUNT. I got lucky with an ARC for Pandemonium.
DeleteHey. ^.^
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award! :D You've got an amazing blog. :3

ReplyDeleteWaiting for Pandemonium is a great idea. I would have if I had known... maybe. Well probably not.
DeleteSo many books, so little time. I understand that. When I think about all the series I have not gotten to yet, I start to get a little dizzy. It's a bibliophile problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following! I love followers!
ReplyDeletePandemoniums ending was terrible!!! I couldn't believe she did that to us lol. I'm so excited to finally find out what happens. Thanks for stopping by yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this book. I am dying to know how this series ends and if she ends up with Alex (and she better, or else! lol). Only a few more months!
