On My Wishlist (#7)
On My Wishlist is a wonderful weekly meme from Book Chick City in which we drool over the books on our wishlist that we may not get to buy for a while!
Delirium – Lauren OliverFeb 2011 (Hodder)
Goodreads Summary:
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.
One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies – Sonya Sones
The summary isn’t that great from goodreads but I’ve heard it is awesome and also its a verse novel… which after The Day Before I really want to read more of!
The Bermudez Triangle – Maureen Johnson “Their friendship went so far back, it bordered on the Biblical — in the beginning, there was Nina and Avery and Mel.” So says high school senior Nina Bermudez about herself and her two best friends, nicknamed “The Bermudez Triangle” by a jealous wannabe back on Nina’s eleventh birthday. But the threesome faces their first separation when Nina goes away the summer before their senior year. And in ten short weeks, everything changes.
Nina returns home bursting with stories about Steve, the quirky yet adorable eco-warrior she fell for hard while away. But when she asks her best friends about their summer romances, an awkward silence follows.
Nina soon learns the shocking truth when she sees Mel and Avery…kissing. Their friendship is rocked by what feels like the ultimate challenge. But it’s only the beginning of a sometimes painful, sometimes funny, always gripping journey as three girls discover who they are and what they really want

Some good choices! Delirium is pretty good (though not great as I’d hoped). The Bermudez triangle sounds like a really interesting read!

I’ve been looking at Delirium for a while, I look forward to your review when you get hold of it!

You’re not the only one, I haven’t read Delirium either! It sounds great though. I’ve heard a lot of good things about The Bermudez Triangle too – great picks!

You’ll enjoy Delirium when you read it. ^__^
The Bermudez triangle looks really good…not normally my thing, but I agree- there aren’t that many gay couples in YA…and with a waterproof cover? Need that on all my books…If only there were waterproof pages too (I read at the bus stop until my friend comes, and I’m often in the rain…)
Thanks for entering my giveaway!

Sonya Sones is really good! I’ve read “Stop Pretending” and “What my mother doesn’t know” years ago and they are realllly good!

Omg I read the bermudez triangle years and years ago, it’s pretty good! I’ve got delirium but I still haven’t read it!

Hey, it seems that you’re not at all the only blogger in the bloggyverse who’s got “Delirium” and hasn’t read it yet. I’m in that group, too!
There are just SO MANY truly terrific books to read, and not enough time to read them all… I’ll just have to get the ones I want to read all together on one shelf, and go through them one by one! Lol.
