Cover Revealed: Pandemonium, a Delirium novel (#2) by Lauren Oliver

Hardcover, 448 pages
Expected publication: March 6th 2012
by HarperTeen
Lauren Oliver captivated readers with Delirium, the first book in a thrilling dystopian trilogy in which Lena Haloway dared to fall in love with Alex and escape the cure, the government-mandated procedure that renders a person immune to the disease of love. Lena and Alex staked their lives on leaving their oppressive society, but only Lena broke free. 
Pandemonium continues Lena’s gripping story. After escaping from Portland, Maine, Lena makes it to the Wilds and becomes part of an Invalid community, where she transforms herself into a warrior for the resistance. A future without Alex is unimaginable, but Lena pushes forward and fights, both for him and for a world in which love is no longer considered a disease. Swept up in a volatile mix of revolutionaries and counterinsurgents, Lena struggles to survive—and wonders if she may be falling in love again. 
Full of danger, forbidden romance, and exquisite writing, Lauren Oliver’s sequel to Delirium races forward at a breathtaking pace and is sure to appeal to fans who crave the high-stakes action of The Hunger Games and the bittersweet love story of Romeo & Juliet.
Isn't she lovely? Isn't it beautiful? I have to read Delirium... That's it, after Undercurrent I am reading Delirium and getting up to date with this fantastic series. I love the orange color, it also goes with the new cover...

Delirium

Did you guys enjoy Delirium? Was it as good as they say?

Lissa Dragomir's song to Christian Ozera; YA Love Songs #2

**Super Spoiler Alert for those who haven't read Spirit Bound, #5 book in the Vampire Academy Series, you might want to avert your eyes, but feel free to come back whenever you do read it ^^**

So you remember how rocky Lissa and Christian's relationship was on book 5 right? How they fought and were in  a drama filled kind of war, neither of them wanted to back down, Christian was hurt, Lissa was pissed, etc?

Well, I've found their song! It fits that moment in their relationship to a tee.

Song's Name: The Story of Us
by Taylor Swift

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"


[You know, cause they are so perfect for each other; Christian deserves more credit than he gets really, he is such a great guy, I like him way more than I like Adrian]

I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on


[After Christian broke up with her this is how Lissa felt, lost and alone]

Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

[It wasn't simple, but there was definitely some miscommunication going on between them]

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me


[Christian did held on to his pride for a long time, and Lissa was jealous of virtually any girl who spent time with Christian so she was losing her mind]

Oh, we're scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud

 

[My favorite line of the entire song is this last one. The uncomfortable silence between two people who broke up is always charged and specially between Christian and Lissa since they still loved each other, they were just mad and hurt, too hard headed to see reason]

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight

So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
'cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now


Of course they kiss and make up at the end, but for when they are apart and pissed this is like the perfect song for Lissa to sing Christian.

Here is the official music video:


So what do you think?

PS; That is Kristen Prous playing the role of Lissa and Nicholas Hoult playing the role of Christian.

Super Cover Alert!!! The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2) by Richelle Mead

Expected publication: March 2012
by Razorbill

It has a cover! Bloodlines isn't even out yet and this one already has a cover! Hmm I don't know if I like this one better than Bloodlines, and I wasn't a fan of the Bloodlines cover. Sydney would be the character on the left and Jill on the right. Jill looks mad o.o and why the half faces? The book is called the Golden Lily but we can't even see Sydney's golden lily. A bit silly. Plus the mix of gold and white? Hmmm... I still want to read this book so bad!! Bloodlines was pretty awesome, and I bet this one won't disappoint us.

Click here for my review on Bloodlines.
