Book Spotlight Giveaway! Delirium by Lauren Oliver


I have sooooo many books! The Book Spotlight Giveaway feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to clear my shelves and to share some of the many books I have. This feature is a way for my to cull my collection and to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy these treasures.

I've read Delirium and loved it. At the time, it took me a few steps outside of my comfort zone, being one of the first dystopian novels that I had read. But I really enjoyed discovering this whole new genre. I have book #2, Pandemoniumon, my TBR shelf and I really need to pull it off soon.

Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

    1. It is a lot different from my 'usual' books. This is one I read several years ago and my reading tastes have taken me down a different path. I really enjoyed it though.
