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!

This book has been on my wishlist for a while. It's a bit different than the books you normally post, so I was surprised to see it here today!
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
