Waiting on Wednesday (#5)

Waiting on Wednesday is a Book Hop  hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  

This week's pick is:

Requiem

Warning: Spoilers from Delirium & Pandemonium are in the synopsis

"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. Of Pandemonium, ALA Booklist noted that “like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.”

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"

Release Date: March 5, 2013

I'm super excited about this book! This is definitely a book that I'm going to pre-order & read the day it comes out. I loved Delirium & I cannot wait to see what happens in the third & final book! I think it will be very intersesting to read half of it from Hana's perspective to see what's going on with her. By the way, I definitely hope Lena ends up with Alex! I like Julian, but he's just not Alex!

Cover Reveal: Requiem

I saw this on Goodreads & I got pretty excited. I've been wanting to see what the cover of Requiem by Lauren Oliver will like for awhile now. Lauren Oliver hasn't posted anything on her blog yet, and I haven't seen it on any Harper Collins related website, but Goodreads is pretty reliable, so I'm sure it is the official cover. If not, I'll delete this blog post and post a new one with the real cover.

Here it is: 

Release Date: March 2013

To be honest with you, I actually don't like it that much. The first one (Delirium) was my favorite. This girl does not even look like the same model as the girl who was on the first two covers. Actually, I don't know for sure if it's the same model for the first two. I don't really care, though, what the cover looks like. Just as long as the story pleases me, than I'll be happy.

What do you think of the cover of Requiem?
