|  | First Book Club: Delirium!
« Thread Started on Jan 1, 2012, 11:17am » | ![[Quote]](http://images.proboards.com/new/buttons/quote.png "[Quote]") |
Announcing our first book club for The Fandom! We've got all the details below!
Leader: Kait
Meeting Day: Sunday
The Book?
DELIRIUM BY LAUREN OLIVER
What's it about?
Delirium is the story of a futuristic dystopia in which love, in any form, is considered a disease. Everyone must go through the procedure to be cured on or just after their 18th birthday. Lena is only three months away from the cure when she discovers that there's more to the procedure and the real world than she ever knew.
Why should I read this book?
The book is strong, emotional and fantastic! Lauren Oliver is a master of prose and storytelling.Though it's not very well known right now, we think it has the potential to become one of the biggest new series in coming years!
The book is the first in the trilogy. The sequel, Pandemonium, will be released on February 28th. Fox 2000 has already optioned the rights to a film adaptation of the trilogy.
Where can I get the book?
You can pick up Delirium at any major book shop, via Amazon or any other online book retailer, or in E-book format for your Nook or Kindle. The book has been out for a year, so you may also find it in your local secondhand bookstore!
When do we start?
Sunday, January 8th! At that time, we'll review the first FIVE chapters! After that, we'll do 5 more chapters per week.
EXCERPT
Not the book you were hoping we'd read? NEVER FEAR! The Fandom will do up to three book clubs at the time, based on the willingness of others to lead these book clubs. If you're interested in leading a book club, send us a PM!

Yay for Delirium! I got it for my birthday last year. It's pretty good.

I'm super excited guys!
ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR EVERYONE PARTICIPATING! Because of the books length and the little time left before the release of the sequel, we will cover FIVE chapters each week, starting this Sunday!

I downloaded a sample chapter for my Kindle and haven't really had the motivation to read it yet. Maybe an internet book club is just what I need to find some new series to call in love with.
So we're supposed to have the first 5 read by the 8th then?

Yeah, Delirium isn't a full-on action/adventure book like Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. It's a lot more about storytelling, but the storytelling is great!
