Today marks the paperback release of Pandemonium, the second book in the Delirium trilogy!
If you want to preserve the look of your hardcover version of Pandemonium, but still want to read it over and over again (maybe even dare to let your friends borrow it!), then click the image below to order the paperback edition of the book!
The official Delirium Trilogy Facebook has a great photo of President Barack Obama and his daughters, Sasha and Malia, buying books at a local, independent bookstore in Virginia. What on top of their stack of books? Delirium and Pandemonium!
What great taste in books!
Lauren Oliver had this to say about the discovery on her Facebook:
LOVE that Obama & his daughters bought my books (DELIRIUM & PANDEMONIUM) ! I am so proud!
thecupishalffull, a lucky receiver of a Requiem ARC, posted this picture today:
I’m sure I can’t be the only one who is super jealous. At least the release date for Requiem is edging ever closer!
If you haven’t done it already, Requiem is up for pre-order. I know you might be tempted to buy from Amazon right away (with their can’t-beat-it below-cost prices), but don’t forget that there are still smaller businesses out there. Though more expensive than Amazon, Powell’s of Portland, OR fame also has the book up for pre-order with around-the-world shipping. Please support book stores when buying books, and buy local when Holiday shopping this year!
Goodreads, the social network for book lovers, is back with its annual Goodreads Choice Awards!
Lauren Oliver has been nominated for favorite Goodreads Author and Pandemonium has been nominated for best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction!
Any member of Goodreads can vote in the awards. If you’re not a member, sign-up is as easy as providing a name and email address or simply connecting through Facebook! This may be beginning of the competition (Round One ends November 10) but it’s a fierce one, so get out there and support your favorites!
Check out this neat photo set for the Delirium Trilogy. I love that they are done in pastels. For some reason every time I think of the trilogy I picture soft colors like these. Also, check out the Requiem image, that’s a fighter there!

Asher Book (by popular request… and it’s his birthday!)
About: 24-year-old american actor born in Virginia. Went to school in New York at the Professional Performing Arts School. He’s been acting since he was a kid.
Pros:
-A rather diverse portfolio, including a single-episode voiceacting job in Dora The Explorer.
-Certainly looks the part of Alex, which probably has to do with the fact that he’s a favorite fancast.
-Has done quite a bit of stage acting
Cons:
– Relatively new to the Hollywood scene
-I honestly can’t find many. Here ends my list of cons.
We’ve been getting a couple requests for him, so what do you guys think?
Danielle Parker
About: Best known for playing Emma Lavery On All My Children.
Pros:
Danielle has been working steadily for years and has a recurring role on the popular soap opera All My Children which gives her experience.
She’s a very talented young actress. In 2012 she was nominated for two Young Artist Awards for her work on All My Children (which she won) and CSI: Miami. She was also nominated in 2011.
Cons:
She might be too old to play Grace. She is already 10 years old, though she does look younger. Whether or not she could pass as 6-7 year old by the time filming begins is still a mystery.
Douglas Booth
About: UK born actor who has worked on a number of miniseries and Shakespeare-related work (he’s played Romeo before!) He is also a model.
Pros:
– Perfect age-group for Alex
– Relatively unknown
Cons:
– He is known for a role in a bad Miley Cyrus movie. This can probably be forgiven considering the amount of Shakespeare he’s done.
-British accent. I haven’t heard his American accent, but this is a concern. Any thoughts on this?
I think he’d look great as Alex, but what do you guys think? Has anyone seen his work?
Caitlin Carmichael
About: Best known for playing Jenny McCarthy’s daughter in the Webisode In the Motherhood. She has also appeared on a number of TV shows and commercials.
Pros:
-She is currently in the right age range at 8 years old, but could easily pass for the 6 year old Grace now.
-She’s talented. She’s been nominated for the Annual Young Artist Award for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012).
-She has a solid resume for someone so young. She’s been acting since she was 3 and has appeared in many television shows, movies commercials in that time.
Cons:
-Will she look too old to play Grace once filming begins? Hard to say, but I think she is a capable actress who would do Grace justice!
Nikki Hahn (Sofia)
About: Best known for playing Tom Hanks’ daughter on a Jimmy Kimmel Live Skit, where she’s made multiple appearances. She’s also appeared in commercials, films and a number of TV shows.
Pros:
-Like Caitlin, she is currently in the right age range, though a little older at 9.
– She’s been acting most of her life. She started acting when she was 3 and has had steady work for the past few years.
Cons:
-She doesn’t have as much as experience as some other young actresses out there, but this really shouldn’t hold her back from making a great Grace!
-She also might not look young enough to portray a six year old when filming commences, but we won’t know until the time comes.
