New Titles Coming From Lauren Oliver!
12:06 PM Posted by Bonnie @ A Backwards Story
Whatever will you read next?
How about...MORE Lauren Oliver Books?
In 2014, Lauren is releasing her first novel for adults, ROOMS. Not much is known about this one yet because HarperCollins/Ecco is keeping everything under wraps. But, uh....I already want it? Lauren Oliver is that good of an author.
If you're not ready to leave the world of Delirium just yet, there are two treats in store for you! Lauren wrote two more e-novellas in the vein of HANA.
The second new novella, RAVEN, will release on March 5th alongside its momma, REQUIEM.
For those who don't like e-books or don't have a way to read them or, heck, just want their own shiny copies to sit alongside their print copies of Lauren's other books, you're in luck! On March 5th, HarperCollins is ALSO releasing a paperback anthology that gathers together all three stories (and perhaps some additional treats?)! It's currently titled: DELIRIUM STORIES: Hana, Annabel, and Raven.
Okay, I don't know about you, but even though I have HANA as an ebook on my nook, I want that paperback copy because I own all of Lauren's book's in hardcover and they'll look so pretty and shiny together!
Besides DELIRIUM, Lauren Oliver has also written the best-selling stand-alone novel BEFORE I FALL (her debut!), as well as two stand-alone novels for children, charming LIESL & PO, and creepy THE SPINDLERS! Check them out for more Lauren Oliver love if you haven't already done so!

DELIRIUM optioned for film by Fox 2000!
11:32 AM Posted by Ella Preuss
This means that both of Lauren's books will be turned into films! YAY! We're so excited!!!Fox 2000 signed a first-look deal with Paper Lantern Lit, a company co-founded by Lauren Oliver and Lexa Hillyer that focuses on young readers and writers. The deal includes film rights to Oliver's second novel, Delirium, which was offered to Fox by Mazur/Kaplan Company, owned by producer Paula Mazur and Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books, Miami, Fla. They will also produce Delirium, which is their second acquisition (after The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society).
Variety reported that Fox "has been more aggressive than its competitors recently in picking up rights to the high-profile young adult books on the market. Fox 2000 recently acquired rights to The Book Thief, a New York Times bestseller, and Incarceron, with Taylor Lautner attached to star.... Under the deal, Fox 2000 will have rights to develop and produce young adult work from both Oliver and Lantern's pool of authors. Last year, the shingle obtained rights to Oliver's flagship novel Before I Fall...."
Fox's president Elizabeth Gabler said, "We know there's a huge, really aggressive audience in young moviegoers. I think the trend right now is to look at things that are created for them." [Info via]
Congrats Lauren, you definitely deserve it!

Hi everyone! I am overwhelmed by the response this blog's getting, it's just been live for two days and it already has 27 followers and two Affiliates! Thank you!
Also, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this:
(The quality is terrible, I know!)
Lauren loves the page! We have her approval! That is more than what I was hoping for when I started this! Thanks Lauren! I hope we see you soon around here ;)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to talk about my new Affiliates now, I'm sure you're familiar with their sites.
The first one is Fire and Ice, a great book review blog. They post amazing reviews all the time, it's really a blog I visit quite often. You should check out all the giveaways they're holding! They always have a new one!
The second one is Mundie Moms. We all love them! Their site is amazing as well, always something interesting's happening there. Just last night they had a Live Chat with Andrea Cremer, author of Nightshade!
Go visit them both if you haven't already (I'm sure you have, but still.)
I'd love to have you as an Affiliate! Email me at deliriouslyfalling@hotmail.com!
--------------------------------------------------------------
The next thing I wanted to talk about is the upcoming Before I Fall Read-Along over on Fallen Archangel.
BIF is their November Featured Fiction and they're having a Read-Along from Nov 27th to Dec 11th.
Here's a little video Lauren shared with them:*
I, of course, will be joining the girls at Fallen Archangel during this Read-Along, and can't wait for the Chat with Lauren! I'm sure it'll be awesome. Will you be joining them? You have plenty of time to get ready for it!

Lastly, I wanted to ask you something. Living in Argentina makes it kinda hard for me to attend Book Events and Author Appearances (I'd go to every single one if I had the power to fly from one country to another!).
But maybe you've been to some, and maybe, you've met Lauren. If you have -I'm super jealous, but I don't envy you, because envy is a bad thing!-, and you were fortunate enough to have your picture taken with her, send it to me! I'll post it here on a new feature I'm planning on making.
Just email me your photo at deliriouslyfalling@hotmail.com, with a little story about it (where you were when you met her, what day it was, was it rainy, sunny, anything!) and I'll post it here for everyone to see. Even Lauren!
Later!
Ella
Later!
