perfect-storms:


Once upon a time, there was a girl made of dirt.


She lived in a town full of stone people.


“You’re nothing,” they all said to the girl made of dirt. “Nothing.”


Every night, the girl made of dirt would talk to the wind… and the wind would only sigh.


The girl was lonely. Then one day, there was a storm. It rained for

Quotes by Lauren Oliver  (?)

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes".”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

message 105: by Jessica (last edited Apr 22, 2013 10:14AM)

Jessica Gomez I loved Requiem! I have to say, usually there is something, some small thing in all books that I would change, I wouldnt touch a thing in this one. It was FANTASTIC! I know some feel that there is no closure for a few characters. But I think that is EXACTLY how it should have been. You could slowly see it all throughout the book. Each character heading toward their ultamate ending. I could almost feel where everyone should be and with whom by the end of the pages. Not that I wish things couldnt have been different for some(two in particular), but it seemed that is just the way things NEEDED to end.

So CONGRATS! Keep it up. Cant wait to get my hands on something new of yours. Thank you for entertaining me! And helping me see a little more clearly how to LIVE FREE OR DIE.

PS: can you write an epilogue or an extra.. the book really ended abruptly.. :)

message 94: by Vicki

Vicki Hi Lauren, first let me say, I love you & your writing is amazing!!! I was so looking forward to the Movie, yet scared of how it would turn out....then on one hand the TV Series sounds like an amazing idea too, but as a HUGE fan of yours (a fully grown ADULT fan at that) I honestly don't know what to feel. So, I'm on the fence. I think I'm scared that they will ruin your amazing work in the "transformation" process. IDK I guess I'm nervous that one of my favorite Books is going to crash & burn b/c of the changes.....are you involved in the process? Do you get any say in what happens?!


Erin Lynn EEP! I am so excited that you accepted my friend request. I honestly would have never heard of you if it weren't for the giveaways on this site. I won Before I Fall, and then I ended up buying Delirium and Pandemonium as soon as I finished Before I Fall. Anyways, thanks for accepting. I can't wait for Requiem!


message 92: by Yousra

Yousra Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for accepting my friend request. It really means a lot to me, because you are an amazing inspirational author. Your books are so deep and awesome! I love writing and hope that I can write books that are as amazing as yours!

message 89: by Olivia

Olivia That moment on Goodreads Choice Awards knowing none of the cover books, I clicked on the "Goodreads Author category" and it only loaded on picture. So I moved the mouse over the space where the one next to it was supposed to be and voila! The URL link shown told me that that book was Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. Needless to say, I didn't wait for the others to load...I just clicked the "Vote" button immediately. Anything wrong? Nope. In case you were wondering, no there weren't any other books on there that I had loved...

message 85: by Julia

Julia Hi! I really love your Delirium Series! Cant wait for thenext book :) ill have to check out your other books soon!

Okay, all through Pandemonium I was right by Lena when she was getting over Alex's death. (I was like arguing with myself whether or not alex was really dead, but Lena believing it kinda made up my mind for me i guess.) I was even kind of happy when she started to like Julian, you know, to help get over Alex. Right when I came to terms with Alex's death...BAM!... the ending.... I dont know whether Im Team Julian or Alex now.... maybe Ill know before the end of the next book. I have some serious thinking to do :)

Jeremy Stock Hi Lauren, Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Delirium series, I'm halfway through Pandemonium at the moment. Delirium is my constant pick for best YA novel of 2011, and I've been telling everyone. (I'm discouraged by the amount of attention Divergent keeps getting, when I find your work in Delirium to be far superior, but I keep spreading the word)!

Here's wishing you the best in God's blessings. Psalm 103

Melissa Love love love your work!! You are such an amazing writer.... Thank you for sharing your talent with us! :)

P.S I really hope Lena and Alex end up happy together...**fingers crossed** :) :)
