Waiting on Wednesday (Times Two!)

Hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine

Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler
Release: March, 2012
Summary: 
Gabby Gardiner wakes up in a hospital bed looking like a cautionary ad for drunk driving and lacking a single memory of the accident that landed her there. What she can remember, in frank and sardonic detail, is the year leading up to the accident.

As she takes us through her transformation from invisible girl to on-trend Girl Who Dates Billy Nash (aka Most Desirable Boy Ever), she is left wondering: Why is Billy suddenly distancing himself from her? What do her classmates know that Gabby herself does not? Who exactly was in the car that night? And why is Gabby left alone to take the fall?

Putting the pieces together will take every ounce of Gabby's strength. As she peels back the layers of her life, she begins to realize that her climb up the status ladder has been as intoxicating as it has been morally complex...and that nothing about her life is what she has imagined it to be.
I am curious! So sad that it comes out in March, though...

Delirium by Lauren Oliver (special edition!)
Release: August 2nd, 2011
Summary:         
Ninety-five days, and then I’ll be safe.

I wonder whether the procedure will hurt.

I want to get it over with.

It’s hard to be patient.

It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet.

Still, I worry.

They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.

The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.
This one had me at the "Special Edition" circle on the cover. I really enjoyed Delirium, so I'm looking forward to this edition (a sample chapter of Pandemonium inside? I need this edition!!). Although it still appears to be a hardcover, and not the paperback...so that's weird. 

What are you waiting on?
