Awesome! Glad to have you!


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) It's really good! You guys will love it. :) It's light and fast read.


Kathy | 7669 comments This is sooooo good! They made it into a series for TV, but it didn't get picked up by the network! :(

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Awesome! I think I will really like it!

And oh yeah! I heard about that Kathy! That stinks! :(


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) @ Kathy - it's a shame they didn't get it. They missed one good show.


Chelsea (chelc13) | 966 comments I heard they were going to retry to make it into a series. I follow on IMDB lol


Chelsea (chelc13) | 966 comments Well apparently they passed it up the second time for the show, "The 100" :(, but the book is really great so I hope you guys enjoy it

I know! How do they do that!?! Was the 1st one going to be at the movie theaters and the 2nd one on the CW? And they scraped both!! What a waste of money!!

@Jacquelyn, I hope you guys like it! It is really good! I'll have to keep an eye on this thread! I want to know what you think and which guy you like better! :)

Haha okay! :D


Chelsea (chelc13) | 966 comments No, they were both picked up by CW... I was so excited for it lol


Trinity  (tsundokuproblem) I heard Delirium and The Selection were supposed to be on Fox, but it got turned down. I didn't hear anything about CW.

I love this book so much! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!


Kathy | 7669 comments I don't know who was supposed to pick up which ones, all I do know is neither one got picked up and I'm not happy! At! All!! :'[

I'm a bit disappointed the Selection didn't get picked up too :-( They cast they chose for Delirium didn't look as I had imagined, so I'm not too upset about that.


Chelsea (chelc13) | 966 comments Hmm... well, on IMDB, The Selection listed CW, not Fox, but it could be wrong lol - though I did see that Delirium was Fox

And I agree Delirium's cast didn't look to great, but it could always be recasted if they decided to make it a movie and not a series

I was actually really excited about Emma Roberts playing Lena! I wonder what they do with the episodes or movies that don't make to air time?? Are they just sitting in the cans on shelves collecting dust? lol! :D

Hahaha! Good question! I think they should at least still post them online or whatnot, so the cast won't feel like they went through all of that filming and no one saw it. I know they were already paid, but you know.

I liked Emma Roberts playing Lena as well, it's just that the rest of the cast wasn't so great... I have 15 more pages left to read of Delirium and I will most definitely finish it today. I'm picking out the books I'm going to be reading for Bout of Books 8.0 which starts tomorrow! :-D

Kathy | 7669 comments I know and can you imagine how much money was paid out for The Selection?? They made 2!! And the first one had some really well known actors! And the costumes!! For 2 production!! That is just crazy!

Ah!! Delirium is my favorite series! My favorite book boyfriend crush!!! Alex is so freaking sweet!! I still need to read the last part of Requiem from Alex's POV!! I didn't get it on my ebook copy, but at least someone was nice enough to post it online somewhere! :D


Chelsea (chelc13) | 966 comments Yea, Emma Roberts would have been pretty great!

Janessa King (janessaking) | 104 comments Getting ready to start this...woo!


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm 3 hours behind everyone (I think. I'm PST) and it's 6:50 AM here. So I leave for work in 10 minutes and won't be home till 4:30 my time. So I most likely won't be on this thread till after that unless I have a chance to read at school,

Are we just reading or are we going for so many pages or chapters a day?

Happy reading everyone!!


Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) | 4889 comments I hope you guys like this one... I'll be stalking your thread!

We can all BR THE ONE together!


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Kathy, we'd need to read book 2 first! I take it you've already read book 2?


Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) | 4889 comments Book 3 doesn't come out until next year, so you'll definitely be good to go... I'm thinking March maybe but I can't remember for sure.

I loved book 1, book 2 not so much, but I'm still looking forward to #3 and seeing who she ends up with. I'll be interested to see what "teams" you guys choose as you read!

:-)

Btw, I'm on Team Maxon, LOLOLOL!

No fair, Becky, you've just swayed me! LOL


Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) | 4889 comments LOL, you are perfectly capable of making up your own mind Ms. Vicki! :-P LOLOLOL!

I know plenty of ppl on Team Aspen too. At one point I was on Team NO ONE because I was disgusted with both of them, lol!

I am on team NO ONE because I haven't begun this yet. Have I told you lately that I am BEHIND? LOL OMG I am SO behind!


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Jacquelyn, Trinity, and Grace, have any of you begun this book yet? I haven't had the chance to start it yet, but I'd like to at least begin it later today unless you girls aren't ready.

Janessa King (janessaking) | 104 comments I just finished it and I love it!!!! At first I was Team Aspen, and then I was rooting for both (I know, silly :P), but now I'm leaning towards Team Maxon. I can't wait to read the next book! :)
