I wish you a British Christmas...

...and a Delirious New Year!

I am so, so excited--I received an early xmas gift today of a bunch of beautiful British ARCs of Delirium! Here's a pic. You know how you can tell it's British? Because it's drinking tea, silly!!


Anyway, this means I can give some galleys away. So please respond to this post BY USING THE WORD "DELIRIUM" IN A SENTENCE. Don't forget to include your email address! And you will be entered to win one signed copy of the UK ARC.

Additionally, I will be sending you a nifty bottle of Delirium essential oil from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with it but it comes in a cool bottle. See?


(On a side note, the picture above is an excellent example of artistic perspective, and might be used to practice drawing. Look how gigantic my hand looks!)

Please reply by 1/1/11. (OMG--best number ever!) And good luck!

Genesis said...

There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him
--easier to check it out in a dictionary


It is as absurd to say that [due to motherhood] all women shall be denied the suffrage, as it would be to deny all men the suffrage, because some are liable, periodically, to inflammatory rheumatism, delirium tremens, or financial failure.

I have already read Delirium and LOVED IT (I also passed it on to two friends already and they loved it), but I would love the essential oil and I could do a giveaway of the ARC on my blog!

Seriously, Delirium is probably my favorite YA book since The Hunger Games, and I can definitely see it getting just as popular. I can't wait for it to come out so I can see how much everyone else loves it.

Thank you so much for the giveaway!I want to win this so so so much!! I am so desperate to win Delirium!
I tried a little fun rhyme with the word delirium:

Alice was in a state of delirium,
Coz she had consumed too much sodium!
Now she saw the Tiger-lily blossom,
And thought it was a kid possum!

If you cant consider that as an entry,then here's a sentence:
As a consequence of Mrs. Jones' incapability to bear incessant loneliness after the departure of Mr. Jones,she suffers from recurrent bouts of delirium.

Thank you so much,
