Title: Panic
Author: Lauren Oliver
Expected Publication Date: March 4th
2014
Panic began as so many things do in
Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was
summer, and there was nothing else to do.
Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.
Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.
For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Like so many of the other wonderful authors I met at YALL Fest 2013, Lauren Oliver was so nice and fun and has since become one of my favs!
I am still working my way through the Delirium series, but that is not going to stop me from read Panic when it is released :)
BONUS!!! Lauren Oliver is going to be in Atlanta on the release day. Baring some kind of unforeseen craziness, I will be there!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?!
