The last month of the year is approaching! Time to prepare for some new books.
Let's start with December.
1. Annabel (Delirium #0.5) by Lauren Oliver
Summary:
Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost in Lena's past. Until now.
Discover her secrets in Lauren Oliver's brilliant original digital story set in the world of New York Times bestsellers Delirium and Pandemonium.
Lena
Halloway's mother, Annabel, supposedly committed suicide when Lena was
only six years old. That's the lie that Lena grew up believing, but the
truth is very different. As a rebellious teenager, Annabel ran away from
home and straight into the man she knew she was destined to marry. The
world was different then—the regulations not as stringent, the cure only
a decade old. Fast forward to the present, and Annabel is consigned to a
dirty prison cell, where she nurtures her hope of escape and scratches
one word over and over into the walls: Love.
But Annabel, like
Lena, is a fighter. Through chapters that alternate between her past and
present, Annabel reveals the story behind her failed cures, her
marriage, the births of her children, her imprisonment, and, ultimately,
her daring escape.

Summary:
No one is like Daemon Black.
When
he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.
After
everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not
sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in
discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization
responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there
is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still
lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will
become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the
outcome will shatter our worlds forever.
Together we’re stronger... and they know it.
