This week I'm waiting on...
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
Summary from Amazon.co.uk: In the beginning we were nine. We left when we were very young, almost too young to remember. Almost. And now . . . Three are gone. We are here to keep our race alive, which was almost entirely obliterated. We’re just trying to survive. Six are left. But we are hunted, and the hunters won’t stop until they’ve killed us all. They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. I am Number Four. I know that I am next.I've been through a bit of a YA sci-fi drought recently, so this one has me doing my happy dance. Apparently, it's about aliens on the run from some evil force who wants to kill them.
Aliens! How awesome. Aliens are my favourite.
Also, if the online bookstores have it right, it appears there might be two UK covers for this one. Which is cool because... well, it just is. I'm not sure whether it's a boy cover / girl cover thing or a YA cover / grown-up cover thing, but in this kind of situation I tend to find I want them both.
Current ETA for I Am Number Four is August 26th 2010 in the UK and August 17th 2010 for US types. I Am Crazy Excited.

Wow, what an awesome premise. This sounds really dramatic, thrilling and dystopian.
Other than Chaos Walking I can't think of any alien inhabited books. Perhaps you could do a recommendation post. :-)
I'm looking forward to this one too.
But I am intrigued by your alien comment, definitely do a recommendation post! :)
Ooh, this sounds good! I haven't read anything about aliens in a really long time.
Ooh I do like a bit of dystopia from time to time - this one sounds great!x
I think I'll like this one!The last one I read about aliens was a total crap so I need something good on them :)
Great pick - I'm really looking forward to this one too! :)
Hey Lauren, we have a tiny sneak peek of the book at IAmNumberFourFans.com. You can take a look here if you like: http://bit.ly/dzatUE
Not a big fan of sci-fi, but this sounds cool!
This looks great. Also, they are making it into a film with the rather scrummy Alex Pettyfer, who should pay all leading men from now on.
You do know that this has been optioned for a film right? It's like being filmed at the moment, releases next year. I only klnow this because i'm a major Alex Pettyfer fangirl and he's been cast as Number Four!!
I am so reading the book first because it sounds AMAZING. Great pick
What's up with the covers for this book, especially the US one? Ack. Anyway, I think the premise is amazing (I love aliens, too!). *Random* I'm curious if James Frey will ever come out and just admit he's Petticus Lore. It took me a lot of grrr-inducing research back in April trying to figure out why some articles referred to Frey as the author and Lore in others. Also, it kinda annoys me that there was so much more coverage about the movie when it was first optioned than the book. I mean, this is a movie BASED ON A BOOK. I could find lots of articles on the movie and casting *Pettyfer*, but not the book back then. I think that's kinda sad, you know? But anyway. I'm rambling, as usual. I want to read this, badly. **ALIEN FAN 4 LIFE **
