Insurgent

It feels good to ache that a book is over. I haven't felt that in a while! Sure all the books I have read recently were great but I haven't felt sad that I book ended since...oh .... after the last Maze Runner was finished which was in November.

INSURGENT!! I received this book the day it was released and didn't read it until I was finally through with classes.

Story starts off where Tris and Tobias get off the train from the end of the first book. This book is about the war against the Erudite and the factions either uniting together or falling apart. The Erudite leader is trying to grab everyone on their side and one of the ways is to implant people with this dye that can allow her to control them. There are a select group of people who have the power to not be controlled and it looks like they are needed to help take down this Erudite leader. Will they? Or will the whole area crumble? I really suck at reviews....read below


Insurgent


One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.(less)

Reading!

So excited!! I had NO idea that this book was coming out in 19 days!!!


Yup, I pre-ordered a book for the very first time this morning! I  had a 10$ gift-card that i got from Groupon, so the book was $.79! I decided to get it in a hardback! You can never have enough books! I read Divergent last summer and wrote about it....Here is what I wrote about Divergent!

In other important news,

This song will NOT get out of  my head. DARN YOU, SNL! The one in the red jeans looks like my sisters boyfriend, lol. I don't think he'd be pleased if I told him that. It's just his eyes, lol!

Still trying to organize the house, no pics until parts are done!!



J.K. Rowling has a new book coming out!
Hold on to your hats, people: the publisher Little, Brown has just put out a press release giving us the title of JK Rowling’s new book… The Casual Vacancy! The book will be out on the 27th September 2012 (worldwide release date) and Little, Brown also provided a plot summary:

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adult
