First of all I would like to start off saying that I am so very sorry for not posting in so long. I've just been so busy! We moved and then it was school and exams and then we moved (again-across the world!!), so it's been a lot going on for me. Within the time that I've been gone I've become obsessed with books!! Thanks to my awesome friend :) The first book I became obsessed with this-no, last year (2013) was
It's an amazing book!! You should definitely read it, especially if you like dystopian books.
Here's a little something telling you about the book ;)
"What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets."
Yep, i'm sure you're already in love with the book. And if you read the first book you're definitely gonna want to read the second book
I didn't think it was possible for the book to get better, but Mari Lu proved me to be wrong. The second book is like dwidnbjqnjab! Wow-amazing. And to be safe you should get the third book before you finish the second one because i'm gonna warn you...Oh wait, NO spoilers!! You're just gonna really want it or else you might suffer from deep depression.
Awesome cover right? I haven't even read it yet! I'm waiting to order it off of Amazon. People say that its really good. The way she ended the book and everything. I can't wait to read this and i'll be sure to tell you guys how it was when I finish it.
Now the next awesome book you're going to have to read is (DUN-DUN-DUNNNN)...
Okay, now first off you should know that I am extremely obsessed with this book at a whole nother level! It shouldn't even be legal to have a book this awesome okay. My awesome friend Jude lent me this book after I told her that I saw the trailer and it was so awesome and I had to read the book. Here's a little summary of the book,
"In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her."
You're in love already, I know it. Also check out the trailer right here. Press the play button, go ahead. Press it. NOW!!
Awesome right? Did you join the fandom yet or no? Be careful though, Divergent fangirls are very judgmental. Okay now after you've read the first book you're definitely gonna want to read the other two books.
Come back to me when you're in officially in the Fandom ;) Okay now you can stop fangirling for a second so I can tell you about this other book. If you haven't heard of it, I'm sorry. YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK honey :) haha sorry, that's me fan girling!
This book is Uh-mazing! Of course it is, it's John Green we're talking about here. He's such an amazing writer and as a person he's just absolutely hilarious! Have you seen his Youtube videos? This is really a good book. I'm more than halfway through it. I ordered it off of Amazon (well my mom ordered it. THANK YOU MOM!). I cried already because, well, i'm a crybaby like Ansel Elgort. It's nothing wrong with that. Lol. Okay here's a little bit about the book.
"Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten."
Yep beautiful, I know! So, if you happen to try out any of these books (i'm sure you will) make sure to comment below and tell me how you liked it so we can fangirl together :) Thanks for reading and hopefully i'll be posting more often from now on.
