Starbuck Sunday: Divergent by Veronica Roth

 I admit, the first four chapters were like eh. But at the fifth chapter, my heart was pounding. It was so unexpected to see Caleb choose another faction. But with Beatrice, it was obvious she was picking Dauntless. So each faction is separate. One is selflessness, bravery and risky, honest, smart, and kindness. You get to choose which faction you get to be in at sixteen by an aptitude test. Your results are based on personality. Imagine that happened to you. Which faction would you choose? For me it would be hard to choose. And if you fail the initiation, you end up faction less. The faction less are basically hobos.

So, Beatrice passes the initiation by being the first one to jump seven stories. Isn't that crazy? And when you transfer factions, you start fresh. New faction, new name, new life. So she decides her name to be Tris. (Personally, I like Tris better) So, throughout initiation, she faces some problems but she gets to find the real her and fall in love (can you guess who?) and manage to stop the beginning of a war, but there's sacrifice that showed love.

Even though I read this book in two day (I am super reader girl O:) because I was in a rush to read Asunder, it's a very great book. Especially for those bookworms who love The Hunger Games. If you read it, you'll eventually figure out it has that Hunger Games flair with some individuality. I give this book 5 Nerdy Cats. After Asunder, I might read Insurgent or read On Fire by Nancy Holder (It's a Teen Wolf book AAAAH!) And for the Asunder review, I will show you guys a picture of the book I got through the mail and the cute pompom bookmark that Jodi Meadows, herself, made. It's very cute and colorful and since I got it on Valentine's Day, it's also the best Valentine's Day gift I've gotten :)

Page Turning Tuesday: Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

    The book Incarnate by Jodi Meadows was amazing. Originally, I would've read the book a few months later if I decided to read it on my own time. But Pitch Dark Days were doing a re-read of the book, so I wondered, why not? Sadly I couldn't read the entire book in one week. It took me two or three weeks due to the fact that I barely have free-time.

To be honest, from my roleplay characters (Yes, I'm a nerd), I can totally understand Ana. Incarnate for me, easily put me in her shoes. But the plot was very unpredictable. In the beginning, I thought that Ana had gained citizen rights, stayed with Sam, and was reincarnated. But I had no idea someone came back and stopped reincarnation for a few hours (I won't spoil the entire thing) But at the end of the book, Ana has gained more confidence and her enemies in the first book are gone.

I randomly won the Dark Days Incarnate contest. So they will be sending me Asunder. I love this book allot, hands down to Jodi Meadows. I can't wait to read Asunder. But for now, as I wait, I will be going back to read Divergent (I had to stop in order to read Incarnate) and if I'll write a review for Divergent also.

I give this book 5 Nerdy Cats. You'll be expecting to see 4-5 Nerdy Cats throughout my blog because most of the books I read are 4-5 Nerdy Cat worthy. I have so many books to read its ridiculous! I just got Indigo Spell (super excited) and I still need to read Insurgent, the Unearthly Series, the Shatter Me series and a few Percy Jackson books as well as almost all of Nicholas Sparks' books (Did I mention I'm a sappy romance reader also?) I'm also planning on watching Beautiful Creatures in the next few days (most likely weeks) and give you the entire series review and movie review. So basically, I have allot to read!
