Page Turning Tuesday: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

 This book was unexpected. That's basically the key sentence in this review. You get to see tragedies and traitors and people showing the different sides of them that they never shown in the first book.

The ending, WOOAH the ending. Your gonna be having your jaw to the floor at the end. But throughout the book, it's basically a uniquely different version of the Hunger Games. You've got the different factions fighting against the one who wants power and mind-control and you've got the politics. And you've got the people who will trust their guts to stop it and romance OH THE ROMANCE!

I don't know if anybody else got this or not but, I get the feeling from this series that we're all ourselves and we're all Divergent. If you got that same realization as I please comment below and give your opinion.

I honestly can't wait for the third book. I'm obsessed with this series along with any others. Did you know that there's a little online store that sells a charm bracelet with all the faction's signs? No? Here's a link in case if your interested, http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/TheMeadow/5909466/reserved_a_divergent_inspired_charm_bracelet_-_silver_-/handmade/jewelry/charm_bracelets/other_metals

So, I am going to give this book, 5 Nerdy Cats (that's a no brainer). Veronica had me on the edge of my seat (or couch) and flailing my arms, waiting for the 3rd book to be publish (publish it ASAP!) The next book I'm going to be reading is Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead. I've been waiting to read this book for months and now, I shall satisfy my Sydrian feels (I must know O_O)

On Fire by Nancy Holder

I managed to read the entire book in 2 days. Call me, le super bookworm reader! *dundunduuuuuuun* I've seen many reviews on Goodreads saying that the book was meh and you won't understand anything if you don't watch the show and bleh.

 

On Fire is a book based from my favorite TV show, Teen Wolf. This book isn't like your usual YA book. I admit, if you never seen the show, you will be a bit confused on some of the characters' looks. But being a fan since season 1 I felt like the book was some hidden episode.

 

The book gives fans a better understanding of what happened in the past. How the things that happened back then lead to the present. I suggest this book for all of those Teen Wolf fans. If your a Teen Wolf fan and haven't read the book, then READ IT! If your not a Teen Wolf fan but consider reading it, I suggest you at least watch season 1 before reading so you can get a better understanding. 

 

I give this book 5 Nerdy Cats because I loved the book. It's as intense as the show which is why I managed to finish reading it in 2 days. The next book I will read and review will be Insurgent. And hopefully, the many questions I have from Divergent will be answered. 

Asunder by Jodi Meadows

Three words I can say about this book. Fighting, sacrifice, and love. This book is amazing. I was wondering if Asunder is the end, but then I just realized I have the third book in my to-read list on Goodreads (dumb brunette moment)

 

This book took me a while to finish reading. No, I didn't have to force myself through the book. I had a hard to resisting on not coloring the roses on each chapter. Guess who won? I'm pretty your freaking out and being like "OH MY GOSH. YOU CAN'T WRITE IN A BOOK! D:" and I will tell you now, I couldn't help it, so now each chapter has a series of colors. Red, pink, purple, and blue. I think I liked the red roses better since I wasn't running out of ink on that pen. I'm going to post the pictures on Twitter (@BookwormMari) and let me know which colored rose you liked. 

 

I really recommend this book, and if you haven't read the first one, then um, READ IT O: For me it was unpredictable because I had so many questions unanswered from the first book. Like, will Ana become a citizen? Will she be reincarnated? Well, all I can say that she isn't a citizen still (not yet hopefully) and in the book, everybody assumes she won't be reincarnated but there's some little hope in my heart that she will.

 

So, it's obvious that I really loved this book, not because I had the opportunity to actually win a book for the first time, but also to get this awesome yarn pompom bookmark from Jodi Meadows herself (my friends loved playing with that bookmark) and she tweeted me so on that day, I was freaking out, speechless, and had a wide grin on my face. 

 

I give this book 5 Nerdy Cats. Not only because the book is super good but because I had a great experience getting it. This is one of the unforgettable moments in my life and I wanna thank Pitch Dark Books and Jodi Meadows for giving me this experience even though I never even tried to win and being the noob in the YA book blogging community.

 

Next book I will be reviewing is On Fire by Nancy Holder. No, it's not a series. It's a book based from my favorite TV show, Teen Wolf, and when I managed to get it I was like O: OMERGERD! After On Fire I will read Insurgent. Speaking of Insurgent, I think I've gotten Hunger Games and Divergent fever. I have the factions from Divergent on my lock wallpaper and a fan art drawing on Katniss on my normal wallpaper on my ipad. And also, I found a charm bracelet online that has the 5 factions. Hopefully I'll be able to get that for my birthday, (along with a Teen Wolf shirt and so many other thing majingies) 

Movie Monday: Beautiful Creatures Book + Movie Review

I can admit one thing. When it comes to this series, some people say read and some say ehh. It depends on you. For me, the book can get really interesting when you first read it. I remembered when I first got it during 6-7th grade at a book fair and everybody gawked at me because I had the guts to read a block-sized book in two weeks. Then it took until 2012 for me to get the rest of the books.

When it comes to this series, you either read or you don't. My friend Sophia said she had to force herself through the series. For me, I easily read it the first time but it got boring after I read it a couple of more times. The first book is about a mortal boy who meets a caster girl who tries to stop her mother. The second book is like eh. I didn't like how Lena acted in the second book. The end of the third book and the beginning of the fourth really pulled my heart strings, and I think I was about to cry during reading.

The movie was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was that they cut so much. They cut out important scenes, personalities, and characters. I felt like they were too busy of wanting to finish this and get over with. But that's just the opinion of somebody who read the series. If you haven't read the books or seen the movie and your wondering if it's worth your money, the answer is yes. For both readers and non-readers, you can't expect most things of the book to happen because its unexpected.

So, I give the series four Nerdy Cats and the movie three Nerdy Cats. I'm glad to finally watch this movie and to finally make this post. It's been so many months since I wanted to get to work on this post.

Also, I think I realized something. Yesterday I was thinking deeply and maybe, when a book is turned into a movie, not only do they want to keep it short but maybe, they want to give the audience some unexpected things. So the people who read the books won't be like "Oh here's the part where so and so kills so and so". I don't know, maybe its my mystical, wondering chiz. :3
