Page Turning Tuesday: Allegiant by Veronica Roth

As I write this review, it has been at least around an hour that I finished reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth. If I had two words to describe this book, it would be, heart and breaking. When I got around to the end, I was close to crying during French class, that's how intense this book was.

Oh, you thought I was going to tell you what happened? AHAHA. No. You need to buy the book, read it, and roll on the floor crying like the rest of us!

Allegiant marks the finale of the Divergent series. Allegiant shows whether civilization will make it or break it, and I cannot tell you ANYTHING.

If you've never heard of Divergent, you can click here to see my Divergent review! If you've been a fan of Divergent for a while, feel free to respond in the comments on your opinion on the book. I may not be able to tell any spoilers, but YOU can *hint hint*

Now that I finally can settle down and re-read Catching Fire before the movie, I'll most likely finish the book in five or six days and start reading another book. OR, I will be spamming you with my Percy Jackson fanfiction until you get tired of it and I start obsessing over a new series (not going to happen in a LOOOONG while)

But I shouldn't stray to other book subjects (super ADD, hello!) Like I said, tell me your opinion on Allegiant. Did you cry? Did you immediately go on Tumblr and cry? Did you roll all over on the floor and cry? You CANNOT tell me you DID NOT CRY. If you didn't cry, then I will slap you with a fish O:
Also, if the world of Divergent was real, which faction would you be in? Do you support the faction system or no? In my opinion, I think I can kick butt being a Dauntless member.

Last but not least, I give this book 5 nerdy cats simply because it almost made me cry during class. You KNOW when a book is good when you want to cry in the middle of a inappropriate atmopshere.
 
Since it's National Novel Writing Month, I am open on recieving any fanfictions on Twitter! Just tweet me the link to your fanfiction on Twitter (@BookwormMari) and I'll be more than happy to retweet or make a personal tweet about it! It must not involve adult or sexual content. And if I have enough time, I'll probably read it!
That's all for this post! I'll see you around! :)

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)

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 :)
