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!

Starbucks Sunday: Miss Literati: Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler

Hudson Avery’s dreams of becoming a renowned ice skater are shattered the day her parents split up. Deciding to move on with her life and leave behind the dream that was so closely tied to her father, Hudson begins working in her mom’s diner, baking amazingly decadent cupcakes.

Now, three years later, 16-year-old Hudson has turned her job into a lifestyle, spending countless hours helping her mom keep the diner afloat. When Hudson learns there’s an ice skating competition offering a full scholarship to its winner, she considers taking her skates out of retirement. After all, a scholarship could be her only ticket out of Watonka, NY.

One night while out on the ice, Hudson bumps into (literally) Josh, an uber cute hockey player that is totally swoon-worthy. From there she gets roped into helping out his team, which hasn’t won a game in ten years.

And the drama pursues. Love triangles. Betrayal. Disappointment. Tears. Laughter. It’s all there! But more importantly, there are apologies, self-discovery, and important life lessons.

We fell in love with this book for a multitude of reasons. For one, Hudson is a flawed character. She’s selfish at times, tends to take the people in her life for granted, and some of her decisions left us wide-eyed and baffled. But what made her so admirable was her development over time. Her self-discovery and evolvement was character development at its finest.

Series Saturday: Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

I know this is series review is super late but I don't want to wait until Feburary to start blogging. So if there's any bookworms interested in reading the series or you just love it like I do. Honestly, I didn't start out the series with the first book, Vampire Academy, I started out with Last Sacrifice, the last book.

I won't reveal any spoilers for anybody who wants to read the series. The series is basically a dhampir (part human part vampire), Rose Hathaway, on her adventures to become a Guardian to protect her Moroi (good vampire) Princess BFF Valisia Dragonmir. Throughout the series Rose starts falling in love with the sexy dhampir instructor Dimitri Belikov and runs into trouble with a trusted friend that turns into a foe, faces drama and Strigoi (evil vampires), gets caught in a love triangle between Dimitri and Adrian Ivashkov (Moroi prince), and gets accused of murder. But in the end of the series, everything is solved and fans are bawling their eyes out. But have no fear! Bloodlines is here! Bloodlines is the sequel to Vampire Academy.

So why should you read this book? It's sexy, dramatic, and addicting. Richelle Mead never failed us at Vampire Academy and she hasn't with Bloodlines. I recently suggested my friend to read the series and she LOVES it. So I give this series, 5 out 5 Nerdy Cats!
