DIVERGENT
veronica roth
In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.
c.j.'s thoughts
I kept seeing this and stupidly, I didn't read it when it came out. "Too much like the Hunger Games," I thought. "I'm a silly grad student with too many papers to write and I don't have time for fun," I thought. Clearly I thought wrong, because everything I hear about this book is good. And, okay, the clincher? It's set in Chicago. I have an overwhelming soft spot for anything set in, referring to, or remotely related to Chicago. So as soon as I get a copy, I will be devouring it! 
I really enjoyed this book. In the same line as the Hunger Games, but I liked it better. I highly recommend it!

That's the goal...as soon as I get some extra cash.
DeleteI keep on seeing this book everywhere! It's like it is tormenting me... I think that I will wait until the final book comes out and then buy the whole trilogy at once so i don't have to wait for sequels :)Hope you get to read it soon! :)
ReplyDeleteHa, I know the exact feeling! I'm not sure if I'm patient enough to wait for book three. Although, my wallet might give me patience...
DeleteI keep seeing this one around the blogosphere, but still haven't read it so don't feel too bad! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThis was on my wishlist wednesday post two weeks ago. I thought the same as you at first but after reading reviews and looking into it more I decided it looks good enough to buy and read! Hope you get your hands on it soon :)

Thanks, me too!
DeleteDefinitely check your library. I need to read it again, too. I read it the first time and thought, "Meh." But I remember it fondly, which usually means it deserves a second look. I hope it blows your socks off when you read it!

I really should. I don't have a library card here yet, but I guess they're not hard to acquire. Maybe the second reading will bring some other facets. Thanks!
DeleteI love this book! If I still had my extra copy I would send it to you... Sadly, I let someone borrow it and they never gave it back. :(
ReplyDeleteAw, I hate when that happens! I very much appreciate the thought, though. (:
DeleteBeing a Chicagoan I'm the same way. Love anything that set in Chicago or the burbs. I have it on my shelf, signed but I haven't read it yet. Crazy I know.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, it just makes it so much better! I guess it's just cool to read about a place you know and love so well. WOW. You have strong willpower!
DeleteWow! Divergent is awesome! Of course, I highly recommend you always make time for fun! Love your blog too. New follower here!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm so glad you enjoy it.
Deletegreat wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving reading all of these blogs. I've actually linked to the free book (it's my own and my wish is that oneday I will have something published but atm I'm just writing for fun not profit)
Anyway if you get time and feel like a YA fantasy read follow my link :)
Cheers
