Book Haul!

So I went to the book store today just to "look around" which lets be honest, it always means I will be walking out with something to read. So I got 3 new books that I am really excited about!


1. Starting with the book on top is The Fault In Our Stars by John Green! I love this book so much! I have already read it and it is one of my favorite books! I have this book on my kindle but when I find a book I love, I have to own an actual book of it! I know I am not the only one that does this, I mean come on be honest ereader people! There is nothing like an actual copy of a book you know you love! I would totally recommend this book to anyone who loves YA that doesn't mind a book that makes you cry in some parts, and laugh hysterically the next.
See my review on The Fault In Our Stars HERE!

2. Now the book on the bottom left is The Diviners by Libba Bray. I have not actually read this book but I have heard quite a few good things about it. Plus it is set in the 1920's which I think is so fun! I love movies and books that take place in this era! It is one of my favorite time periods! I am super excited to read this and will put up a review when I have time to finish it!

3. On the bottom right is Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans. Once again this is a book I have not read, but also a book I have heard absolutely no complaints about! This one sounds like such a fun and intense book! I can't wait to read it and will let you know what I think as soon as I am done with it!

This is the third book in Ally Condie's Matched series. It is about a world where everything is chosen for you, your home, your job, even your husband or wife. Would you go against society to be with the one that you love?

Divergent series complete

I have finished Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth! I have to say it is one of the best series i have ever read! It reminds me a lot of Hunger Games! With epic battles and longed for romances with drama all combined into one! I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes dystopian novels!!

I give this series:
  
Out of 5 thumbs up!


Description of Divergent:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Description of Insurgent (SPOILER ALERT FOR DIVERGENT):
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.


If you have read these series, which faction would you choose?
