Veronica Roth finally has released the title for the third book in the Divergent series. It shall be called Allegiant!
It will be released on October 22nd, 2013! With the cover reveal coming sometime in May.
The video was released from USA Today this morning! I am SO EXCITED! Click here to read the article!
In the booktube world, PadfootandProngs07, has made some videos of songs that she thinks remind her of certain books. I thought that it was awesome, so I decided to make a blog post of some songs that remind me of certain books. I will post the lyrics that remind me of the certain events in the series or book! Hope you enjoy :)
This song just screams Will/Tessa/Jem to me. I sometimes feel like this song was especially written for this series. Like "love lost believers" reminds me of Will so much.
"Boy with a broken soul, heart with a gapping hole. Dark twisted fantasy, turned to reality. Kissing death, and losing my breath. Midnight hours, cobble street passages, forgotten savages."
"These are hard times, these are hard times for dreamers. And love lost believers."
"My highs hit a new low. Marinate in misery, like a girl of only seventeen. Man made madness, and the romance of sadness. A beautiful dance, that happened by chance."
Beautiful Disaster &Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Still Into You - Paramore
This song pretty much explains Abby and Travis' relationship. Only in a more awesome, less crazy way :)
"You make me feel, make me feel, better. It's not a walk in the park to love eachother. But when our fingers interlock, can't deny, can't deny, you're worth it."
"I should be over all the butterflies, but I'm into you. I'm into you. And baby even on our worst nights, I'm into you, I'm into you. Let 'em wonder how we got this far, cause I don't really need to wonder at all. Yeah after all this time, I'm still into you."
"You felt the weight of the world fall off your shoulder and to your favorite song, we sang along to the start of forever.
LOL, clever right? ;) but I do like the real never let me go song from the movie! But whenever I hear this, I think about Tommy & Kathy.
"No need to pray, no need to speak, and now I am under. Oh, and it's breaking over me, a thousand miles down to the seabed, I found a place to rest my head. Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, never let me go."
"Though the pressure's hard to take. It's the only way I can escape. It seems a heavy choice to make, now I am under."
"Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, delivered me."
Insurgent
by Veronica Roth
Only If For a Night - Florence + The Machine
This song makes me think of Tris and her mother! I don't know, but for some reason it does. Really any song by Florence makes me think of the Divergent series but this song especially makes me think of Insurgent.
"And I had dream about my old school. And she was there all pink and gold and glittery. I threw my arms around her legs (came to weeping, camp to weeping) And I heard your voice, as clear as day, and you told me I should concentrate, it was all so strange and so surrel, that a ghost should be so practical. Only if for a night. And the only soultion was to stand and fight, and my body was brusied and I was set alight."
"And the grass was so green aganist my new clothes, and I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes. My own secret ceremonials before the service began."
Ashton Garrison walked away from a privileged life in order to hide from the one thing she's not willing to face. She knows she left behind a trail of pain, but in the long run, her betrayal will hurt less than the truth. She now has one goal: Live life to the fullest with no regrets and no attachments. She has high hopes that a move to new surroundings will provide the escape she desires, but what Ashton doesn't count on is how fate always seems to find a way to screw up any good plan. Sometimes, when love comes knocking, the pull is too strong not to answer. Suddenly, what she thought she wanted to escape from is what Ashton now wants more than anything.
Nathan Lockton has one mission: find his target and complete the task he was hired to do—no attachments and no emotion necessary. He's done it over and over again. What he thought was a typical lost-and-found job has turned into a life examining moment as Nathan is forced to deal with something he has always ignored--his feelings. Now faced with a decision, Nathan must choose to either follow his heart or complete the job.
Love can come when you least expect it. The question is: If the odds are stacked against you, how far are you willing to go for the one you love?
My thoughts: I saw this randomly on Goodreads one day and thought it sounded really good! I haven't heard much buzz about it yet, but I can't wait to check it out! Have you guys heard of it or plan on reading it?
tick tick tick tick tick it's almost time for war.
Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance. She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch. Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.
In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.
I forgot how much I love this world and these characters! I thought that Shatter Me was wonderful, but Unravel Me completely hits it out of the park. Unravel Me is even better than Shatter Me was. It was a great sequel and middle book in this trilogy. The characters, the plot, and this crazy world had me hooked from the first page. There was actually moments that I was so shocked by that my jaw completely dropped.

I thought that Shatter Me was wonderful, but Unravel Me completely hits it out of the park. Unravel Me is even better than Shatter Me was. It was a great sequel and middle book in this trilogy. The characters, the plot, and this crazy world had me hooked from the first page. There was actually moments that I was so shocked by that my jaw completely dropped. I usually can predict upcoming events, but this book just surprised me again and again until the last page.
Unravel Me starts out at Omega Point and two weeks have passed since the ending events of Shatter Me. We found out more details about Kenji, and why exactly Adam and Warner can both touch Juliette. It had been awhile since I have read Shatter Me, but it didn't take any time at all for all those memories to come rushing back to me as entered Juliette's world! Juliette still has some character development ahead of her, but we see her becoming so strong throughout this whole book but it isn't until the very end that she starts to realize her full potential. We also get to see a lot more of Warner and find out some details about his past. I am so happy that I read Destroy Me before this, because I had a little more insight on Warner's character.
For the record, I am totally team Warner. I have been since the first book and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon. I don't hate Adam, I actually really like him with Juliette and if he does end up with Juliette in the end then I am not going to be upset or disappointment. There is just something about Warner that I just love so much. He gets so vulnerable around Juliette and also how awful his father is to him. It is not wonder that he is so messed up, but still that is no excuse for his actions. I think towards the end, he does get some redeeming qualities but he has a long road ahead of him.
There was only one character that I didn't like in this book and that was Castle. He just irritated me to no end! I couldn't stand him! He did have the best intentions for everyone, but I felt like he would come off rude and absurd to Juliette and especially Adam. Other than him, I thought all the other characters were excellent! Well, except for Warner's dad of course.
Overall, I recommend that everyone go pick up this series if you haven't already! It is one of my favorite series and Unravel Me is no doubt one of my favorite reads of 2013. I can't believe the ending page! I seriously turned the page, and when I saw that it was over; I let out a loud gasp! How can Tahereh Mafi just end it like that?! I must know what happens! It will be a long wait for the next book, which I can tell you, I will be purchasing on the day it comes out!

I bought one book for my Kindle Fire this week. It was on sale one day for $1.99, so I thought that I would go ahead and pick it up. I haven't heard so many mixed reviews over this but I can't wait to read it for myself. After all, I never get tired of vampire stories no matter how much I read of them.
