Waiting on Wednesday: Allegiant

Hey mis amigos!

So since I've talked about House of Hades a great deal, I decided to talk about one of the other books I cannot wait to have on my Kindle. Yes, you guessed it, Allegiant by Veronica Roth.

Title: Allegiant

Cover: I was very excited when I saw this cover. It was unexpected and non descriptive. It still leaves us guessing. 

Author: Veronica Roth

Genre: Dystopian, YA, Romance

Goodreads Blurb: One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

Published/ing: October 22, 2013 Kathrine Tegen Books

Page Count: 544

Rating: IDK BUT I BET IT'LL BE 5/5

Review: 

So from what I've gathered so far, I think we are going to get the full throttle. We'll get to see what's outside of the gates. What's happened to the rest of the world. And we'll see Tris and Four. Their relationship fully flourish. 

I am extremely excited. 

Future News: 

Well, this is a futuristic post. But the Divergent movie itself will be out in March, so another thing to just get freaking excited for. 

That's it for this post. I'll see you guys on the flip side.

8/15/2013: Looking Forward, Kathrine, and Gatsby

HAPPY THURSDAY!

I have many thing to go over today, but first I'll discuss countdown dates!

First off, Rick Riordan's House of Hades comes out on October 8th, which is in 53 days. This book is the fourth installation in the Heroes of Olympus series and will hopefully resolve last falls tragic cliff hanger. Rick has said there to be tartarus Percabeth scenes, and this book has been critically viewed to be the Percabeth Book that fans have been waiting for. Rick has announced tour dates, and I would get them while they're hot! He is turning into quite the J.K Rowling icon, according to the signing I attended three years ago. Here is the list of locations:

For your information, I will be attending the St.Louis Public Library Event, so if you see someone wearing a Camp Half-Blood shirt that's me! Hmm... that might be a little vague... I will probably have some way of advertising my user in the public, but for now, I suggest you come (ONCE IN A LIFE TIME PEOPLE I SWEAR HE'LL GO INTO HIDING LIKE ROWLING!)

The second thing we are patiently (not) awaiting is Veronica Roth's Alliegant. This is aimed to come out on October 22nd, which is in 67 days. We have a good wait ahead of us. It is to be told in not only Tris's point of view, but Four's (ohmygods yes). It is going to be the stunning conclusion to the Divergent trilogy. All I've heard is that we will get to see the other side of the famous fence! Time to get excited my friends!

Other Events to look forward to:

Catching Fire: November 22nd, 2013: 98 days
The Maze Runner Movie: February 28, 2014: 196 days
The Divergent Movie: March 13, 2013: 209 days

ON ANOTHER NOTE THOUGH~

I did finish rereading the original Percy Jackson series, and instead of reviewing it on here (because that would take forever) you can read them here. Let's just say it was amazing as always. Absolutely brilliant.

I DID read An Abundance of Kathrines by John Green. 

I have to say it was an amazing book. We take a nerdy, obsessive, child prodigy, Colin, who got dumper by his nineteenth Kathrine. Yes Kathrine. He has dated nineteen girls with the name K-A-T-H-R-I-N-E. He takes this one pretty hard, so his chubby and Judge Judy obsessed friend, Hassan, takes him on a Road Trip. They take an exit that leads them to Gutshot, Tennessee. And this exit changes their lives. We watch character's develop and crash and burn. We read determination and love and heartbreak. We see sides of people we never thought we'd see.

Another thing that really grasped my heart and got me into this book was the math (don't freak out). Colin, within the development of the book, creates a Theorem, trying to predict relationships, and help you figure them out through equations.

It was a spectacular book and I was hooked right off the back. Honestly, John Green has never failed at capturing my heart, even reading his zombie novels (which are free here).  I suggest you read all his books.

That's it for this Thursday guys! See you after I start school and read Looking For Alaska!

Dearest,

Free Four: The Transfer, The Initiate, The Son, The Traitor.

A new update from Veronica Roth tells us that there will be more FOUR POINT OF VIEW BOOKS!

Now if you haven't read the first one, I suggest you do. It is thirteen pages of Tobias's point of view from the knife throwing. What was going through his head as he threw knives at his future love interest?

The name of the book is Free Four and it is exceptional.

BUT NOW THERE"S MORE!

There will be four books over the fall and winter months. They will each tell a slightly longer story of our beloved Four.

The books are:

The Transfer coming out September 24th.
The Initiate coming out December 17th.
The Son coming out January 21st.
The Traitor coming out February 11th.


Can't wait to see these books come out with Allegiant coming out this fall too!

Have a good summer!

Amor Deliria Nervosa and Knives!

Hey guys! If you haven't heard already, WE GOT THE FIRST STILL FOR DIVERGENT! I believe it is the scene where Four throws knives at Tris, since she took the place of Al. Here is a LINK to the article. Also the picture:

Do you recognize the style? It's okay if you don't! The creater of this long awaited picture was taken by none other than the magnificent Jaap Buitendijk. He took all the stills for the Harry Potter movies including this one:


ON THE OTHER SIDE of the Spectrum (not really) we have blog posts from Ms. Lauren Oliver, that I really enjoyed, like:

I can't wait to meet her and have her sign my book this coming Tuesday! I love you Lauren!
