Book Review: Insurgent

First of all, INCREDIBLE book! Insurgent is the second book in the "Divergent" Series/Trilogy... Thing. I have no idea if it's going to be a series or trilogy. This book picks up right after the fight between Dauntless and Abnegation, though the Dauntless were under a simulation so technically it is a fight between the Erudite and Abnegation. Tris and Tobias and the gang that survived the attack (Uriah! WOOT WOOT!) are all currently residing in Amity H.Q. So that's how the book is begun. There ya go. *SPOILERS AHEAD*
 I think this book was great because you had NO idea what was going to happen. Like. At. All. I was praying the entire time that my favorite characters (Tris, Tobias, Uriah and Lynn.) were going to survive. There was so much action, and so much was learned about Tobias' past it just killed me. The Candor truth serum scene? OH. MY. FACTIONS. Amazingly done and amazingly written. I also loved how the new characters that were introduced (Hector/Hec, Evelyn, etc.) never once left your mind. Everyone, even the tiniest characters had so much importance! And woah. Tris' giving herself up to Jeanine/Erudite H.Q. was amazing. Tobias following her? Giving himself up to save her? AHHH!!! TO. MANY. FEELS. When she was in the simulation where she was strapped down onto the table and was watching Tobias kill himself to give her up even though he was still alive and watching her flipping out outside of the simulation? Wow. I give a trillion gold stars to Veronica Roth. I cannot wait for the next book and I'm sooo happy I convinced myself to read this book.

Do I suggest this book? Uh. Duh. Well, only if you've read Divergent.

Sherlock and More!

Recently I have had quite a bit of stuff going on! So I FINALLY have something to blog about!!

First: I turned thirteen!! Yay! I am officially a teenager!.. Not sure how I feel about that. Moving on.

Second: I have decided to turn this blog into a mainly writing and reading blog. It will drive me to do more writing and such. Also, I will start doing book reviews on here so that way I can have a place to EXPLODE when Rick Riordan releases Mark of Athena and I read it in three or four hours. NICO. COME BACK TO MEEEE!!!! Ehem. Excuse me.

Third: Sound of Music is starting on Monday!! Which means I get to see a bunch of people I LOOOVE for about two months nearly everyday!!! YAYYYY!!!!!!

Fourth: This blog post has to be about something, so here is the actual post:

Sherlock!

YAAAYYYY SHERLOCK!!! Booo Netflix >:(
Recently I have become interested in a show called: Sherlock!!! (See left)
Sherlock is basically a modernized version of Sir Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. the actors though! I think they are amazing (Martin Freeman!? NEW BILBO BAGGINS?!! Uh. Yes please.) and I find it frightening that I think a 36 year old British man is gorgeous. hehe. Excuse my fangirl. Benedict Cumberbatch! (Sherlock Holmes) YAYYYY!!! I have seen the first three episodes and dumb Netflix refuses to give me any more. >:( Any advice? Comment below!


Stay Lovely!
