Waiting On Wednesday (12): Insurgent by Veronica Roth

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Insurgent (Divergent #2)

Author: Veronica Roth

Publisher: HarperTeen (HarperCollins)

Pages: 525

ISBN: 9780007442911

Release Date: May 1, 2012

Description:
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.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

Why I'm excited: Umm... I feel like I'd be crazy NOT to be super excited for this book. I finished Divergent recently (a review will be posted in the next couple weeks) and since I closed that book I've wanted to get my hands on Insurgent. Or, you know, re-read Divergent until I memorize it (which, is totally still a possibility. I think this will definitely be a series that I read over and over again).

Order from:      Amazon       Barnes & Noble       Book Depository

What are you look forward to?

Divergent Nation: I am #TeamAmity

Team Amity

This is my official declaration that I have chosen Team Amity in the Insurgent promotions going on. I just finished reading Divergent (and will feature a review in a few weeks) and I am still not sure what faction I would choose in real life. I would like to have all of the characteristics of each faction, but I know I would definitely not cut is as a Candor or Abnegation. I am too selfish and I lie too much. Dauntless sounds interesting, but I don't know how I'd hold up during their initiation either, it seems rough. Erudite and Amity are a close tie with me as far as which one I'd most likely go with. But for the purposes of the Insurgent promotions I have pledged my allegiance to Amity, The Peaceful.

I took the faction quiz on Facebook (again, because I forgot my results), and ended up with Amity as my result, so I guess I have chosen correctly!




I so can't wait until May for Insurgent! I'm off to pre-order it now so that #DivergentNation can unlock an exclusive scene written from Four's point of view!
