Divergent Trilogy-Veronica Roth-Young Adult Dystopian

So I knew I had to write today since I haven't in a while, and I'm trying to think of which book or series I should reflect upon. My brain goes totally blank, and I can't even remember the books I've read, only the ones I've done other posts for. So being the lazy person I am and not wanting to go all the way to my room I look up a picture on my phone of my bookshelf, which is like a couple months old so I don't have all the books on there I have now, but then I see the Divergent trilogy and realize I  haven't reflected at all on those, and that's a very big trilogy right now. 

So to start out, I know that people refuse to read this book because it's too much like the Hunger Games, and honestly, it really isn't. And having read both trilogies, which are fantastic by the way, they really aren't all that much alike. Totally different plot, way different plot twist, and the over all dystopian world that is created in these books are very much different. And the reason why people think they are too much alike is because it's a dystopian world, the main character is a teenage girl, and the faction/districts. I have read many dystopian books with these districts or factions or however you want to call them. The reason for the separation between certain types of people is also very different from each other. 

So what I would like to start out with is that if you don't even know what Divergent is you must be living under a rock, because everyone knows what Divergent is. The Divergent movie, which I was so worried for because the trailers really didn't do it for me was fantastic. It was very close to being spot on with just a few things here and there that had to be changed, and I didn't at all mind the changes. The Insurgent trailer was absolutely epic. I loved it so much, it got my adrenaline pumping and I was so very happy with it, so if you haven't seen that I suggest you go and look at it, but if you haven't finished the first book or haven't seen the movies than I suggest don't because I feel like it might give to much away. But I do, like every book to movie adaptation, highly suggest that you read the books first because nothing is better than the books themselves, and I cannot stand it when people see the movie first and then think that they're going to read the books after or not at all. I rather you not read the book after you see the movie because it just ruins the entire experience. I think I will make a post just on that later on, actually. 

So in conclusion please read this trilogy I thought they were fantastic for the most part. My least favorite was probably Allegient and not for the reason people would think who have already read the books. I just thought it was very serious and very dark, which is understandable because of the position the characters were in at the time, but there was some drama in there that I thought was unneeded, but that shouldn't discourage you not to read the books. 

So please leave your comments below and I will hopefully get another post up soon!  

The Selection Trilogy-Kiera Cass-Dystopian

I'm not sure how to put my thoughts into words just yet but I do know that I can start with what this trilogy is about.

So in the first book, The Selection, we learn that there is no America, and instead a whole new country that has taken place of the USA. So our main character whose name is America Singer lives in this Dystopian world, but there isn't much really high tech stuff or the government trying to take over or whatever. It's more like modern time with a little bit more. And  kind of like The Hunger Games, they have these things called Castes. The higher the number of the cast the more poor and helpless you were. America lives in the Fifth Castes and she is put up for this contest called The Selection. The Selection comes around when a royal is born and when they are eighteen they will choose thirty five girls or boys from each Caste. So when the prince becomes of age America wants nothing to do with him. This is because of her boyfriend back home, Aspen, who loves her deeply. But when complications arrive and America is chosen for the Selection, a wild love triangle appears. She must choose who she loves most, know her past and her own future.

This trilogy was very good. It shows a lot of character development, and I have heard stories of this trilogy going into a movie. There were some funny parts in the books especially when she first meets the prince. I do suggest you read this because it was a good trilogy. Though it wasn't my favorite book series in the world I did enjoy reading them.

Thank you for reading this. Sorry if it sounds bad or anything it's like three in the morning and I realized that I haven't done a post in a while so yeah. Please leave your comments below and I will write again soon!

Paper Towns-John Green-Young Adult Contemporary

Oh my goodness, how I just love John Green. He is one of my favorite authors. Now I know a lot of people who like John Green too, but they've only read The Fault In Our Stars. And that's how they see John Green, the author of The Fault In Our Stars. And I don't see him that way. I see him as John Green, the author of The Fault In Our Stars, Paper Towns, Looking For Alaska, An Abundance Of Katherines, etc. Not only is he my favorite contemporary read but he is also one of my favorite authors of all time. I went into this book not really knowing much about it, and this is one of the books where I think you need to be a little more of a mature reader to read this. This is going to be a movie next year with Nat Wolff who also played Isaac in The Fault In Our Stars. I am so excited for this, I just know it is going to be fantastic. This book had me laughing out loud so many times and I just don't know how I'm going to survive in the movie theater. This book is nothing like TFIOS. If you liked or didn't like TFIOS I don't care. Just read this book. It's as simple as that. This was not a saddening book where you had tears just pooling out of your eyes. Like when I finished TFIOS I locked myself in my room and just ate so much junk food. I was a complete mess. But Paper Towns is so much different. The ending was a little sad, but coming from a girl who is deeply emotional to anything, I only had watery eyes, but no tears.

So to conclude this I suggest you read this book. I don't care what you're doing, just stop and buy this book because it is great. Both genders will love I think. John Green always pleases me and I really love his writing style. How he really involves all of the characers somehow and they each have their own little back story. John Green is definitely on my list of authors to meet, so hopefully I can get that pleasure and meet him.

Thank you so much for reading, please leave your comments below and I will get back to them. Have a wonderful day and I will hopefully write again soon! 

The Darkest Minds Trilogy-Alexandra Bracken-Young Adult Post-Apoctolyptic

Alright guys, this is my absolute favorite trilogy in the entire universe. I love nothing more than these books. Alexandra Bracken if you are reading this (And I doubt you are) I love you! You are just amazing and I love your books and just Oh My God. I love these. 

So the first book in this amazing thriller dystopian survival story we follow sixteen year old Ruby Daly. When she was ten a horrendous illness struck America, killing off 98% of the children. The remaining 2% were taken to camps after developing special powers. This illness gave these children supernatural powers. Once they were taken to these concentration camps their names were taken away and they were known by the colors in which their supernatural ability is. There is Blue: Telekinesis. Green: Crazy smart. Yellow: Control electricity. Red: Control fire, can get very angry. Orange: Very rare. They can look into your mind and change your thoughts and emotions and make you do things. Ruby finds out that she is an Orange, after erasing her parents memories. Oranges are either killed right away, or taken to a secure area of the camp and kept there until they die. Ruby gets by though by saying she is a Green. Six years in Thurmond, and Ruby is taken to the infirmary after she faints. A nurse there, acting peculiar ends up breaking her out of Thurmond along with another kid, a boy her age named Marvin who is also and Orange in hiding. The nurse, Cate, is part of a League that breaks out these children and trains them to become sort of like secret agents. 

Ruby starts to get a bad feeling about Cate. When they stop at a gas station Ruby makes a run for it after finding a child in the gas station and running after her. Along the way, Ruby finds the girl, Zu, and two boys her age, Chubs and Liam who have recently broken out of another concentration camp and are on the run. 

I don't want to give to much away, but you have to read this trilogy. You just have to. The writing is fantastic and you meet so many great characters along the way and adventure. I just kept on turning the pages and turning and turning. These books were definitely filled with tears. I don't reread books. At all. But I have reread this entire series a couple of time and the last book only came out like two months ago. I just love it so much. And because I was with this trilogy from the start, the books are really apart of me, and I love the characters so much. So there you have it. PLEASE READ!    

Popularity

Though most of my posts will be focusing on books and everything, I would like to take time to write about things that are just about everyday life. Just my everyday problems, thoughts, experiences, etc. This post will focus on popularity.
I am in my seventh grade. Our school has major cliques. Jocks, burn-outs, super smart kids, musicians, etc. I personally think that my so called "clique" is the Random clique. I kind of fit in with everything. Music, I play the clarinet and listen to music all the time. Sports: I play volleyball and dance and I don't mind working out with friends. Does reading a book count as a sport? Yes, it does. I'm not super smart, but I have fairly good grades, and like every single one of my friends is like unbelievably smart. So all of my friends are kind of part of their own cliques, but I kind of have one of each. Most of my friends are girls. I wouldn't mind having any guy friends, and there are a lot of really cool guys in my school in my grade, but it's not like I go up to them and am like: "Hey, lets be friends!" Creepy....But I'm also not like the girls that snapchat or talk anytime they can with the guys they like. Like, if I were a guy and some chic was like obsessed with me and always wanted to talk with me, I would be flattered at first, but it would probably get annoying. Like it would be two o clock in the morning and she would be like "Hey, what are you doin'?" I don't know, helping a cow give birth?!? If you ask a stupid question you are going to get a stupid answer.
Alright, that concludes that. Thanks for reading, have a lovely day. BYE!
