Book Review- Allegiant (Divergent #3)




Name: 
Allegiant

Author: Veronica Roth
Genre: Young-Adult, Dystopian
Publication Date: 22nd October 2013
Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
Synopsis: "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' new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths to comprehend the complexities of human nature- and of herself- while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love.

Some blog related Information

Hey guys.
So, I got bored and decided to try out 'Wordpress' again.
For those of you who don't know, I actually started blogging on wordpress, but quickly changed to blogger because I wanted a change.

I won't be deleting or abandoning this blog.
I want to try out wordpress for a bit, just to see how I do on there.
I'll mainly only be posting book reviews, but I may post wrap ups and other things on there that are almost identical to what is posted on this blog.
This blog is my priority, Wordpress is a test.
I want to see what blogging platform is better, and by knowing that, I need to have a blog on each that gets almost regular content.
The only post I have on there at this particular moment is a review for Divergent.
If you do look at that post, it is nearly IDENTICAL to the one on this blog. I think by using wordpress, I could see how my blog does when it's easier to get followers and search things by tags, if you get what I mean?

This blog is always going to be what I post my reviews, hauls, wrap ups and other stuff on first. That will never change. In all honesty, it's likely I just abandon the Wordpress blog again because I prefer blogger, but this blog is never getting abandoned.

If you want to see the blog, link is HERE

Bye guys

Just some information

Hey guys, I have some news for you.

Basically, blogging regularly will be difficult for a while for multiple reasons.

School is a big thing, I have many tests coming up which is affecting not only my reading but time to think of things. I only really get the weekend to relax and that is pretty much my reading time and social time. I have different tests coming up, some important, some not really that important but I still need to do well in them if I want to be able to stay in my current group or even move up back to my old group. I also have actual GCSE related exams and coursework to do, including a French writing exam which contributes to 60% of my GCSE in French and English Language and English Literature coursework involving analysing classics and recording conversations to study the way people talk around others and actually doing some creative writing. Year 10 is a busy year, you have to make sure most/all coursework is done to leave plenty of time for preparing for our actual GCSE's which will be at the end of year 11 (in just over a year). It's a stressful time and I'm going through my own personal things at the same time.

Another thing is, I find it difficult to think of what to post and make sure it's scheduled for Monday and Thursday. Book Reviews, Wrap Up's, Hauls and other sorts of reviews are all I really do, and I need to have new things and be able to read things for those to happen.

I'll try and post as often as I can but it won't be easy.
I hope you understand.

Have a great day guys.
Bye.

Book Review- Divergent (Divergent #1)




Name:
Divergent

Author: Veronica Roth
Genre: Young-Adult, Dystopian
Publication Date: 2nd February 2012
Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
Synopsis: "In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the live she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves...or it light destroy her.

Wish List- Rings


Hey guys, I just decided to post a wish list of rings I really want to buy.
I guess this post is more for my own sake than for anyone else, but maybe some of you guys will like some of these rings too and might want to purchase them. (The links will be on the name of the website that it is on)

Well, here we go!

Book Haul- February 2014


Hey guys, February seems to have been the month where I have accumulated many books, more than usual I think.
For some reason I seemed to have more money than usual this month and no special occasions to buy gifts for, so I obviously was happy to have purchased more books.

I managed to somehow get 11 books. (wow, I did not know it was actually that many!)
I am seriously running out of space on my bookshelves. I'm having to double stack things and it's all messy and horrible but I'm going to have to deal with it for a while.
