Trailer Thursday ~ Insurgent


I can't even begin to express how excited I am for Insurgent to come out!  I DEVOURED Divergent in one night/day after picking it up because the cover looked cool and I liked the summary.  Of course I wasn't big into blogging yet so I hadn't heard all the buzz about it, but have been working hard getting students at my school and fellow teachers to read it.  The Verdict so far: THEY LOVE IT!


So I'll stop rambling and share the book trailer for Insurgent with you for this week's Trailer Thursday:

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine where you can share a book that you are anxiously waiting to be released.






This week I'm anxiously waiting (with the rest of the Divergent fans) for INSURGENT! I devoured Divergent one weekend last May and have been anxiously waiting to see what happens next.  I'm working on building anticipation for Insurgent with my students as I have been getting them to finally pick up Divergent.  

Have you seen the latest teaser on Divergent's Facebook page:

Summary (Goodreads):
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.
