Review of Divergent by Veronica Roth

Image
Divergent by: Veronica Roth   If you are careful about what you read then my ultimate advice to you about this book is.... Don't read it. It's really hard to write a review on something that you just don't recommend, but I shall try my hardest. In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, 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 alongside her fellow initiates to live ou...

Book review: Unspoken by Dee Henderson

 Unspoken     by:Dee Henderson Charlotte Graham is at the center of the most famous kidnapping in Chicago history. The task force of Fbi and local cops found her two abductors, killed them, rescued her, but it took four very long years. The fact she was found less than three miles from her home, had been there the entire time, haunts them. She's changed her identity, found a profession she loves, and rebuilt her life. She's never said a word--to the cops, to her doctors, to family--about those four years. A family legacy has brought her back to Chicago where a reporter is writing a book about the kidnapping. The cops who worked the case are cooperating with him. Her options are limited: Hope the reporter doesn't find the full truth, or break her silence about what happened. And her silence is what has protected her family for years. Bryce Bishop doesn't know her past, he only knows she has coins to sell from her grandfather's estate--and that th...

So if you read my first post you can probably guess why I'm having a giveaway. But if you haven't read it here are my main two reasons. I want to give a christian perceptive on books. Not just the ones written by Christians that you already know are clean for the most part. But books like The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner. I really want to be a blessing to people and I can't do that if I don't have any followers!      2. I found a great website for book lovers and I want to join it, but, you have to have 30 followers to join. So here I am! I'm going to be giving away two ebook copys of some of my favorite books! The first being: Annabeth's War   With King Harold away at war Lord Raburn has his eye on the throne. Those who dare to stand in his way fall beneath his power. All but one. A girl named Annabeth. Can a common, ordinary girl, with love for king, country, and her father, achieve the impossible? Trained by her father, a mas...

Welcome!!!

Welcome fellow book lovers!! Thanks for stopping by, let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Hope I'm 18 years old, I have 8 siblings, I've been Homeschooled all my life, I'm a christian, I love reading books and going with my older brother and younger sister to the movies!  I didn't always love reading. When my Mom was first teaching me to read I hated it! And I mean hated! Mom would fight me for hours, telling me how wonderful books were and that I would love it... But to no avail. We fought everyday until a friend told my Mom to let me be, and when I wanted to read I would just start by myself.  I would like to say thanks to that friend!!! I began to read sometime after that and fell in love with it! I couldn't tell you the very first book that I read, but, My first series was the Junie B. Jones series, I could still quote you the beginning of the books! (since they all started the same way!)  But to this day I love reading... Which is 1 of th...
