Waiting on Wednesday (37)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. The purpose of the event is to spotlight the upcoming releases that readers are most looking forward to.

This week, I've chosen:
 
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Add it: Goodreads
Publisher: HarperTeen
Format: Hardcover, 525 pages
Release Date: May 1, 2012
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.
MAY 1st. So close yet so far...

I LOVED Divergent and the wait for Insurgent is killing me! I want to read more about Tris and Four and their completely, 100% addicting story. I am trying really, really hard to avoid teasers for this one because I don't want to torture myself even more. This from a girl who used to read the back of the book before the beginning is saying something ;)

Plus, the cover is totally repping Amity which, DUH, is the coolest faction out there.

What are you waiting for this week?

      I would think so too! It was just such an engrossing read and then it's like, "sorry, no more words left, wait a year." D: I guess that's how it generally works with series but still :P

    At least you don't have to wait too too long :)

    Hope you enjoy it as much as Divergent.

    Oh, man I'm totally digging this cover for Insurgent. It gives me a bad feeling in the gut, though. I mean, A DEAD TREE? Doesn't that feel like an omen to anyone but me?

    But I totally understand what you mean. DIVERGENT WAS AN AWESOMESAUCE READ. No lies, yo.

    Woo! Amity, represent! And yeah, fully can't wait until this one is out except it comes out the week I have about three uni assignments due. If I'm completely honest with myself, I know which one will be neglected.

    Ohmygoshohmygosh... I don't think a single person can look at this book and think, "I don't want this!" Insurgent has to be one of my most anticipated books of 2012!! <3 I want more Tris & FOUR too -- and I think Amnity is the coolest faction like you do because, if I had to choose one, I'd definitely go with the peaceful! (I'm definitely not as brave as Tris LOL) x)

    Absolutely PERFECT pick for your WOW this week, Sonia!! <3 If we stare at the calender long enough, maybe time will move faster? ;)

      I seriously have to stop and just blink a few times to make sure I'm reading properly whenever I stumble upon a negative review of Divergent. They're so rare but... it's weird o_O It's one of mine too, for sure!

      OH YEAH, MIMI! Canadian AND Amity? Be my new best friend. Yeah, can you imagine doing half of the things the Dauntless did? I don't think I'd survive 10 seconds.

      It's worth a try.... *desperation*

    I've not read Divergent, and I'm not sure why. But OMG, my sister read it and she's been counting the days. I have to check out Divergent before May 1.

      OMG MESA. This is, like Liz so brilliantly says, a "drop-everything-including-work-and-revision-and-eating-and-drinking-and-sleeping" kind of book. You NEEEEEED to read it! Then we can discuss it and you can wonder how you were so foolish as to have left it this long. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

    OMG. I need this book like I need air. But ugh. I am such an IDIOT. I have been obsessively stalking for any mention, any teaser, any review... and then I found one on Goodreads. A review clearly hidden for "SPOILERS" But I read it, thinking I would read super carefully and turn away when dangerous parts came up. But I didnt *CRIES* And I saw a spoiler and I got angry and I closed the window and now I'm sad :(

    BUT I AM STILL SO EXCITED. AND AMITY/HUFFLEPUFF FTW!

      Understood!

      Awwwwwww! I can't even do the whole 'I told you so' thing :( That really, really sucks. Was it a major spoiler? At least you know that the book will still be awesome when you're reading!

      I like how even though you're not a Hufflepuff anymore (*sobs*) you can still show that Hufflepuff pride. COME HERE... *chases for a hug*

      I've been so good actually... I haven't read ANYthing. I want to be completely surprised when I go to read. Hopefully that, you know, works out LOL.

      Who do you think we need to bribe/kidnap/threaten/trick into getting us Insurgent? :P
