MAJOR UPDATE

Hey all...


News flash: THIS HAS TO DO WITH BOOK RELEASES, AND IS AMAZING. 

Not only will book 3 of the Divergent trilogy be released on October 22, 2013, but

 so will The Retribution of Mara Dyer. 

NO. FREAKING WAY. 

--------------------

I swear to Hades, if I don't get my paws on both on the same day, I will freaking die.

--------------------

Also, Michelle Hodkin has declared that there will be no advance copies of Retribution. 

WHAAAAA--?

-Cam-

252 days left & counting!

Veronica Roth--author of the Divergent Trilogy--released the book sell date, as well as part of the cover, yesterday. It's so cool!

Holidays and Rant Days

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
A bored and book-starved Cam
Rumbled about.

"I have no good reads!" she shouted in anguish,
grabbing her jacket and boots in a spree,
Heading to Anderson's,
And adoring their tree.

Cam found a shelf
And rooted herself there,
As a trio of people
Walked in and browsed their ware.

She hunched over novels,
Iron King, City of Bones,
When along came a hand,
Grabbing a book next to hers and saying, in a not-so-cheery-tone,

"I knew the author, we were classmates,"

Cam slowly glanced over,
At the book in a trio-members' hand,
Seeing a familiar flame,
Surrounded by a band.

The book was ornate,
As every book should be,
But there was something special about this book...

How Divergent could it be?



------

So, long story short, I went to Anderson's and was shopping for new blogging books, when in walked a group of people. They walked over to where I was, and I thought they were going to be all like, "EHRMAHGERD! IT'S CAM! SHE AND HER BEST FRIEND RUN A BLOG!" *faints*

No. They were more like,

*completely ignores the girl--me--next to them, and reaches for a copy of Divergent* "I knew the author. We went to high school together."


That made me almost melt on the inside! As weird as it was...then, I hardened up, when one of them asked, "Is it any good?"


>:|

"It's like Hunger Games. I think. Well, they're making it into a movie."
^^First lady's reply (Not like the POTUS' first lady, but...you know what I mean.)

I really wanted to yell:

"IT'S SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME! I DISCOVERED THAT BOOK HERE! WITHIN THE MONTH IT CAME OUT! AND CHOSE IT OVER LEGEND, SINCE I HAD A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDS!"

I don't know why I chose it over Legend. Something compelled me to read it before anyone else...so I did. Now, everyone's buzzing about Divergent, and I'm all like, "Psssht. I read Divergent, like, last year."

I can't say that, however, without sounding like a crazed Directioner: "I WATCHED THEM ON X-FACTOR! I NOW KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM! I WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING!"

(^If they ever read this: I bet you are great guys. But I'm not into all of the hype--technically, I should be the one starting it.)



Happy Holidays, from our virtual home to your--hopefully--real one,

Cam
(and Perri, I guess. •<:D)

Goodreads Choice!

Hey everyone!

This past month, Goodreads has been doing their annual 'Goodreads Choice Awards'. These awards are the best books in certain categories, and they receive instant fame and bragging rights!!

That sounds like a pretty good reason to start finding a publishing company that will publish my stories...

Anyway...

Veronica Roth has a lot to brag about: not only did her hit sequel to Divergent (respectively titled Insurgent) win her 'Best by a Goodreads author' (meaning that the author has a profile on Goodreads: Cassandra Clare was also up for grabs on that one), but also the 'Best Young Adult Fantasy' award! Good job Veronica!

While we're still in the YA genre, The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, won 'Best Young Adult Fiction'! Awesome! I am yet to read this...I hear from Eliz--my sources that it may make me cry. Darn.

Also, Rick Rioridan won the 'Best Middle Grade and Children's'! His newest book, The Mark of Athena, won that for him.

And, to make myself feel warm, fuzzy, and gory, all at the same time: 'Best Graphic Novel or Comic' was won by The Walking Dead, Vol. something-or-other. Good job, Daryl and Rick. You make me feel happy to be catching up on season 1.


Hopefully I'll finish season 1 by the time the world will (not) end.

Roadtrippin!

So. Here we are again, doing one of my FAAAAVORITE things in the world.

Taking a road trip.

This time, it's 7 glorious hours to Ohio. Don't get me wrong, I love Ohio, but I don't like seeing field after field after FIELD after F. I. E. L. D.

On that high note, I'm bringing books with me. Yay! Which books, you're probably not asking?

-Fearless and Sam(Author...I forgot your name. Sorry D:)
-H.I.V.E., The Overlord Protocol(Author...forgotten...book 2 in the H.I.V.E. series)
-Defiance (by C.J. Re...Red...Rew...I'm sorry...)
-Insigina (by S. J. Kincaid...it's always good to have a great read with ya!)
-And also, quite possibly Dark Life, by Kat Falls, and--of course--Divergent or Insurgent, both by Veronica Roth.
