There's a lot of books out there, but I really want to read one that hasn't gotten a lot of attention like The Hunger Games or Divergent. Any suggestions? Today, I bought a few interesting books that aren't from popular authors such as UnEnchanted, Just a Little Crush, Between the Lines, and Dollhouse.
All of these books are basically fantasy-like (which is what I like to read) and I got them from the Kindle book store for really good prices (some of these books were free so that's good to the least. (: )
So yeah, I promise the next post was going to be the characterization of Tris from Insurgent, but I really want to see which book I want to read next before I finish the main blog post of the last book I read. That's all for right now so bye, readers! :D
[This is basically only for reading, I do have a Tumblr and I'm sure the link is here somewhere.....]

Insurgent, you should really read it.
Anyways, yeah, I'm almost done with Insurgent and it's getting really, really, good. This trailer of the book really captures the main aspects. Basically, Insurgent takes place right after it's prequal when Tris and the rest of her group are on the train to the Amity faction. Everything seems quiet because a huge war just took place and it ended right after Tris shut down the Dauntless power.
Referring to the link, it is indeed fact that the 5 factions are crumbling and tearing apart from each other. To all the other factions, none of them trust each other, all but Amity. Their faction leader proposed a safe house for all 5 factions if just in case something happened.
I'm not saying this book is filled with "feels", but this book is filled with "feels". "Feels" that can tear you on the inside and make your heart ache with pain, wanting more and more to break your heart. The next post that I'm going to make will be crawling with spoilers since I'm probably going to tackle the main theme of this book (or the characters, I don't know.) But yeah, see you next time.

Insurgent-my thoughts and questions so far
While reading the squeal to Veronica Roth's bestseller novel Divergent, I've have had questions about the plot elements to Insurgent. First, I was wondering when Tris calls Tobias "Four", who does she talk to when she refers to Tobias as "Four." Sometimes in the book, she called him "Four" to Caleb and other times, she called Tobias as his real name to Caleb. Does she refer Tobias as "Four" when she's telling someone important information or it's kind of a second nature, I don't know.
My next question is if Tris really cares about her parents, then is she actually going to go look for the truth of what happened to them? I keep reading her thoughts about her thinking about her parents and wondering if anything happened to them when the Dauntless raided on the Abnegation at the end of book one (spoilers!)
A connection for the part I'm at in the book is a text to self connection. Tris is similar to me because she's outgoing, stubborn, witty, and ignorant.(She describes herself in the first book to be stubborn, but outgoing.) My actions relate to Tris' characteristics because in my personal narrative, I describe how I didn't want to go to that rock, I didn't want to wear that lifevest, but I did jump the rock.
I predict what'll happen next is that Tris, Caleb, Tobias, and Marcus escape Amity in search for the remaining Abnegation and Dauntless members. How it'll end is that there will be a huge fight and someone gets severally injured. They'll have to maybe (?) go to a different faction for a period of time and investigate the Erudite headquarters.
Edit (9/10/13): Reading a bit more of Insurgent, I got to know it a bit more. Some of my questions were answered and I gained new questions as well. One of the new questions is looking back towards the begginning of the book, would the safe house be better in a situation like this? The Erudite are seeking more important information so would it actually be best if everyone was hiding in one place? The book is getting better since the last time I read it and probably by next week, I'll have it mostly finished.
