Restricted Section: Term XXVI - Read, Reading, To Read

Activity: Read, Reading, To Read
Points: 10 points for your initial comment, 2 points for every substantial response, max 30 points
Deadline: August 30 @ 11:59PM UTC (Timezone Converter)

Details: Since this will be my only activity of Term XXVI, I wanted to both do something relatively simple AND take the opportunity to get to know you guy, so we're going to have a discussion post about our recent reading habits. For your initial comment, write at least 150 words talking about books you've recently read, are currently reading, and/or what you plan to read next. You can talk about any aspect of the books you wish, but some ideas would be why you selected the books, what you liked/didn't like about them, whether you'd recommend them to others, etc. For your responses, you'll need to write at least 50 words. Make sure you're saying something more than, "I read that book and liked/hated it!" Try to open a dialogue about what was good or bad, or even why you chose NOT to read it. Anything goes, as long as there's substance to it.

If you have any questions, direct them to the appropriate thread. As always, don't forget to sign each comment with your name/house or a sigtag.

Also, do remember that I wiped the roster clean, so if you have bonus items, make sure you register them HERE as soon as possible to earn your extra points. I won't be giving grace periods, so please double-check that you're good to go!

I kind of agree with you. Then in the second book in the Divergent series she seemed to become like Katniss from the Hunger Games, who I adore. But it didn't seem to fit with the setting of the first book. If you haven't read Insurgent Caitie I suggest you do. It gives a good plot twist at the end, and I think you may enjoy it more.

I did read Insurgent and I did like it better, especially the turn at the end. I still don't really like either Tris or Four so I think that is my biggest problem with it. I'm sure I'll read Allegiant, though probably not right away. But I can never leave a series unfinished

This is going to sound weird, but to me Four is reminding me of Edward Cullen. The whole "I don't want Tris to be in danger" thing. I mean she's in Dauntless for pity's sake. She's supposed to want to be in danger and do daring things. But Four just doesn't want to let her do anything that could be potentially harmful. Are they Dauntless or aren't they? Sheesh.
