CAPTIVE teaser!

In honor of the completion of the first round of edits for Captive, I have a picture/quote to share! I will be sharing little things like this with you all the way up until it's released... hopefully sometime later this year.

WIP - teaser #2

**(WIP = works in progress)

From  Phoenix

Divergent - by Veronica Roth

One choice can transform you...

Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent)...

Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous. Supports the Common Core State Standards.

5 out of 5 stars

I've been trying to get around to reading this for a while. I picked it up in the store one time and read a few pages but it didn't capture my interest at all. Then I saw the movie and I enjoyed it so much I decided to give the book a try again. I got a beautiful hardcover copy for Christmas and read it in two days! I don't like books that are written in present tense (*cough* *cough* Hunger Games *cough* *cough*) but the plot and world/character development was so good in this book that I didn't care! I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about the world of DIVERGENT, especially the faction system and what happened in the world beyond futuristic Chicago. But, luckily, there are two more books to satisfy my curiosity! And FOUR! Omg, I'm going to start his book soon and I cannot wait!

Happy New Year!

Been obsessed with this song lately

Rain, rain, please don't go away. I wouldn't mind if you stayed a couple of days!

 (it decided to stop raining right as I took this picture but it was just POURING yesterday)

I'm sitting here thanking God right now as the sky pours forth it's healing nourishment onto our dry California ground. There has been a drought here for a while, I heard that people in LA weren't even allowed to get their cars washed because they were trying to conserve the little water they had. Well, now we can put that all behind us. The fields are now green again, the soft pitter-patter on the roof is like a lullaby, the air is cold outside but within our walls it's toasty warm, the leaves off the trees continue to fall, Christmas music is playing... And now all I want to do is sit in front of the fire with a cup of tea and travel back down memory lane...
