Sad day for whole-heart Divergent fans.
WHY THE HELL CAN'T DIVERGENT WIN!!!
I mean, come on, Divergent is way better than Hunger Games to me.
It has the high potential to become the next big movie.
And the book is way beyond AWESOME!
Divergent absolutely deserves Teen Choice Awards.
I can say that many fans choose HG simply because of the movie.
Ugh, I can't believe it!
***
But one thing to share from Tumblr
I just see one fan made cover featuring ABNEGATION!
Check it out :
Although Convergent is a good title for book 3, I just can't see that why people are so sure that it will be called Convergent. But still this one is BEAUTIFUL! Although it will be much more epic if the yellow light is removed.
***
And one more thing. I know that it sounds very unrelated to the parts above. But just wanna say that if Four is killed in the third book, I will definitely find V. Roth.

I love the last reason. It is EPIC. I have never seen any book write like that, because there is no another guy interrupting the relationship between Tris and Tobias, which creates a love triangle. The only thing that eating away their trusts to each other is lies from Tris to Tobias. And this is a new way that should be promoted into the YA world, and Veronica Roth can carry out the tale really well in a more unique way. I adore her like Cassandra Clare.
And one more thing, I don't really like Hunger Games, so don't put Suzanne Collins into this article. She is a brilliant author, but I love Divergent. And Divergent is much better than Hunger Games to me. So the third is quite good actually.
And the forth one. What is with the forth reason? I will still nominate Divergent even Harry Potter is nominated. I mean, people will love Divergent, this is one great story. I can't see that why people will always nominate Harry Potter rather than Divergent.
The second reason is kinda lame. Why can't people love the books simply because the book is good, the books is romantic, the book is exciting, blah blah blah. I can't see why movie stars have to do with anything. Books are books. Movies are movies. And I nominate them with a separated mind.
But still, Vote for Divergent always!
I've voted. How about you?

5 Reasons Why ‘Divergent’ Should Win Choice Book At This Year’s Teen Choice
We’re counting down the days to Teen Choice 2012
(it’s tomorrow!) and (because we’re nerds), one of the moments we’re
looking forward to the most during the show, besides the performances
and the epic Breaking Dawn vs. Snow White and the Huntsman battle that’s brewing, is finding out which novel wins for Choice Book. The nominees include Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Giver, The Lucky One and Divergent, which is the only book nominated that has additional books in the series that haven’t come out yet. It’s team Divergent FTW, and here’s why:
5. It’s become the most popular in the least amount of time. Twilight was published in 2005, The Lucky One and The Hunger Games were published in 2008, and The Giver came out in 1993. These books have had years to build loyal fan bases to vote for them. Meanwhile, Divergent was published in May 2011 and the second book, Insurgent came out in May of this year.
4. It hasn’t been made into a movie…yet. Three of the five nominees have been made into a movie and one of the nominees, Twilight, has been made into five movies. Will fans cast their votes based on the books alone without thinking of Robert Pattinson, Josh Hutcherson and Zac Efron or will the movie franchise with the biggest fandom take home the prize?
3. It’s our favorite of the dystopian/monster genre novel that is not by Suzanne Collins. Don’t get us wrong, we also like Mortal Instruments, Beautiful Creatures, Shiver and Delirium, but Divergent is the only book we’ve torn through as quickly as The Hunger Games.
2. Because Harry Potter wasn’t nominated. We’re not sure what the criteria is for the new Choice Book category, but if a classic like The Giver can be nominated in the same category as an entire book series like Twilight, then why in the world isn’t J.K. Rowling’s series up for the prize? A movie version of The Giver is currently in pre-production with Jeff Bridges reportedly attached, so maybe the common thread with all the nominees is that they have movie versions set to come out in 2013?
1. It’s really good. First-time author Veronica Roth, who is only 23 years old, created a rich dystopian world in her debut novel that is easy to understand (when so many new dystopian novels aren’t), fast-paced, action-filled and also somehow manages to be romantic all at the same time. We told our friend Joey Graceffa to read it and he loved it as well. So if Joey picked it, you know it’s gotta be good!

City of Lost Souls: Deleted Scene between Simon, Jordan and Isabelle, And Vote for Divergent!
Ooh. A new deleted scene from the bestselling City of Lost Souls! And it's between Simon, Jordan and Izzy. Check it out:
I’m in.
Clary’s words rang in Simon’s head, clear as a bell, the moment he opened his eyes. He was lying in the bed in Magnus’ spare room, sheets thrown off, barefoot; Isabelle was gone. He sat up, rubbing his temples, and thought back at her:
In where?
Simon? Her voice was faint, fading, as if she were walking away from him. He sat up.
Clary?
There was no response. He lurched to his feet, his mouth dry.
Clary!
The word echoed inside his head like a bell rung in an empty room. Swearing, he pulled off his clothes, threw on new jeans and a sweater, and went out into the living room to look for his messenger bag. He felt a little sick, as if he might throw up. Clary had called out to him, but he couldn’t reach her back; what if he could never reach her back? What if she was dead or lost or the goddamn rings just didn’t work?
Jordan was lying on the futon in jeans and a green shirt, a mug of coffee balanced on his stomach. He turned his head, dark hair spilling into his eyes, as Simon came in. “Your phone’s been ringing all morning.”
Simon grabbed for his messenger bag, hanging on a peg on the wall. “Who was it?”
“I don’t know. Didn’t check. It’s your phone. You get a lot of calls, man.”
Simon forebore from pointing out that they didn’t have a land line, so everyone who knew him had to call his mobile. He fished the phone out and stared at the number. An unrecognizable 718 prefix; someone in Brooklyn. He looked at Jordan. “Did — have you seen Isabelle?”
A small smile played around Jordan’s mouth. “She’s taking a shower.”
Simon glanced toward the bathroom door, which was closed. Isabelle —Clary — it was all way too much. The sort of thing that would make you want to take a deep, steadying breath, if you breathed. Instead he flipped his phone open and dialed; it picked up on the first ring. “Hello?”
Simon was floored. “Magnus?”
A chuckle. “Hey, Daylighter.”
“No offense, but I never really visualized you calling me before.”
“It’s hardly a social call.” There was a noise in the background; a murmur of voices. “Simon, have you —”
“No, I mean I didn’t really think of you as using the phone. More — appearing in a burst of glitter.”
“Have you seen Clary?” Magnus said, firmly. “I’ll address the glitter issue later. But Jocelyn is here with Brother Zachariah, and —” he lowered his voice — “Clary’s not in her room.”
Simon gave up and took a deep breath anyway, just out of reflex. “No,” he said. “No, she wouldn’t be.”
“But you do know where she is?”
Simon squeezed his eyes shut. “Yeah.”
There was a pause. “I think you better get over here.”
“Do you want me to bring Isabelle?”
“Isabelle’s there?” Magnus managed to sound dryly amused, despite everything.
“She — she, ah, spent the night.”
“Alec will be delighted to hear that. Perhaps we can have a contest to see whether he or Jocelyn kills you first.” Magnus chortled. “Have you told Jordan about Luke yet?”
“No.” Simon opened his eyes; Jordan was still lying on the futon, engrossed in a fat science fiction novel. “Should I?”
“He should know. He’s Praetor Lupus and this is a big deal for the Moon’s Children. In fact, bring him along. Bring all your little friends along. You’ll need them!”
With which cheerful pronouncement, Magnus clicked off. Jordan sat up, setting his book aside. “What was that about telling me —”
He broke off, his eyes widening. The bathroom door had opened, and on a cloud of steam out came Isabelle, her hair like a wet black river down her back. She was wrapped in a red towel that just hit the tops of her thighs and her legs looked miles long. Both boys stared at her.
“I am so hungover,” she announced, flipped her hair over one shoulder, and stalked off toward Simon’s bedroom. Simon looked over at Jordan, whose eyebrows had risen up to his hairline.
This one is quite good, actually. But I've never imagine that Simon would lose contact of Clary. This is quite horrible for Simon himself, Jocelyn, and The Lightwoods as well. If Jace was there, he probably would be frantic to find her if thing had gone to that point. But since that Clary was trying to find Jace, I think we don't count his feelings in our wishful thinkings.
Will there be more deleted scene from City of Lost Souls? Guess we'll have to wait and see. But if there's more, I would like to read! (I think I will never get tired of reading snippets, teasers, deleted scenes and extras)
