I Am An Erudite!

 

   I've been on vacation for the past couple of days (since Thursday to be exact) and just got back tonight (Tuesday night). While on vacation I got an email from my fantastic Harper Collins contact saying that I was one of the 50 bloggers selected to get an ARC of the highly coveted Insurgent by Veronica Roth, book 2 in the Divergent trilogy. So I knew I was getting the ARC, but when I got home and found this, I was still incredibly excited and did many dances, including a house parade that involved lots of screaming :P. Here's what I found:

It came in an AWESOME Insurgent themed package! 

Inside there was this awesome thing, and yes, I mean REALLY awesome thing:

It felt like I was in the presence of a god!!!

And my faction:

Yeah!!! Hear that?? I'm Erudite, we're the smarticles of the Divergent world!

So why do I need a faction? I mean aren't I just supposed to read the book? Well here's the cool thing: Each faction has 9 bloggers (and one team leader) who are trying to direct hits to their page. Whichever gets the most hits by April 25th will get a prize! Why don't I introduce you to the rest of my kick butt smarty team!

• Book Chic
• Book Twirps
• The Bookanistas
• Read Breathe Relax
• Reading Lark
• Strangemore
• Book Swarm
• The Non Reluctant Reader
• YA-Sisterhood

And of course, we're being led by the smartest of them all, Pam from Bookalicious!

Even if Erudite go a bad name in Divergent, we're not actually evil. Just a few of us, but hey, every faction had a few bad eggs, right?
