Book Review: Insurgent + Giveaway!

A slightly different post today, but one not totally unfamiliar on my blog.  As you all know I am bookworm (you can see a post on a few of my fav books here and you can see my ‘book’ related tattoo here) so today I will be telling you about the book I am reading at the moment.

It’s called Insurgent and it is the second book in a series of three by Veronica Roth (the first was called Divergent) and it is a kind of action adventure/romance dystopian novel.  After reading Divergent and absolutely LOVING it, I couldn’t wait to pick up Insurgent and carry on following this story.  The two books and storyline remind me slightly of The Hunger Games so if you’re a fan of that book then you will definitely adore this!

GIVEAWAY I am giving away FIVE copies of the book and all you need to do to enter is comment on this blog post with your email address! 
Details – Five people who have commented will be chosen randomly when the giveaway ends.  This giveaway will end on Monday 7th May and I will contact the winners by email the following day.  This giveaway is courtesy of Harper Collins.  This giveaway is a UK only based giveaway and you must be a follower of my blog to enter.

I filmed a little video about what I think of the Insurgent book so far (I’m half way through) which you can watch below and I speak a little more about the story line and explain the giveaway also!

You can purchase the book at this link HERE and it is released tomorrow (1st May!). 

Don’t forget to comment below for a chance of winning one of five copies of this book!

Please note this is a sponsored post but in no way does it affect my judgement of the book or my honesty/opinions.  I did this post because I truly am a bookworm and was really excited to tell you all about what I’m sure will be the next book phenomena and to give you a chance to win the book!

    I've been wanting to read this series ! Just waiting for this class semester to be over… It sucks though because here in the US, it takes a year or two for a paperback copy to release. They release books in hardcovers first, therefore, it costs a little more. *sigh*

  25. April 30, 2012 / 8:27 pm

    This sounds like such a great series, I'd love to win a copy! 🙂 xo

    This sounds really good, thanks so much for the suggestion! ( have just ordered Divergent on Amazon :O ) I know i'm tardy to the party but i just got the Hunger games a couple of days ago, and was up till 6 this morning finishing the first one…One of the best things in life is to find a book that you literally can't stop reading! Thanks so much for this giveaway 😀 <3
