And the final installment in our countdown to F-O-U-R is Revolution! To celebrate the revolution, I have written an Insurgent parody to the tune of the Beatles famous song! Enjoy, and don't forget Insurgent comes out TODAY!!!!! Go buy it! The video of the original song is below. Feel free to bellow out the new words as loud as you can. I already have!
An Insurgent Revolution:A Beatles Parody
The factions want a revolution,
Well, you know,
Jeanine wants to rule the world.
She tells us that its evolution,
Well, you know,
Divergent can change the world.
But when you fake the simulations
Don’t you know that Tris will find you out!
Don’t you know Tris and Four will fight
Will fight, Will fight
She says she’s got a real solution,
Well, you know,
She would lie to any man.
She’ll ask you for a contribution,
Well, you know,
She’ll kill you if she can.
But if you want vengeance for people whose minds are clear
All I can tell you Jeanine is they are to fear.
Don’t you know Tris and Four will fight,
Will fight, Will fight
She says it’s time for execution,
Well, you know,
Jeanine, It might be you instead.
It’s time to beg for absolution,
Well, you know,
It’s the only way to save your head.
But if you go fighting a war that you just can’t win
You’re gonna suffer cause that is your greatest sin.
Don’t you know Tris and Four will fight,
Will fight, Will fight
Will fight, Will fight, Will fight, Will fight
Will fight, Will fight, Will fight, WILL FIGHT!!!!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Releases on May 1st.
Thank you to Katherine Tegen, HarperCollins times a million for the ARC!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
We both have war inside of us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us. (ARC, p. 242)
"Sleep," he says. "I'll fight the bad dreams off if they come to get you." (ARC, p. 50)

I have already read this book twice! Then, I went and took pictures of all my favorite pages, so I could reread them again and again, since I had to send the book to the Baby Sis and the Middle Sis! There are seriously no adjectives in the English language that do justice to this book. At one point, tears were running down my face as I was pumping my fist into the air. I cried, cheered, laughed, melted and experienced every emotion know to man through the pages of this book! I am so happy to be alive at this point in history just to be able to experience books like this one!
Also, as you probably have seen, we are apart of Team Erudite! Please help us to win this faction war by clicking on our link here. Also, as a thank you for helping us win, our faction leader, Pam, at Bookalicious, is giving away 3 finished copies of Insurgent that will be signed and personalized!!! Go here to enter the giveaway!
Friday started out just as any other day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the kids were screaming, and I needed caffine! Then all of the sudden the door bell rang! My first thought was..."HIDE, its probably a salesman!" (solicitors are popular in our neighborhood). But, before I could yell out my command, my overeager son was already shouting from the door, "its a box!" He opens the door, grabs the box only to have it ripped from his tiny hands instantly because this is what I saw:
I then proceeded to jump around like an 8 year old going to Disney World for the first time or like my sisters and I at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! I gently, ripped open the box and this is what I found:
I then grabbed the Insurgent ARC and this is what I looked like:
And, yes, Harper Collins could not have placed us in a more accurate Faction! We at the YA-Sisterhood are a bunch of smarty pants that would prefer a book to basically anything! So we will say it LOUD and PROUD...WE ARE ERUDITE!!!
Now, we are looking for more ERUDITES out there to help us spread the word and win this faction war!!! Harper Collins is holding a little, well more like HUGE, contest between the factions. For the month of April whichever faction receives the most hits on their Faction Page will win the contest!!! So please, spread the word by post this link: http://bit.ly/choose_erudite wherever you can! We know ERUDITE can do this because we have the best followers in the world!!! Let's treat this like one of our tournaments and spread the word!!! Do it for FOUR!!!!!
I saw this quote on our Faction Tumblr Page and I just had to reblog it here:
I am Divergent says:
It makes me sad that some people are ashamed when they find out they’re Erudite. Erudite isn’t a bad faction, it just gets a bad rep because of icky Jeanine. It’s like how everyone always says Slytherin is evil just because the majority of the house was on Voldemort’s side during the war. Well, I’m a Slytherin and I’m proud. So I see no reason why you can’t be proud of being an Erudite.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!! So, if you want to join our ERUDITE team and help us win this, leave your name, twitter, facebook, email, any way to get a hold of you, and we will let you know how you can help!!! Be sure in all your tweets to use: #DivergentNation and #ERUDITE.
Also, Pam over at Bookalicious, who is our Erudite faction leader, is hosting a giveaway for not 1, not 2, but 3 finished, signed and personalized copies of Insurgent! How awesome of a giveaway is that?!?! So be sure to head over there and enter to win!
Holy jumping trains Batman, we are just 3 months shy of the release of Insurgent!!! I think I can say without a doubt, this is one of the most aniticipated novels of the year! Between the factions, the rebellion and FOUR this series bleeds amazingness. To kick off the celebration early, HarperCollins has been creating some pretty great things to tide us over until the release. I can't word it any more perfectly than Alison from HarperCollins did herself:
As we get closer and closer to the on sale date of INSURGENT (5/1/2012!!!), the excitement just keeps building! We wouldn't want to leave you out in the cold like the factionless, so the team here at HarperCollins has created something awesome to dull the pain of your temporarily Four-less existence. First, check out the Choosing Ceremony eCard. Then, spill some metaphorical blood playing this new game: http://www.facebook.com/DivergentSeries?sk=app_161995987251488
So head on over to facebook and have some fun until our "Four-less" day are over!!!
