March TBRS

Hi guise,
Today's post is a list of TBRS I will try to attempt in March. As of March 6, I will be on a book buying ban until Easter Sunday. (Rough 40 days and 40 nights without buying new books.) Since a couple of YA books are all being adapted into films, my TBR list will include Divergent by Veronica Roth and Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.

Finally jumping the bandwagon because of the film.

          I honestly could have read this series in high school. My high school library had every book in the whole entire series. Seriously, the world of YA was seriously a different place a few years ago. Because of the buzz on Twilight and Gossip Girl, most of the books I looked at in a bookstore were mainly between popularity and vampires such as: Blue Bloods, Vampire Kisses, The A-List, The Clique, Vampire Diaries and etc. Because of the buzz around vampires, I really refused to read anything with vampires with the exception of Vampire Kisses because I was drawn to it by it's manga.

     Now in today's world, I am trying Vampire Academy because I like the story. Lissa is a special vampire princess called Moroi with special powers. Rose is her best friend, protector and a Damphir. Two years ago, the both of them escaped their school, St. Vladimir's  Academy. Rose's job as Lissa's protector is to protect her from the Strigoi, a group of vampires who will do anything to get Lissa to be one of them. But inside the gates of St. Vladimir's danger lurks as the Strigoi are close and near.

Bandwagon again.

     This is the second book on my TBR list. Around March 14, it will be released. I bought it because I was intrigued by the story as well. I knew this kinda existed around the time in high school, but around that time, dystopian novels were starting to come out. My public library didn't have dystopian back then as they have now. 

   In Tris' world, Chicago is a society is divided into five factions, Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful) and Erudite (the intelligent). Every year, 16 year olds must take an exam to figure out which faction will the devote the rest of their lives to. For Tris, the decision between staying with her family and being who she really is, she can't have both. 

   I'm not going to put up the full summary for Divergent, due to the movie coming out and most people will be reading the book. Plus, I'm tired right now. I've been trying to finish this list as quick as possible, but was either tired or unmotivated. 

   Additionally, I bought The False Prince and The Runaway King by Jennifer A. Nielsen in Barnes and Noble and hauled Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and Visions in White by Nora Roberts in a local thrift shop. 

   Later,
