Insurgent By Veronica Roth Review

This might be a bit harsh but I think that this might be my last OTP, YA, female heroine has something special about her but it takes the actions of the male love interest to bring it out in her type series I'm going to read for a while.
I'm not saying that Insurgent was bad, it's not, it just happens to be the one that I read as I get bored with the premise.
Veronica Roth is a very competent writer with a solid story, it just doesn't stand up as strong as the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld or The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

I will be reading the last book in the series because I want to see where the story goes but I won't be reading anything (The 5th Wave, Half Lives, Reboot) like this in the near future.
3 out of 5 stars.

Photo challenge (catch up day 1) this months reading list.

Technically day 1 of the photo challenge my proposed reading list for December. I stress the word proposed because the list in my head always changes as I actually come to the end of a book.
Also I have a list of ebooks that need reading because they need reviews.

But yay for comic books, sci-fi and historical fiction.


List:
Comic Books
  •  Catwoman, vol 1 of new 52, Judd Winick and Guillem March
  • Witch Craft, 1,2 & 3 of 3, James Robinson, Peter Snejbjerg and Teddy Kristiansen
  • Ballads, Charles Vess
Novels
  • Insurgent, Book 2 Divergent trilogy, Veronica Roth
  • Allegiant, Book 3 Divergent trilogy, Veronica Roth
  • The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett

Look what I got!

Look what came in the mail and was sitting on the door step when I got home from work. I will admit that I haven't read the second book yet but I could not pass up the opportunity to get this when I saw the post for McNally Jackson Bookstore in America on my Tumblr feed.

The old book I am starting now.

I am going to start this blog off with what I am lead to believe is a classic. Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World, book one of the Wheel of Time.

It's formidable size is what has put me off in the past, (being dyslexic and a reader has caused a lot of problems over the years.) But, I think I am willing to give it a crack now, especially considering my head of department bought it for me.

I also want to read some thing that isn't firmly in the category of young adult fantasy as i have just come off a binge of the genre having read just finished Divergent by Veronica Roth and The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.

So the rest of the evening will be spent making a dent in The Eye of the World
