The long-awaited sequel to the amazing book Divergent is NOW HERE@ THE LIB! Place your holds now, Insurgent is in!

The Divergent trilogy is for fans of the Hunger Games, fans of awesome books, and generally awesome people. So get to reading before there's a movie or a TV show! Here's a spoiler free  synopsis of book 2: "One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you…Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so." – from goodreads.com

So did everyone and their grandma (because EVERYONE should see this movie [after reading the book of course]) make it to see the Hunger Games at least once this past week? We did at the Lib (for opinions, inquire within), but we wanted to make sure you had some read-a-likes to keep you busy until the next movie comes out in 2013! Click here to check them out and get to holding!

Look we're not huuuuuge fans of the Biebs, but this image speaks the truth…thanks @michegreer!

Seriously If I Stay requires at least one box of tissues per read. Put it on hold here!

For all you Hunger Games fanatics, it's trailer time! Convenient how this trailer is released during the same week as another franchise debuts Part 1? Regardless, if you prefer vampires over dystopia, you should check out the Hunger Games, so far it's worth the hype! Click here to view the trailer.

Who saw it last night? Thoughts?

We're talking the incredibly short teaser clip for the Hunger Games (out March 23, 2012). A reason to watch (or suffer through, take your pick) the VMAs. Granted there was some fierce present, but here in the Teen Department we are still on the fence as to whether the movie will do the book justice. See it for yourself here.
