Will Tris Live in the Divergent TV Movie?

So in the last month, therehas been a lot of talk about the last movie in the Divergent Series heading to TV instead of the movie theater.

The news was a shock to a lot of fans when it first came out. Me too.

But in the end, it doesn’t surprise me much. I didn’t end up seeing any of the Divergent movies in the theater and I haven’t even seen #3 yet.

There are a couple of reasons for this. The number one reason for me is I have always known we were counting down to (spoiler ahead) Tris’s death...

Young Adult Coloring Books for YA Fans

Young Adult Coloring Books

Adult coloring books are the newest fad, so why shouldn’t young adult book authors get into the action! There are not a lot of accompanying coloring books for YA book fans, but I found a few you might enjoy on Amazon. And I have seen on The Lunar Chronicles Website that one is coming out for that series at the end of the year (2016)!

Personally, I really think Young Adult Coloring Books are super fun. In fact I think they are SO fun that I made one for Configured yo...

I love the Hunger Games. That books is really want got me back into reading (for pleasure) after 20 years and ultimately what inspired me to write Configured.

Epic List of YA Books For Star Wars Fans
