#TeamAbnegationUK #INSURGENTUK

I am squuuueeee muchly (sorry couldn’t resist) excited to have been selected to receive an Advanced Review Copy (ARC) of Veronica Roth’s follow up to Divergent –  Insurgent.

I have been allocated to #TeamAbnegationUK. Our challenge is to post the most book reviews in the week of release (1st-8th May) – no review allowed before that. If we beat gently pull ahead of the other factions (Dauntless, Erudite, Amity and Candor) we will win a goodie bag. Follow #INSURGENTUK on Twitter to see who else has been selected.

In Divergent the heroine Tris has been bought up in Abnegation so I’m very proud to have been selected to represent this faction. Abnegation are called The Selfless, they are said to put the common good above all and others above themselves. I can’t promise that I always do this but try hard when I can. I think in the case of this challenge though we’ll be rooting for our faction and blogging like crazy.

1. Faction Leader – @daisychainbooks (Twitter) – Blog – Daisy Chain Book Reviews.
