Divergent - Veronica Roth

I am just about to start reading Divergent, by Veronica Roth, which most people probably already know of from the movie that just recently came out. I remember seeing the trailer for Divergent and I was instantly interesting in seeing it. It was when third trimester was starting up that I learned we would once againt be blogging so I decided to read the book Divergent. While i am still waiting on amazon for the book to come I decided to do some research into Veronica Roth's life and to learn about the author.

I learned that Veronica Roth was born in New York City but raised in Barrington Illinois and she was the youngest of three children. Her parents divorced when she was only five years old. Her mother's parents were concentration camp survivors and it caused her to be pushed away from religion because of it. Roth however joined a Christian Bible study group and she has kept with it ever since. She married Nelson Fitch, a photographer, in 2011. Roth is most known for her trilogy Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant. She wrote Divergent over winter break at college and her career took off, she sold the movie rights to Summit Entertainment before even graduating college. From what i've heard and seen from the trailer of the movie I am very excited to start reading it.
