Thank you all for creating so many amazing INSURGENT covers for #TeamAmity If you’d like to see all the covers created, check out the INSURGENT Cover Recreates board on Pinterest

Honestly, I didn’t expect to get half this many entries, and I really didn’t expect them to be this good.  I had to go to my fellow #TeamAmity faction members to vote on the winners.  There will be one winner (who gets to pick 3 books from the list below) and one runner up (who gets to pick one book from the list below).  I hope all of you will take a second to click our special Choose Amity link and help bring our faction that much closer to winning the contest from HarperTeen.  And if you really want to help, tweet this message:

Help #TeamAmity one last time.Click this link as much as possible- http://bit.ly/choose_amity #DivergentNation "Four Thinks We're Beautiful"

And now the winner:


The winning cover is…

Hi Guys, Abigail here. There is not conversation snippet with my TBR Pile today. Instead I have a few updates for you. First, you may notice things look a little different today that’s because I’ve finally updated the layout for the Hot Off The Press posts.  This new layout is much easier and quicker for us to put together, eliminates unnecessary info (ISBNs etc) while keeping the description etc., and allows us to include a larger cover image.  Hopefully you guys will like the slightly streamlined layout, but as always, sound off in the comments or on twitter @Abigail_ATUF if you aren’t happy (or if you are happy).  I’m including the Amazon storefront again since I know it can be nice to see prices (plus, if you want to support ATUF and plan on buying through Amazon, it’s one stop shopping).  However, we ARE NOT ditching our traditional Hot Off The Press posts, we are just including the Amazon store as an extra :)
