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:

I’m Team Amity!

You may remember a little book last year that went on to win scads of awards including Goodreads Choice Award for Favorite Book 2011: DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth!  I reviewed DIVERGENT and called it “thoughtful, occasionally horrifying, but always exhilarating, dystopian that I kept in a white-knuckled grip way into the wee hours of the night…[DIVERGENT is an] action packed dystopian thriller that will enrage and delight readers in turn, like every good dystopian should.”  So you can imagine there is quite a lot of excitement building for the sequel and it’s about to get even bigger starting today!

  

HarperTeen is launching a super cool campaign inviting bloggers to become faction initiates.  I’m Amity!
