Has anyone read Veronica Roth's Divergent?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
It's on my list, but I haven't yet. I can also probably get a copy, though -- if you're not dying to read it, I can ask my editor to send it to me, and then send it on to you.

I put it on hold at the library, and I have other stuff to read, so there's no rush. Basically, if you had it, that would be cool, but it'll probably come up at the library within a week or 2. Thanks!
On the Skulduggery Pleasant front, I'm reading the author's blog, and I just got to an entry where he's talking about Skulduggery fanfic he's read, and giving short little reviews of some of them. So apparently he's pro-fanfic. He's very pro-fan, that's for sure.

Has anyone read Veronica Roth's Divergent?
Yes, I enjoyed it, though the last bit that was very "and now there will be a sequel!" annoyed me. And it's much like the many dystopia-novels, where the whole thing is a little weird and fake, but still, entertaining.

Rushing through Skulduggery whitefont; I'm going to Powell's website right now to see if I can find the other books at a decent price.
And if I can find the Kylie Chan books (Australia) that aren't really available in the US for my sister and dad, I will be a fucking HEROINE.
ETA: SCORE! Skulduggery Pleasant books and FREE SHIPPING this weekend! No love on the not-available-in-US-yet Chan books.

Because books.
People who've borrowed from the Kindle library: When I borrowed Water for Elephants, it said I couldn't borrow another book until Feb. 1 (I think). If I'm not done with the book by then, is it going to disappear?

I believe it will disappear, but people with more direct experience will have a better answer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just read that as "like water for elephants".
I haven't had anything disappear yet, but I have always finished reading by months end (I borrowed Hunger Games in December and Catching Fire in January)
