    Divergent is in my group that I bought this summer. I have the Philbin one in one of my rental queues I think.

    RE your question: Booksfree and Gilded Book are book rentals, like Netflix for DVDs. I live inconveniently from a decent library, so book rentals have been my answer. I intend to make a post about them this week.
