Thursday Throw Down is an original feature created here at booklife4life. I created this feature because it seems with everything book related, there's always two ways to see it :)

Each week I will provide two "contenders" and you will decide the winner :) Write a post supporting your choice and link it back to here and add yourself to the Link-In so everyone can see! If you don't have time to create a post, just place your vote in the comment section! :)

I will "tally" up the votes and announce the winner along with a randomly selected blog post supporting that winner on the following TTD.

This week we have a few options to pick from :D

WHICH FACTION WOULD YOU PICK?!

ERUDITE

 Erudite was formed by those who blamed human ignorance for the faults of society. They formed Erudite as a way of eliminating ignorance and darkness from human minds.

Erudite values the virtue of intelligence and wisdom over any other. The members focus their lives on the pursuit of knowledge. Erudite are expected to delegate themselves in the library reading books, or, most commonly, reading something from the computer.  

AMITY

Amity is a faction that dislikes war, discord, and strife of any kind. They blame aggression as the root of all evil. They don't recognize a leader but use Johanna Reyes as their representative/mouthpiece. They are a highly democratic faction, voting on almost everything. Even the food that they eat contains a peace serum, meant to prevent the faction members from fighting. The members wear comfortable red or yellow clothing. Their main contribution to society is growing crops, and they work closely with Erudite to develop new methods of farming.

CANDOR

The Candor value honesty and cannot tell a lie. They say whatever is the truth, even if it gets them into trouble. Candor children are taught to speak their minds at every moment. They are often lawyers, because they are truthful about everything. The Candor believe that truth is black and white, so that is what they wear. 

DAUNTLESS

Dauntless was a faction formed by those who blamed cowardice for society's problems. The only answer is to face your fears through bravery.
The Dauntless value the virtue of bravery over any other, as such they train to fight and use weapons to prepare their bodies to respond to threats and challenges, which is necessary if they want to survive life as a Dauntless member. The faction also emphasizes the idea of freedom from fear, and test this daily by attempting death-defying feats. 

ABNEGATION

Abnegation value the virtue of selflessness over any other. Abnegation initiates are forced upon attaining membership to reject a life of vanity and self-indulgence, in theory to protect themselves from greed and envy (considered forms of selfishness). Gossiping, using a mirror for long periods of time, and buying luxury items are forbidden. As Abnegation members, the focus of their lives will be in serving others instead of themselves: anything done for self-enjoyment is discouraged. Abnegation are usually very quiet, as they don't like to call attention to themselves and find joy in helping others. 




LAST WEEK'S WINNER!
Find the post HERE

I actually spaced this last week. Sorry :(
So the winner from two weeks ago...

Cinder's American Cover :D

Thanks to all who repliped.

Reading is My Escape From Reality! wrote this:

Personally, I prefer the American cover. I like the use of the glass slipper and the hint of robotics underneath the skin. This is the first cover I saw and it really intrigued me. I grabbed this book up the instant I first saw it on a shelf in the store. It conveys the idea of a new twist on an old fairytale.
The Czech cover (while stunning) doesn't give me the same feeling. The full moon and the witchy kind of outfit doesn't say Cinderella to me at all.


Like always you can either comment your answer below or join the link up with your own blog post explaining your decision.

Trish from Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality! had this to say...

I am a little torn on this. I love the idea of all the comforts and modern amenities of the Capital. But I don't think I could stand living with the people who live in the Capital. They are all so vain and self-centered. I don't even dry my hair in the morning and I wear very little makeup. I am most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt (if sweatpants aren't an option anyway). While I appreciate the glamour of the Capital, I just don't think I would fit in.
District 12 appeals to me on the level of comfy clothes, a close knit community and better values. Then again, the people in District 12 are so poor and have NO amenities. Except for the houses in the Victor's Village.
So, I think I will go with District 12, as long as I have one of those very comfortable houses in the Victor's Village (along with the comforts they provide). And, as long as we weren't starving. ;)


Thank you for your reply :D
I agree, the capital has it's advantages but i'm more of an outdoors, smell the fresh air kind of gal, and i would love to just take walks in the forest every day. Plus i owe zero things of makeup and rock a pony tail most day :)

Sabrina from Sabrina's Stories had this to say:

I have read both these books! I have to admit that I originally rated The Fault In Our Stars higher than Paper Towns on Goodreads, but I have begun to think of Paper Towns as my favourite John Green book so far. I think I would recommend Paper Towns, just because it's less popular (at least for now).

I have read both and I personally liked Paper Towns slightly better because it didn't' make me ugly cry!!

I guess i'll keep doing this. Rome wasn't built in a day so i'll keep at it til something happens :)

In corner #1 we have....

Paper Towns!

 Goodreads

Short Bio: Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew...

In corner #2 we have...

 The Fault In Our Stars!

Goodreads

Short Bio: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

If you could only recommend one of the above books, which would you pick?? :D

Jessica @ Ramblings on Reading choose Team Adam and posted this as evidence: 

This week is a battle that has raged since the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi was first published:

Adam vs. Warner

Now, I’ll be honest, I haven’t read the final book in this series, partly because I found out how this particular love triangle ends up. So this is based on the first two books. And I am FIRMLY:

Warner does some really terrible things to Juliet, and I don’t know how everyone just kind of got over that. Adam, while I’ve heard kind of goes crazy in the last book, spends the first two books loving Juliet and trying to take care of her and protect her from Warner. So there’s really no competition here.


I whole heartily agree with her! Warner almost killed her!!

Bio: Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't.

Team #1:

Alex Sheathes 

Security guard making sure no one runs into the wilds.

Passes himself off as "cured".

Falls in love with MC Lena.

Tries to help her escape.

Team #2:

Julian Fineman

Son of the leader of the movement to cure everyone of Deliria.

Is supposed to undergo his "cure" before the recommended birthday.

Gets kidnapped with MC Lena, who aids in their escape.

Falls in love with MC Lena.
