13th Post
Alright. I have been FLYING through books lately. I have a lot to talk about, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Since the last update I've read..... About 5 books. I read "Dust City" by Robert Paul Weston, "SoulStice" by Simon Holt, "Hush Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick, "13th Reality: The Hunt for Dark Infinity" by James Dashner and To kill a mockingbird. I thought Dust City was kinda dumb, I couldn't really take it seriously, because the main character was a wolf (no qualms on that) but his mom died from pixie dust..... Yeah..... Pixie dust..... I honestly don't remember much of this book because I didn't like it all that much. Next is SoulStice which I finished today, it's the book that comes after "The DeVouring" This book was absolutely amazing. The ending made me seriously tweak out. I went up to my mom AND the girl that recommended it to me and yelled: "WHERE'S FEARSCAPE?! I NEED FEARSCAPE NOW!!!!!" according to my mom the book isn't out yet, even though the girl that recommended it to me has it, the freakin school library has it (and believe me, they NEVER have any good books) and the inside cover of the book says it came out fall of last year. I'm gonna say this is operator error on my moms part. The next book is Hush Hush, it's an amazing book it really is. I mean, yeah, it's a love story pretty much, but it's developed. Unlike certain popular books *cough cough TWILIGHT.* The Hunt for Dark Infinity is the second book in the 13th Reality Series and I was actually ashamed of myself because it took me 3 days to read. It usually takes me not even a day to read most books and this took me three? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?! Now.... To Kill a Mockingbird..... I actually didn't like this book. I'm pretty sure if I A: wasn't forced to read it and B: was like maybe 2-3 years older I would've liked it a lot more than I did. I just kinda thought it was boring. Oh well. I'm sorry for not sharing anything about the actual books but seriously people, if you want to know what happens in a book, then read the friggin thing. Yes, I'll tell you if I like a book, no, I won't tell you what happens in it. That's your job as readers. That's all for this update. PEACE!

12th Update
Considering I didn't write much on my last blog, I thought I'd be nice (or my mom forced me, whichever choice you like best) and write another blog. I've finished 2 books in one day (okay, I know that sounds like a feat but one book I had already started and was like 10 pages away from finishing it haha) The 2 books I read were "The Throne of Fire" by Rick Riordan, if you haven't heard of him get your head out from under the rock it's been underneath for the past 5 years and pick up another title of his called "The Lightning Thief". ANYWAY, this book is the second in the "Kane Chronicles" which follows the adventures of Carter and Sadie Kane (hence KANE Chronicles) this book involves the Egyptian gods and how they're still "alive" (that's a common theme in his books) the mane villain of the series is Apophis and he's a giant snake. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have a giant evil snake take over the world. The other book I read is called the DeVouring by Simon Holt, it was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad she recommended it haha. This book is so awesome, it's about these monsters that take over human bodies and live out their lives and send the REAL souls away to these places called "Fearscapes" where they basically spend all eternity with their biggest fears. These monsters are called "Vours" (it's why the V in "The DeVouring" is capitalized) it was a gripping story and had me reading it in the middle of some of my classes (mainly science because i finished it next hour ha ha). So for anyone who hasn't read the DeVouring or the Kane Chronicles; READ THEM BECAUSE I COMMAND IT! PEACE!

11th post
Okay, I know, I haven't posted in a while but I've been on break (that means I RELAXED and played video games haha) But that doesn't mean I haven't read anything (ok, only 2 books, i know, I'm slipping) I've read... Middle World by J&P Voelkel which is about a kid (not unlike me) whose parents don't pay much attention to him because they're out exploring a lot (No, I'm not saying that my parents neglect me) and he ends up with his uncle (not the nicest guy ever) then...... Read the friggin book and you'll see what happens mkay? The next book I've read is Daniel X: Demons and Druids by James Patterson (the guy basically craps out books) and you all should know his writing; it's very easy and quick even though the books are 200+ pages. Again, if you want to know what happens IN the books just READ them, don't rely on ME to tell you what happens in the books because I'm like my mom in that irritating way "So mom what's your book about?" "I dunno, read it". Also the Young Adult Book Club meets this thursday at 6 PM (I won't be there unfortunately because I'm going to see Lewis Black) but the book is called "The Dust City". That's all for this update people. PEACE!
