.....I haven't posted in a while.....

Hello book people....hopefully you remember me...okay then.

 Tyler will be giving Angelfall today in Calculus, so I will finally find out what that all is about. And remember Tyler when you were laughing at me because I had to wait until November 5th for Champion, Allegiant, and House of Hades? Now I can laugh at you because you will be getting your books at the end of November. And agreed, no one should post anything remotely related to any spoilers of the books coming out this fall, without warning. 

 I have finished reading Elegy, the fourth and final book in the Watersong series. It was super long compared to the rest of the books. It was 542 pages and the rest were like 200-300 pages. I think that it could have been a lot shorter, considering that most of it was spent looking for certain people. It was good, though. 

 I was rereading Insurgent before I acquired Elegy, so I put Insurgent aside and read Elegy. And it will probably be put aside again so that I can read Angelfall. Then I will finish Insurgent and reread Legend and Prodigy. I have also ordered the book The Spectacular Now, as I saw the movie trailer and I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT MOVIE! It seems Perks of Being a Wallflower like, so I'll read it. I ordered it on Monday and it just shipped yesterday, which was a day later than the expected shipping date, Amazon seller. So, I'm expecting that sometime next week.

 I have had a lot of reading to do and it's only the first week classes. This is the first time I am taking a Christian Studies class. I am in New Testament and we have to read the whole New Testament over the course of the semester. That being said, I have to spent a lot of time reading that and figuring out what's going on and who everybody is. My Statics and Physics classes are going to be kind of similar, my Surveying professor says that the class is going to be one of the easier classes but we spent 25 minutes of the lecture last night talking about sig figs. Totally unnecessary. 

 I will post again with my Angelfall reaction, but until then, I am not sure.

Nico di Angelo

Nico's first appearance: The Titan's Curse . It makes me so sad how Nico starts out as an innocent, adorable little boy who loves and jabbers about a geeky game. He has no idea he is a half-blood. He has no idea he's the son of Hades. He's innocent, has his older sister, and has his nerdy game. And then, Bianca goes to be a huntress for Artemis. Nico feels hurt, but still has his sister. And as time goes on, this innocent, happy Nico is destroyed. He loses his innocence. He loses Bianca. He realizes that his geeky little game is actually real, and extremely dangerous. He becomes a shadow; a sad, broken-hearted soul who rarely smiles. He goes from innocently asking Percy if he can surf really well, to promising Percy to take the others to the Doors of Death at the end of Mark of Athena. Nico is a character who I have a special soft-spot for. He lost so much, and hurts so much. He seems misunderstood, but really, he's probably one of the most

BOOK REVIEW: THE DARKEST MINDS BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

I found a review on Goodreads that perfectly puts into words how I feel about this book. (Author: Mitch) (cuss words have been removed; points that I personally REALLY agreed with are in bold) On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian. It's incredibly dark and disturbing, but more than that, there's a certain realism to Alexandra Bracken's writing that makes the plot believable in a way few other books in the genre are. Yeah I'm frustrated, but not because this book is a generic dystopian - it's not, not because the plot calls for kids being rounded up in concentration camps and shot in the back - though that happens, but because I feel ...more "On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian.

Review: Sylo by D.J. MacHale

So, Sylo by D.J. MacHale. This is the non-spoiler part. I will tell you when the spoiler part starts. The second book in the trilogy is set for release towards the end of March, so look for it! Awesome looking cover. Yup. The beginning was strange and frankly, it scared me a little because I was reading this late at night before going to sleep. The ending, like in the last 50 pages was like: Okay, that might be a bit of an overstatement. It wasn't a feelsplosion, it was just crazy plot twists. Yeah. Leave it to D.J. MacHale to make everything complicated. *cough cough Pendragon cough* My rating: Hmm... 8 /10 It was a good book. I was definitely pulled in and it keeps you guessing. .................... Okay, spoilers below this point. Stop reading now if you haven't read or are planning to read this book. Tucker. I like how Tucker isn't the wimpy back-up football player at end of the book. He becomes a leader and the group has no idea what they're
