IT'S BEEN WAYYYYYY TOO LONG

Hi guys.

Amanda here.

Yeah, I haven't posted on here in 20 days.

That's not good.

CUE BLOG POST.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can probably guess why I've been gone.

Yeah, I'm busy.

I was going to say something sarcastic like "That's right! I've been fighting Greek monsters" but no.

I'm not in the mood.


BOOK LIFE:

I have read 22 books so far this year.

I finished "The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert" by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield today.

IT WAS SUPERB. <3

I am 60 pages away from finishing "Thriving at College" by Alex Chediak.

After finishing and reviewing these two books, I will read Ruins by Dan Wells which Tyler lent to me this past Saturday.

All he said was his feels matched the title.

Uh-oh.

SCHOOL LIFE:

I...want to say a lot of things.

Some not-so-good.

Basically, I sum up my school life like this:

I want to run far, far away.


I have my two AP Exams coming...WAY sooner than I thought.

I'm not stressed over them at all, I just don't want to do them.

3 and a half hours per test...

Not exactly looking forward to that.

And I'm just so restless.

I feel like I've outgrown this lifestyle of mine and I can't wait to venture out on my own and be an adult.

Seriously, college needs to hurry.

I'm not a kid anymore.

So...yeah, I'm kind of just frustrated.

But it'll be all over soon.

~Amanda

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

Image
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
