Hi! I'm still alive.

Hi, bookish people! Did you all think I was dead? Nope. Chuck Testa.

But seriously. I've just not had anything really REALLY interesting to put up here. BUT at this moment I'm at Amanda's house so I figured I may as well put something here just because I can.

First order of business! PERCY JACKSON.

I'm just over 100 pages into Battle of the Labyrinth at the moment, and currently it's the only Percy Jackson book that I didn't read in under 24 hours. That was due to being busy all weekend. Oops. I plan to finish it tomorrow, then start on The Last Olympian and hopefully finish that up before Friday. That would end off the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which is, at least for me, Part 1 of the Percy Jackson marathon.

To read the Percy Jackson books, though, I had to put off the Tom Clancy novel I had mentioned I was reading. Thankfully, though, not for long. If all goes well I'm going to finish that sucker up by Monday and start reading the Heroes of Olympus series.

And then after that... 


Allegiant (Veronica Roth) is due for release in the end of October, and I definitely want to re-read Insurgent beforehand.

BZRK: Reloaded (Michael Grant) is also set to release in October (about time). It had been delayed from FEBRUARY. Seriously. WHO DOES THAT.
But anyway, it would be nice to read the first one again before this.



And let's not forget House of Hades.
... ... ... ... ... Need I say more? BZRK and House of Hades actually share a release date. ... The Hawkward has landed.

The Severed Tower by J. Barton Mitchell comes out sometime in Fall, too. Not sure exactly when, but the first book the series was absolutely fantastic if nothing else. ... Aha, just looked it up. November 19th. Quite a bit back from the above three, but at least I'll have time to read those. Hopefully.

Into the Still Blue (Veronica Rossi) comes out WAY later on January 28th, 2014. After the ending Through the Ever Night left us with, I want this. Now.

So you thought two October 8th release dates was enough? Nope. Sarah Crossan. Her second book in the Breathe series comes out on October 8th, along with House of Hades and BZRK: Reloaded. ... Hawkward Cubed.




AND NOW.


...

...

...

I like cats.

and trains.

AND BOOKS. HYAH.


So, let's recap:

A metric actual butt-tonne of books comes out in Fall, most of which are all on October 8th.

This is all new news to me. 
SO YEAH.

I'm gonna totally edit this when I get home and add GIFs to it if I can. Amanda's computers are OLD. Like my dog. Hahah. ... She says they aren't old, yet they can't save GIFs. Huh.

ANYWAY.

Merica.

- A person.

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...
