My Accomplished Reading Goal...and Future Readings >:)

Hi guys ;)

As I have previously mentioned, when I finished Angelfall, I accomplished my goal of reading 20 NEW books this summer alone.

My summer started on June 13th and is ending next Wednesday, August 28th.

This summer was EXTREMELY packed and busy, but I knew I would make time to read, blog, and vlog :)

And I was determined to accomplish my goal.

Today I read Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen (you probably saw my raving review), and that makes my book total 21 books read this summer and 31 books read in this entire year.

NOTE: As you know, I re-read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books this summer, so they aren't new books, but I count them as such because I haven't read them in YEARS. And I honestly forgot a lot of them, so I count them on my list :) And I didn't read the Heroes of Olympus books until this year. I discovered and read them at the very beginning of this year :) (March/April 2013). Plus, The Sun Also Rises was the book I was assigned to read for my summer AP Literature assignment, but I also count it on my list because I had never read it and I read it during this summer and I chose to read it! So there.

Books I Read SUMMER 2013:

1. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan.

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
