Last Blog Challenge of the Year

Here is a list of the books I would like to read over the summer.

1)City of Ashes: I have already read City of Bones the first book in this series and I enjoyed it a lot.  I want to discover if the second one's just as good.

2)The Recruit: Many people have told me this was a great book, with lots of action.  This is the type of genre I enjoy thorougly.

3)Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif: When I was younger I gave this book a try and I didn't like it.  Now I want to try it again because I am getting in to greek mythology.

4)Catching Fire: Second book in the Hunger games series is going to be a great one.  Hunger games was fantastic now I want to move on to Catching Fire.

5)Pendragon: This is a book that many have read but I haven't got into it.  I would like to give it a try.

6)Gone: A book that I am going to love.  It has it all packed into one amazing book I would like to read it.

7)Divergent: Just by the title you can tell this book is a one that you will never be able to put down, and when it's done you'll go hunting for the second book.

8)The Lost Hero: This book is an action filled book and I would really like to read it during the summer.

9)The Golem's Eye: I have already read the first book in this trilogy and it was one of the best books ever.  I hope this one will bring the same pleasure as the first one.

10)City of Glass: City of Glass is the third book in the Mortal Instruments series.  I would love to get to this book over the summer.

10 Books I would like to read during the summer;

1. Divergent - Veronica Roth
I would love to read this book because of all the people who are telling me its a great book, and a great trilogy. I really liked the hunger games and people tell me this book is like it and even better!

2. Insurgent - Veronica Roth
I want to read Divergent so why not read the second one?



3. The Rook - Daniel O'Malley
The Rook is a new book that is kind of like the CHERUB series, except it is about a girl who wakes up to hundreds of dead people lying down around her, she doesn't know who she is, and she needs to find out information about her past to figure out what really happened (Info from http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10836728-the-rook)




4. Revived - Cat Patrick
This book seems amazing. Doctors make a drug that can revive people back from the dead, and one girl is the test subject, she's been revived 5 times in 15 years, and after each time she comes back, she has a whole new identity. From there, she figures out the doctors real plans, and develops her own plans to start mayhem.
(Info from http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12681233-revived)



5. Books 5-12 of the CHERUB Series - Robert Muchamore

A book about James and his life as a CHERUB agent, I've already read the first 4, and i'm psyched to read the rest of the series.

6. City Of Bones - Cassandra Clare
A lot of people have been telling me to read this book, it is supposed to be absolutely amazing. I didn't put "The Mortal Instruments" Series as the title, because i'm not sure if I will like the book or not.

7. Gone - Michael Grant
I would love to read Gone by Michael Grant because also, lots of people have been telling me to read this book, and the Best Book Debate we did in class sort of persuaded me to read it. Again, I only put Gone because I'm not sure if I will like it or not.

8. Maximum Ride 2-8 - James Patterson
I read the first book in the series, and it was amazing. I couldn't get my eyes off the page and I finished it in about a week. (That is really fast for me.) Schools Out seems like a great book from what people and the internet tell me.

Last blog challenge

Many of the ten books I want to read are either re-reads or series.

1. Insurgent, because I loved the first book Divergent. With the ending of Divergent it left me wanting more.

2. The whole tomorrow when the war began series. I've read the first book of the series and loved it. So I really want to finish the series to find out what happens.

3. All 7 or 8 books from the Alex Rider series. I read all the books a couple of years ago, and from what I recall they were all very good, so I would like to read them again.

4. Young Bond, it's a very similar series to Alex Rider, so I want to see how the two series are different and similar.

May 28th Challenge

My favourite childhood food, there are plenty, 1 was mash potatoes, yet, I still love it. I cant get enough of mash potatoes, with butter, salt and pepper. But my favourite food, still is, and I will always love it, is mothers chicken curry, with basmati rice. I love it so much, because I know it won't always be here. I wont be eating the same curry in what, 30-40 years, so I think I still like eating it everyday. (Yes, I eat curry, rice, and vegetables, maybe some fish, beef etc. EVERY day.) All it is, water, spices, sauces, chicken!

The book I am reading this week is The Killing, by Robert Muchamore. It is the fourth book in the CHERUB series. The main characters are still, James, Bruce, Kerry, and Lauren. James gets dumped by Kerry, because of his ignorance, right away, he gets mad and beats up some random kid. He gets suspended from missions, no holidays, he has to clean up the mission prep rooms every night for three months, and he has anger-management classes. Later on though, Zara gives James a low-risk mission with his 17 year old friend Dave.

Challenge of June 4th

A book that has a HORRIBLE cover is Class A. Class A is the second installment of the CHERUB series. An amazing book, I cant lie, but the cover shows a kid on his bike. The book is completely irrelavent to the illustration on the title page. It is about kids going on special missions, in this one they go to a small city with people who dont use electricity, and they have to find out some of the illegal things they are doing.

The book I'm reading this week is The Killing, by Robert Muchamore. James gets sent on a mission (FINALLY!) to south London, where he gets put in a flat, to investigate a man named Leon Tarasov. Dave (James' partner) gets a job, while James, gets a girlfriend (not really a girlfriend, just for the mission) He has to befriend the son of Leon Tarasov, but unfortunately he died a year ago from falling off of a rooftop.

Challenger for June 4th

The book I have for this week's challenge is the Blue Helmet.

This is great book with a bad front cover.  The front cover just shows a person who is shaded blue with no detail on his face at all, it's basicaly just an outline.  The book is mainly focused on Lee's and Bruce Cutter's friendship but the front cover dosen't show any of that.  Many people might think this book is very bad because of it's lame front cover.  In the inside the pages are filled with amazing information about Lee's hard life and how he fought threw some difficult moments.  First he lived in Hamilton with his father but his father was sick and tired of him breaking the law, so he got sent to New Toronto to live with is aunt Reena.  Now he spends his days working at Reena's cafe and doing deliveries for her.  Lee makes frendship with Cutter a man that he does deliveries for.  When Cutter dies he leaves all his money to Lee and his house.  Lee's father comes to New Toronto for a while.  While he is there Lee, Reena and Lee's father settle in, in Cutter's home and live their. I stronly think this book need's a new front cover that describe's the book.

Divergent

I've just been chugging through books lately, I have finished Tomorrow, when the war began and I'm now onto divergent. My god what a great book. So in the most recent part that I've read Four and Tris go into Fours fear landscape. She learned a lot of things about him, other than his fears. She learned who he really is, an Abnegation council members son, the son who was abused by his father, Four was Tobias. After they get through it, Tris is trying to get Fours aptitude test results out of him.

Rating: Hollywood undead, again another great book I've stumbled upon. This book has everything in it, mystery, action, adventure and even a little comedy and romance. With the plot turning out the way it has I can't wait to see what happens.
