Review

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

I Really enjoyed this book I think it is by far the best book in the Hunger Games series. My favorite part was towards the end of the book but you never knew what was going to happen next!!!

The Fire Thief

 by Terry Deary

*** out of 5 stars - I feel this way because gods and goddesses are my favorite myths to read. What  I liked the most about this book is how Prometheus lives everyday for eternity.

Book Reviews from the Summer Reading Entries

Rumor Has It by Jane B. Mason & Sarah Hines Stephen (Reviewer Gabrielle)

It was very predictable!!  Haha

11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass (Reviewer Gabrielle)

I really liked it! It was a page turner, I love Wendy Mass's books!:)

Eon: dragoneye reborn by Alison Goodman (Reviewer Galena)

GREAT!

Eona by Alison Goodman (Reviewer Galena)

Stunning!

The Mating  by Nicky Charles (Reviewer Geornesha)

It was a great 1st book to a trilogy.

The Giver by Lois Lowery (Reviewer Jackie)

The theme was really refreshing and the book made me think what if I lived in a society like one in the book. I wouldn't like to live the way the society decide everything for me even though it's for everyone's sake.Aalthough I liked it, I didn't like the ending. I would've liked it better if I knew what happened to Jonas after he escaped from the society.

"I absolutely loved it! It's the best book ever! I don't know if I would want to live in the Society. I mean, I don't want somebody picking my life out for me! The Officials in the Society decide who you love, where you work, when you die...
But people totally need to read this book! If you don't believe me then take it from them:
""Love triangle + struggle against the powers that be = perfect ... escape.""

Reading In Color

Another new blog added to our list.

About the Blog
 
Reading in Color is a book blog that reviews YA/MG books about people of color (poc). There is a serious lack of books being reviewed by teens that are YA/MG about people of color, I hope my blog is one step closer to filling in this void.


I started Reading in Color after I discovered the wonderful world of book blogs. I loved being able to discuss books with fellow book lovers. But I soon noticed that very few books about POC were being reviewed. I wanted recommendations of YA books about POC, sometimes I got tired of reading about the white norm. So I started this blog to get recommendations about YA POC and share them with others. After all, I couldn't be the only teen of color who felt this way? Since starting my blog, I've been including MG that features POC.

If you review books about POC or you want to start but don't know what to read first, contact me! I'll add you to my blogroll and I'd be happy to send suggestions and links :)

The Impossible Game

http://flukedude.com/theimpossiblegame/

Well, first things first is that the impossible game is in fact NOTimpossible. I have proven this a couple of times through long sleepless nights and a stream of profanity because even though the game might not be impossible like the title says they got it as close as humanly possible. So as a warning there is a certain way to approach this game, and if you are frustrated easily than you can throw any idea of getting this game out the window because this game must be approached with patience, lots of patience. The impossible game only has one level (but you can by two more with the addition of a map pack) but it will take literally weeks of honing your skills, memorization, and reflexes (I have more than 150 hrs of gameplay on my copy + map pack)to finally beat it the game has only one button yet (especially for beginners) the only thing you will hear for a long time is the same 3 seconds of music than the "phewww" of the sound bite that plays when you die and you will become very tired of hearing it but, that only adds to the euphoria you will experience when you FINALLY get past that one spot that kills you over and over and over only to die again almost immediately after but thats the way the game works and if you can't calmly start again then you just ain't cut out for the game.

DEADMAU5 -MUSIC

Deadmau5, a canadian house/trance/rave artist would be an amazing addition to anyone's ipod. if you like progressive trance, you'll love deadmau5. and its pronounced as "dead-mouse" not "dead-mau-five". I highly recommend you look up his debut album "random album title"
