It's draft #1 for March. And because I've been to lazy to check the post numbers. Yup, I've been listening to FeintDnb. And sorry about my absence/lack of posting last week, I was busy with my other classes. Also, I don't know if I've mentionsed this before, but there is this really awesome book website I go on constantly called Goodreads. The membership is free and the site's a ton of fun. Google it sometime and check it out.
Book: Hunger Games (book assignment)
Author: Susan Collins
Pages: 1-171
Icon: Details
So far in the Hunger Games, Katniss, the main character, has been plucked out of her home in District 12, dragged across the country to the Capitol, beatufied and then finally chucked into the arena that will be her home for the Hunger Games. The arena appears(no, sounds like, since it's not exactly a visual book) as a forest surrounding the Golden Cornucopia, the center of the Games. It's a lush, woodland forest full of beauty, mystery and death. Of course there's death; it's the Hunger Games, who doesn't love a bloodbath (me)? In the forest there is life as well as death. Rabbits and birds for hunting, which just so happens to be Katniss' specialty, water for drinking (though Katniss had trouble finding any at first) and basically anything needed for survival in the forest.
Who's ready for the Hunger Games movie????

Not listening to FeintDnb right now. It's Caramelldansen IOSYS remix. :)
Book: Throne of Fire
Author: Rick Riordan
Pages: 1-73

When comparing Carter and Sadie Kane, they couldn't be more different. At least, not directly.
First off, Sadie is a girl and Carter is a boy (kind of obvious) . Sadie is from England, and Carter is from America (not so obvious since Sadie is starting to lose her accent). Sadie is far more cynnical and picky than Carter, which could be since she's a girl. She's also far more emotional than Carter at times, except in the case of Zia, a magician who is Carter's love interest. And now to discuss Carter's differences. Carter is a bit slow at things compared to Sadie, but he's definitely not as hot-headed. And he's in love with Zia, the girl I mentioned earlier. That's kind of his flaw.

Status: Too much history; not enough time to read! >-<
Guess what I'm listening to.
Book: The Last Olympian
Author: Rick Riordan
Pages: 195-254
Icon: Patterns
Over all the battles so far in The Last Olympian, usually one has been won by the half-blood army and then the next one won by the Titan's army. There has almost never been a double defeat/victory for either side, giving that each side comes more prepared than the others at times. Besides that, both sides are constantly losing their own; Percy's army loses half-bloods, and the Titan army loses monsters (though half-bloods only have one life; monsters come back just whenever.).
One constant for Percy's side is that all his campers ride from completely inspired to totally hopeless and dull. Since the Titan's army is not exactly the point of the story, I can't really say anything about how his army's morale is. I'll leave it up to you. ;)

That's the right number, isn't it? Listening to FeintDnb again~

Book: The Last Olympian
Author: Rick Riordan
Pages: 143-194

When Percy sees Luke's past with his family, he immediately knows what was wrong with Luke's mother, and maybe why Luke turned on them. For example, Luke keeps getting angry with his father because he claims he left Luke alone with his mother, May Castellan. May has gone insane from a failed attempt at becoming the next Oracle of Delphi; she will go from a loving but off mother to a green-eyed, phrophecy-hissing madwoman. Luke was forced to live with that growing up, and so he is resentful towards Hermes because of it.
Books to read sometime in the future: Throne of Fire, The Lost Hero, Divergent. Any suggestions? Leave a comment!

Ah, the good and bad sides of Percy's family. We all love them (we kind of have to) and we all have our moments when we get seriously pissed off at them. For example....
"'Indeed," Hades agreed. 'I'd love to kill him.'" (Riordan, 123) (FYI in this scene Percy is getting pwned)
and then
"He was immortal. There was no way I could kill him, but gods can be wounded. I knew that firsthand, and I figured a sword in the face wouldn't feel too good." (Riordan, 138) (FYI in this scence Hades is getting pwned)
There are moments when the gods get on your nerves; I didn't like it when they all tried to kill Percy. But then there are the moments when you've got to love the gods too, like whenever Percy totally beats the crap out of them. The gods are also extremely helpful to Percy (they can be) and will give their kids freaking awesome powers, like being able to control the sea, or being able to have extreme knowledge. On the other hand, gods can be very easy to tick off, so they kill to get their revenge....
I don't know, it all depends on your point of view! This is just how I compare them!
