Told 'ya I'd be back later! Still dragging out Northanger Abbey...
Book: Northanger Abbey
Author: Jane Austen
Pages:44-100 (woohoo! Quota reached!))
Icon: Ethics (I think...)
This post will be about our protagonist's (Catherine's) best friend in the city of Bath. Her name is Isabella and she is around Catherine's age (I don't believe it specifies in the book). Like Catherine, she finds great entertainmaent in dark, mysterious novels, and is thus greatly compatible with her friend on that level. On the other hand, Isabella can be quite annoying, seeing as she must have Catherine with her at all times, but will often desert her at a formal party or dance. For example, at one point in the story Catherine is torn between taking a carriage ride with Isabella and her brother, and meeting her other friend's sister. Isabella at first tries to convince Catherine to go with them by using sweet tactics and when Catherine refuses her words turn nasty.
At least, Isabella can be a bit annoying to me. :D

Reading Log Post # 3 & 4
Combining the stuff together because I'm too lazy to post them separately. I'm still doing the Hunger Games, so be patient.
Book: Hunger Games
Author: Susanne Collins
Pages: 171-297
Icons: Details/Big Ideas
Details: Katniss has made and lost an alliance in the arena already. She's worked with Rue, a small but agile and very knowledgable tribute from 11. Rue was her partner until a boy from District 1 decided to kill her. As she died, Katniss sang her a song that spoke of a place of peace and safety. Later it was announced that if two tributes were to survive through the whole Games, then they would be allowed to live. She's been with Peeta ever since, trying to find a way to keep the both of them alive.
Big Idea: The Hunger Games were created to remind the twelve districts of Panem that they are weak, weaker than the great Capitol, which boasts incredible technology, defenses and knowledge. Each district must send in one boy and one girl to the Games, and then these tributes are thrown into an arena where the citizens of the Capitol will watch as they simultaniously kill eachother. And none of the districts can do anything about it.
