Blog Entry #2

I got a new book. The book is the 2nd Hunger Games by Suzzanne Collins. I chose this book because I read the first book and really liked and now that the  new movie came out I want to read the book to see what details they did and didn't portrey in the movie vs the book. I also chose this book because I like how the author writes and how she makes the characters and describes the setting/organizises the book. In this book even though I haven't got into very far into the book I think I can make a few predictions about what will happen in the future. One thing that I think will come up in the further of the book is something bad is going to happen to the main character or character's, another thing that I think is going to happen is theres going to be more difficulties in the arena and the competitors will be stronger and tougher than the ones from the previous books.
  
A reader who likes reading exicting and thrilling books would enjoy this novel. Even though im only about 50 pgs in, I already really like the book and how the author exicutes what is happening and the details in the book and plan on reading the entire series. For anyone who has read any of the three books which one was your favorite?

Summer Reading Project

     For my summer reading project I read the book Mr.Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. The book was a fun and I enjoyed reading it. In the book there are many turns and twists in the story that kept me intrested in the book all the way through. I would recomend it to anyone looking for a good read and looking for a story of mystery. Now a summary of the book.
     In the book there are a few main characters: Clay, Kat, Oliver, Corvina, and Mr.Penumbra. There are also many minor characters such as Clay's roommates and the people who were trying to solve the founders puzzle (The puzzle to get into the Unbroken Spines). In the begin of the book Clay was trying to find a job and walked past the bookstore and saw the sign saying "Help Wanted." He went in and got the job and was assigned the night shift. At first he though that were he was working was a normal book store, but soon realized it was much much more; Clay relized that there were only three people that ran the book store Him, Oliver, and Penumbra. He also relized that only certain people came into the bookstore the so-called members, every once in a while a random person would come in but usally not get anything and one night a girl came in, her name was Kat, this is the first time the two main charaters met. Eventually the started dating and worked together to solve a giant mystery no one thought they could solve by just using a computer. After they solve a the Founders Puzzle Mr. Penumbra gets summoned to the Unbroken Spines H.Q. In NYC. The Unbroken Spines was a underground organization that lots of people were involed with. Clay and Kat follow after Mr.Penumbra because he left with out telling anyone were he was going so they had to track him down. Once they find him he lets them meet his boss Corvina and was the leader of the Unbroken Spines and they get to read books with very complex puzzles and the ultimate puzzle that no one had ever solved. After all of this happens Clay and Kat again use computers to solve the "Ultimate puzzle". At first Corvina was not happy of how they solved these puzzles but later he accepts that technology will help solve countless puzzles. And thats my summary of my summer reading book.
