Reading Log

As a result of multiple recommendations from multiple friends, I divulged into the Percy Jackson series. I made it to about page 160 this week which is quite a bit more than my usual reading. So far it is a very interesting book and it hooked me right away. I saw the movie a while ago and the book definitely out does the movie. There are much more action scenes and plot strengthening sequences that entrance me much more than the movie. Stella slept through my reading for most of the week so she must be bored by the book but hopefully she'll wake up for this week.

I finished the last hunger games book today on my way home from a soccer game. I really can't decide if I like the ending or not. I like how she ended up with Peeta but I really thought there was gonna be something more at the end. Something drastic like Katniss being elected president or something. I also didn't like how Finnick died. I thought he was a great character and one of my favorites. I didn't get the chance to read to my chinchilla this week unfortunately but she could probably use a break from the attention anyways.

Well it seems like I have done a million of these posts and the year will never end but I keep moving along trying to accomplish these goals. But instead of starting some non fiction book I finished Catching Fire and started Mockingjay. The ending of Catching fire was so surprising. I didn't see it coming at all. But I do not know if I really liked it or not though. It ended a little to abruptly when I was hoping for a little bit more. I'm worried that Mockingjay might not have very much action too and it might be boring. But I guess I will have to read more to find out.

So I never thought I would get so entranced in the Hunger Game Series to have 300 pages of the second book read in less than a week. I'm not sure what it is - probably the suspense of the action scenes and the games - that force me to keep the book focused in front of my face and to wipe away the sleep from my dreary eyes. I did continue to read in front of my chinchilla and I think maybe she is starting to like all the attention. But as I get further and further into the Hunger Games Series, I get farther and farther away from completing my goal of reading more diverse things.

Well spring break went great maybe not in terms of my reading  accomplishments but in terms of overall enjoyment. I did finish the hunger games over break and very quickly i might add. It has been a while since   I have actually been entranced by a book like that. But then that simple happiness was lost by the required reading of 1984. I mean it really wasn't that bad of a book but I think there is just something about having to read it for school instead of for fun that just kills the whole point it reading. Maybe its the quiz i know I am going to have to take tomorrow during fifth period, or just the fact that I am going to have to discuss the themes and write an essay on a book that I didn't even know had a theme. Oh well, I did accomplish my two book over spring break goal, though.

Well here starts a new quarter and my new goals as well. I completed my first goal this week as I definitely enjoyed reading to my chinchilla. I didn't really think she was listening though. I'm reading the hunger games right now and she must be a team peeta because every time I said his name she would crawl all over the book. I don't know yet because i still have quite a bit to read, but i am definitely engaged by this book. Even though it started out a little slow, it is starting to pick up as the action increases.  I'm definitely procrastinating on goal number 2 though.
