Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Hello everyone! So I have continued the Hunger Games series, and I hope you have too!

Katniss and Peeta are back in the second book, and they need to stay "under the radar." The stunt Katniss pulled with the berries in the arena could affect Peeta, her friends, and family in terrible ways. There is no hiding now. President Snow tells Katniss to make sure that everyone is convinced that the "star-crossed lovers" are in fact, still in love. The Victory Tour that Katniss and Peeta go on could also affect their audience in ways unimaginable.

The Hunger Games are also back with the Quarter Quell, which marks another twenty-five years of the Hunger Games. Every Quarter Quell is played differently than the traditional Games. This year is the seventy-fifth Hunger Games, so some twist is in store.

In this book, the plot leads you into one direction, and then takes a swift turn into another. So many cliffhangers are used in this book, which makes it hard to stop reading. The ending will draw you into the last book in the trilogy, which hasn't come out yet. Once it does, if you are like me, you will want to get your hands on that story!

Enjoy reading!

Changes

So now you are looking at my blog in utter confusion and are wondering what happened. I honestly don't blame you. I have not posted about school and my "exciting" day for a long time, so I decided to keep this blog strictly to my book summaries/reviews. The new name I have inspired by my Twitter account, SeaOfAngela (feel free to follow if you please) and it is a little random. I tried Sea Of Reading, but somebody already had the URL. Oh well. So this is my blog. And guess what! I made a Twitter for the blog! Yay!!! So I hope you like the new blog and the Twitter!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Hi everybody! So after the Percy Jackson series, I read the first book in The Hunger Games trilogy. In case you can't figure out the title, it's The Hunger Games. I really liked this book, and I have the second one, so that will be my next post. I hear that Suzanne Collins' last book has not come out yet, but when it does, don't worry, I will write about it, too.

So in what used to be known as North America are twelve districts. There used to be thirteen, but well, some things happened....Anyways, some of the districts are pretty well off, with food and nice things. Others, not so much. District 12 does not have much, and this is where Katniss (aka Catnip) is from. She lives with her mother and younger sister, Prim. Katniss' father died a few years back from a coal mine explosion, and things have never been the same.

Every child aged twelve through eighteen enters their name in a bowl for participation in a 'little game' to remind everyone that the Capitol has control. There are two bowls in each district, one for boys and one for girls. Every year, one name is picked from every bowl in the district, having a total of twenty-four names. These twenty-four people become tributes for the Hunger Games.

During the Hunger Games, the twenty-four tributes battle against each other in an arena for survival. Their battle is broad casted to every district for those at home to watch. There are not many rules in the games. The most important is that the last living tribute is the winner.

Katniss has entered her name multiple times in the District 12 bowl. The more you enter your name, the more tesserae you will receive. This puts you at a disadvantage because now, you have a better chance of being a tribute. BAD THING. Katniss is worried about her friend and herself because their names are entered multiple times. Katniss doesn't even worry about her sister, Prim, who entered her name once. The odds are not in her favor on this day. Prim is chosen as a tribute. Katniss volunteers herself so her sister would not need to participate in the Games. This is a very unlikely occurrence. The boy chosen is Peeta Mellark.

What will happen to the two? Will Katniss ever make it home to her sister and mother?

Let the odds be ever in your favor!!!

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: Book Five: The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

Hello everyone!!!!! I have finally finished the Percy Jackson series, but I will admit, I'm going to miss it. =[ I have been reading the series since December (I think) and it will feel different to read another book. This was my absolute favorite book in the series! I hope you all like(d) it as much as I did!

So Percy is back for the last time and the prophecy involving a sixteen year old demigod and Kronos is coming true!!! Kronos and his army are invading Manhattan and it is up to the half-bloods to put a stop to him. However, Kronos seems to know the demigods' weaknesses because a spy has been keeping him posted. The spy is a camper at Camp Half-Blood. Who would do this? Throughout the book, some try to warn Percy of what will happen, and twists and turns occur everywhere. Some play unsuspecting roles in the war that could change everything. And who is the Last Olympian??? Will Kronos get Percy to surrender to him?

And by the way, what most of you wanted to happen in the first book happens in the last book =]

Enjoy reading!!!!
