Your Daily Dose of Chinty



There you go.

Updates

I'm going through a new phase: sewing. It's what I've come up with to find something to do. Since it's nearing the end of the year, our teachers are running out of ideas for projects, so we just kind of dawdle around in class, which is fine with me. Anyway.

I don't know if you can call it a phase, actually, since that's all I've made so far.

I've Been Busy (Not Really)

I finished this book recently and decided it would be good to put down my thoughts about it, since it's been talked about a lot.

The book is about two twins, Josh and Sophie Newman, who discover that the bookseller that Josh works for is actually the immortal Nicholas Flamel. Flamel and his wife, Perenelle, are the guardians of the Book of Abraham, which is a collection of magical spells, prophecies, and various other things. When the evil Dr. John Dee finds Flamel, he attacks and steals the book. Josh and Sophie help Flamel in recovering it, but are soon hunted by Dee as well.

I thought the book was a little boring, especially in the beginning. The characters don't really have strong personalities, so it's kind of hard to connect with them. (Listen to me, acting like I actually know stuff.) The story is interesting though, once you get about halfway through the book.

Apparently it's being turned into a movie, so we'll see how that goes.



This is the most recent book in my new favorite series. It's the sixth book, and there are still more to come. This one only just came out on March 10, I think. I'm not sure on that date. Maybe it was the ninth. I read this entire book in about four hours. Anyway, this entire series is amazing. I was a little skeptical about it at first, but now I can't wait till the next one comes out! Hurry up, James Patterson! It's been over a month since this one came!

Anyway.

They're making a movie for this series as well. I think it comes out 2013, so there's still a wait. It's rumored that the director for the Twilight movies is going to direct it, and Kristen Stewart and what's-his-face-Pattinson are going to play the two main characters. Kristen I have no problem with, but that stupid vampire guy? Nononononononononono! Robert playing Fang could quite possibly be the worst thing that could happen.

Ahem. Continuing. So now I'm going to start reading The Magician, which is the second Nicholas Flamel book.

A Change In Thought

Remember earlier, when I talked about The Angel Experiment? Yeah, and I said I wasn't sure whether I like it or not. Well, after finishing the fifth book, I've reached a verdict: I am in love with them(not too surprising, considering the amount of books that I am in love with). The sixth one came out recently, and I've put it on hold at my school library for now. So.

Fizzle To Da Shizzle, Yo

'Sup?

For Your Enjoyment

The Angel Experiment, from the Maximum Ride series, is about a girl named Maximum Ride who is only 98% human. The other 2% is bird. She was made at a place called the School, where they do several types of animal testing. She and the Flock (five other children like her) escaped from there and are now living in the woods, in hiding from the Erasers, who are wolf-like creatures that work for the School and have been hunting them down. Soon, the youngest of the Flock is captured by the Erasers and taken back to the School. So she and the Flock journey back to the place they hate most to rescue her.

I love this book and I hate it at the same time. If that makes any sense. It's much different than anything else I've read. I'm sort of confused as to what I think about it. Some parts of the actual story are simply so annoying that I can't get over them, and yet I can't stop reading. I know I'll end up reading the rest of the series anyway.
