Rachel (aka. Kaiserin Sisi) (looney-lovegood) | 592 comments I haven't posted here is quite a while...

Anyways, I just finished reading Unwind, which was very good. For me, it was one of those couldn't-put-down books. :D

And I just started Their Eyes Were Watching God for school today. I'm finding it rather confusing at the moment, which is really annoying. :P


message 420: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) RACHEL!
*hugs*

I had to read Their Eyes were Watching God too...the dialogue confused me :/


Rachel (aka. Kaiserin Sisi) (looney-lovegood) | 592 comments AMELIA!
*hugs back*

Ok, glad to know it's not that I'm dumb or anything like that. ;)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments So.... I'm STILL rereading Pride and Prejudice, and STILL reading Becoming Jane Austen... I have less and less time to read the closer it gets to May 7...

May 7th?


message 425: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments I'm taking AP (Advanced Placement) European History this year, and May 7 is my big-gigantic-I-get-college-credit-if-I-pass-it test for AP Euro. So I've basically been studying during my normal reading time so I pass. I really wanna pass. If nothing else, I want to prove to this year's juniors that it IS possible to pass.


message 426: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey | 505 comments That sounds like alot of work! I'm sure it's worth it though.

I'm reading Israels Hope and Expectation for school. It's a historical fiction about the life of one of the shepards that the angels come to at the time of Christ's birth.

Lindsey | 505 comments True, but he has a personality I would kind of like better than Peeta I think (even though Peeta is really sweet)... xD

YAY REGAN!!!!

Team Peeta all the way, and Finnick is awesome!


message 429: by [deleted user] (new)

TEAM PEETA ALL THE WAY GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- japanese movie (SO GOOD) that the americans are currently re-making T_T
AND i can't buy the orginal from most stores because they've FREAKEN STOPED SELLING IT!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


message 430: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod

message 431: by [deleted user] (new)

it's an old japanese movie (but it's REALLY REALLY good- diffantly a classic)- SOOOOOOO good.
But no offense to any americans here- but holly wood as a set record of stuffing up asian remakes!!!

As an American, I'm not offended by that. Hollywood also seems incapable of making a decent adaptation of a book...

The Warrior Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima, has a similar premise..."teenagers having to fight each other and there's one left standing."

Good luck! I took that one last year! This year, I'm taking the US History one that morning.


message 434: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments Thanks, Rachel! Good luck on yours this year!

is it any good???


message 436: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments The Warrior Heir? Yeah, I liked it. A bit hard to get into, though. My brother had them for months before I read them...he still hasn't.


message 437: by [deleted user] (new)

really- battle royale is quite old and was a book before a movie.
I'm SOOOOOO PISSED OFF!!!
i've been trying to track down the movie for EVA but everyone always has only had the second one.
then... finally- i went into order it at jb-hi-fi
and they said the actual production of the dvd had stopped
T_T
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
but i can just get it off the internet or so :D


oh oh oh-



but battle royale is a manga, a movie and a book ;D
so good... then hollywood found it
O~O

really- come on.
If you were making a furtune off a book, and you had stolen the idea from a japense movie but recreated it for teenagers...
do you really think you would tell the world you that????
but naa- stealing ideas is what authors do...
i should no ;)


message 439: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments I still need to read The Hunger Games.

What do you think of I Am the Messenger, Jillian?


message 440: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Jillian -always aspiring- wrote: "(Also -- you should really read The Hunger Games, if only just the first one to see how you may like it. ;) ) "

Yes, I know :)
I'm waiting for my library to get it back. Then I have to go to the library. Or buy it...

But, it is on my must-read-very-soon list.

That is really intresting and cool, thanks! I have never heard that before, but now I can see the resemblance you are talking about with history and Mythology.


message 443: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) My grandma is reading THE HUNGER GAMES right now - she's my "beta tester" :D

Check your local Barnes and Noble! Some (maybe all...I'm not sure how many) have released it early! I just got it yesterday. :D

I've tried to get my family members to read books, including the Hunger Games. No luck. My dad is the only one, besides me, who reads, and he likes murder mysteries and court books, not YA novels. :P I have gotten one of my friends to read Gone, and both she and her mom loved it! Now, I'm getting her to read Hunger Games. :D

So am I! Except, it is like me :)


message 446: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments Haha, same... I'm reading 2 library books that're due in 2 weeks, but I also have my AP test a week from today... Luckily I have 2 6-hour car rides before they're due.


message 447: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments That's a lot of hours in a car...why?

I picked up The Count of Monte Cristo again. It's way overdue...

I'm also rereading The Fellowship of the Rings and getting ready to reread The Two Towers...


message 448: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments I'm driving to Los Angeles from AZ for my uncle's wedding... 6 hours there, 6 hours back. Lots of reading time.

I finally got Hitchhiker's Guide, and I have to finish Becoming Jane Austen.

YAY CoMC!!! Wondrous book, that.


message 449: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Wow.

Yay!

I'm still not very far into it...


message 450: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (taylorjaylene) | 4557 comments CoMC is amazing, no matter how far into it you are. ;)
