Books> The Hunger Games

Hi, everyone! I just started this new-ish series called The Hunger Games. It's pretty good. I read the whole thing and I really liked it. But sometimes you don't want to read it because you're afraid who's gonna' die next. Besides, it's totally unpredictable. Not to mention you freak out when something bad happens. Its ten times worse when you're like me. When I read a book I'm not just reading it, I'm in it. So when something like that happens it freaky! Anyway, its only a trilogy and they are already out. I got a great deal on the box-set on Walmart's website. Yes, they are hard back. It's pretty good but no hints you can look it up to decide what you would want. Here are the three books: #1 The Hunger Games, #2 Catching Fire, #3 Mockingjay. I happen to like them a lot. They are pretty clean. BUT! Its super gory! SUPER GORY! IMAGINATION PEOPLE, BBBBEEEEWWWAAARRREEE!!! But it can still be SUPER exciting. I highly recommend it to people with a need for action/excitement in there lives. This will take care of any craving for something other than your boring life you will ever have.

Nancy Drew: Super Mystery's

Yes! Everyone I do know that Nancy Drew is mainly all I talk about, but besides the super mystery's I'm really not reading much else! It feels like people are trying to starve me from good books! And lately the library has been totally against me. For a while it was closed because their putting in like a Town Hall right next to it so you couldn't get to the library AT ALL. And that lasted about two weeks! I know AAAAHHHH! Then the last time we went the power was out (although I could have checked out some books, but I didn't have the strength to go any farther into that pitch black building). Okay! Back to books.

Just recently I just found a new books series much like the new books. In fact it's the same exact stuff as the new books just a little bit different cover. They're the Nancy Drew: Super Mystery's. The only problem is the first one. I didn't really like it because Nancy's 2 friends narrate for her. Evidently Bess, George, & Ned have to find her. Well, there is almost no plot! And every time they try to find her/Nancy it's a dead end. And when they do finally figure it out they're almost TOO LATE!!! I mean I figured it out at like the 5th chapter. I mean they were actin' like a bag of rocks!!! I know I might be overreacting but it really didn't satisfy my need to ND. The next one did! I really liked it, and I think it's funny because George gets her wisdom teeth out! He, he! Anyway, I really liked them. Although their are only three but I will still name them: 1. Where's Nancy? 2. Once Upon a Crime 3. Real Fake (isn't that a kinda' rhetorical name?) Anyway, I'm babbling and that means I need to stop.

ANNOUNCEMENT! All the Libby G. People! Time to get back on the Generation Train! It's school time now so summer vacation is (YES) OVER! So we'd better start and I'll try to fill in here and there but I now that our school has started I have a pretty busy schedule! But I'll still try!

Books- Alex Rider #2

Yup, I'm writing about Alex Rider...again. Well, I decided to write about it again because I'm rereading them. I already read the whole series but I decided to write again. Anyway, at this moment I'm reading Snakehead. It's really exciting and is amazingly written. I love they way it's written! But Snakehead is a really good book. I'm on chapter 10 (my book marks there). Chapter 9 is so freaky, evidently he's trying escape from _________ (to find out what it is you have to read it) and he had to go under a lakeside building. He ends up being surrounded but of all creature...RATS!!! I forget what exact kind of rats but that's gross! It makes me cringe every time I think about it. Some stuff is really exciting, and some stuff makes me want to gag. It's just an amazing!

Books- Wingin' It ;)

Hi! Now that the cat's out of the bag I don't need to keep as much of my opinions to myself. I actually have almost zero ideas stored in my brain. That's why the title of the book post is called "Wingin' It". So at least I don't have to worry about my idea's being opinionated.

Anyway, I think I have some sort of idea of what I'm gonna' write about. The books I read! I have to write all about what L!bby (love the ! Caitlin) reads well I'm gonna' write about what I read. :)
Nancy Drew- I think I've covered most of the stuff like that. So I'll sorta' skip over it. :)
Alex Rider- I talked 2 much about that too.
School Stuff- Now this I just hate to talk about but I must. My mom decided that for next year she is gonna' try new curriculum for homeschooling. So, she said that for History she is gonna' pick out a book 4 me 2 read. Then I'm gonna' have 2 write a report on it. Fine, except I'm reading a book (4 History) called *drum roll (please)* "Strawberry Girl". My mom said I would like it. I don't like the book I just like the time it takes out of my regular school.
Anything on ma' bookshelf- Now that's a subject to talk about. I get bored so when I am I look for something "on ma' bookshelf". I have read a "Winnie the Pooh" books (I still want 2 be a child again). They are the old fairy tales. I have re-read Caddie Woodlawn, highly recommended! It's old fashioned fun.
Left Behind (Adult Series)- I think they are okay-ish. Kind of boring. I have them all except 4 a couple so I'm well versed. They just seem boring 2 me. So I think I'm gonna' try the teen ones.

Well, I think that about sums it up. Let's hope! I just am glad I had the time.

Make-Up Books> Thursday

Hey, sorry I didn't write yesterday. I was temporarily grounded from the computer. But we will have our tid-bits of politics. So thanks for waiting for the books. You all are so patient. :-)



Alex Rider! That's what we are talking about. I didn't have time 2 write last week either so that's a tiny problem. I did tell U all a little bit about it. So here I go into detail. Here are the books in order:

1. StormBreaker


2. PointBlank


3. Skeleton Key


4. Eagle Strike


5. Scorpia


6. Ark Angel


7. Snake Head


8. Crocodile Tears

I only have the first and eighth. But still that's pretty good. Alex Rider is about a young boy who ran into bad luck. His parents die in a mysterious plane crash (More to it in #8) and his uncle dies (#1). He ends up finding out that his uncle worked for the alleged MI6. He ends up being drafted and works for them all 8 times. But most of the time he doesn't want two. They force him, blackmail him, & trick him into working for them. It's really exciting. Some adult content in it so be weary. But wonderfully written. It's so exciting. You find out tons more about his past. It's so fun I give it 4 1/2 stars. It would have gotten all five if it didn't have the adult content but still it's pretty good.

Nancy Drew

Okay, everyone knows Nancy Drew. Well, most of the people I know. Almost everyone knows about Nancy Drew. She is like a book legacy! She is the best female amateur detective known. I actually have not heard of any others but still. Nancy Drew actually lost her mother when she was between 3 & 7 years of age. I've actually heard both ages mentioned in the death of her mother. Her father, Carson Drew, is one of the best lawyers in River Heights, where she lives.

But someone likes to argue about that. If you read the more recent books there is a girl called Deirdre Shannon. In case you don't get the picture she is like a spoiled snob and her father also is a lawyer but , unlike Mr. Drew, will stoop to many petty things to win his case. Deirdre has caused many troubles for Nancy throughout her life in the newer books. She isn't exactly a good person to have around, not to mention her huge crush on Ned.

Ned Nickerson, is Nancy Drew's steady boy-friend. He has helped her out through numerous mysteries sometimes he catches on to some things too. He has always been there for Nancy throughout any of her mysteries. He always is there along with his friends Burt Eddelton & Dave Evans. Who actually go out with Nancy's two friends George Fayne & Bess Marvin.
They always talk about how different they (George and Bess) are, not to mention them being cousins. It just sounds strange having George (her real name is Georgia) be all tomboy-ish and loving techy stuff, and Bess (that is really her real name) is all prissy but has a secret love for cars, and is actually an amazing mechanic. She loves tinkering with cars in the newer books but in the older books her and George don't have those special interests. All in all, Nancy's life is pretty much like in a book even though when you read it you feel likes she's just looking over your shoulder.

Books vs. TV! Which is better?

Okay, now this is a hot topic. No one really knows for sure what's better TV or books. I know TV isn't that good for you, and books is good for you (at times) but I never really know which is better. Some people like techno stuff some people like book stuff. But it's hard to tell which is better. Okay, since I almost forgot to blog today I'm going to do something a little bit different. Instead of telling you my opinion (I'll do that later actually) I'm going to ask yours. So I'm going to make a poll and you can vote on it! If you even want to voice your opinion even more you can comment!

Okay, I already told you that I like both. I like TV and Books. I like shows, movies, and such. Some are good some are bad. And it's exactly the same with books, some are good and some are bad. You can't really say much else that everyone can agree on. And I'm not saying it so everyone can agree on it, I just don't really know which to pick. So that's mine. Now what's yours?

Books, On Old & New

The reason that I decided to talk about old books and new books is because I think it is high time to talk about old books compared to new ones. Okay so here it goes:



New books. This blog is called "I Am The Next Generation" so if anyone read that they would think of new stuff. But I don't mind the new stuff it's really neat the new stuff. They have all the newest gadgets and stuff. Like you don't see lighsabers in Romeo & Juliet. But it's so much more exciting to actually understand most of the stuff you're talking about. You can relate to most of the stuff they talk about. Because if there talking about electronics you are going to understand about iPods, iPhones, & other neat electronics. But when they talk about writing stuff on their slates your first thought is "what in the world is a slate?!" It's a regular thing because most of the time they talk about stuff in the old books is hard to understand because (most of us) we weren't born then. So that's why the newer books have both pros and cons.



Old books. Old books bring back the stuff you remember when your little. It also brings back the history of the years long gone. If you want to do some homework for your history classes you could try looking on "the impossible Internet" or go to your local library and check out a book. It isn't even that hard. You can even order stuff of the library on the Internet. But the new stuff. If everyone talked about the future and stuff we wouldn't be able to understand anything because everyone would be planning ahead that no one would teach you. It is also even good for just plane old entertainment. If you like old there is plenty of books to read about that have excitement, romance, adventure, & etc. It is so much fun (sometimes) to learn about the past and learn about the old frontier, the Renaissance, & and all the wonderful times of the year. It is sometimes the only way to go. That is why older books also have pros and cons.



Whew! That took a little more time than I expected, but it's true almost everything has pros and cons. And they also have fun stuff about them and not-so-fun stuff about them. We just need to sort the not-so-fun stuff out because if we don't we'll just throw away everything, including the fun stuff. WOW!! I'm starting to sound like a fortune cookie, I better go before it gets really bad.
