It's been a while since I've blogged, but that doesn't mean I haven't been reading! In fact, I have finished around fifteen books since my last post...which means I can't remember them all! But there are a few that really made an impact, such as the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy, which my mom sent me for Christmas. I was so excited to get my hands on Mockingjay, because I loved the first two in the series and I wasn't disappointed. I'm glad they are taking the books to the big screen, because it means that more kids will read the books. The big talk around Hollywood is who will be Katniss, the lead character; much like the Harry Potter books, I think this series will make some young actors into movie stars.
Another book that I read and loved was Cryptonomicon which was a bit of a surprise to me, as it was hard to read. Not only was it long, at over 900 pages, it also had a lot of complex math, such as algorithms! But I got into this one because it went back and forth between World War Two history, cryptology, a modern day treasure hunt, and a little romance, too! It was a good challenge for me to stay focused on something different from what I normally read. I might pick up Snow Crash next, which is by the same author, Neal Stephenson.
