This is a look at the books that I am intending to read in September. I've already started on some of them. I'm very excited. It's fun. If I finish them all I'll read something else, but I haven't decided which yet.
People keep saying how amazing this series is, and I
think it’s about time I start reading them. I read another Patrick Ness book,
and it was really good. And I think maybe I should read some more. This is the
first book in the Chaos Walking series. It’s about Todd, who lives in
Prentisstown, a town where everyone can hear everyone else’s thoughts. Todd and
his dog Manchee suddenly stumble upon an area where there is complete silence.
And suddenly everything changes. It sounds really interesting, people say it’s
awesome. So I’ll read that.
I think I got this cause it was a Kindle Deal. It
sounds pretty interesting though. It’s about a girl named Aria who lives in a
sort of sort of protected dome called Reverie. It’s set in the future sometime,
and the people outside the dome are savages. Aria’s mother goes missing and she
wants to find her, because of a crime and then a fire Aria is thrown out of
Reverie. During the fire she meets an outsider named Perry. It sounds cool, it’s
got a lot of different kinds of reviews. It’s exciting.
I feel like this is a book you should read. George
Orwell dude. It’s a book about farm animals who are sick of being under the
control of humans so they revolt and make their own society, but then the pigs
take control and argue that all animals are equal, but some are more equal than
others. It sounds amazing. I like it. Also I like it when I read or watch
something and then suddenly get the references, which is delightful.
I read Graceling last month, it was pretty awesome. I
was pleasantly surprised. This isn’t really a sequel, it’s more of a companion
novel and it’s set before Graceling, as far as I can tell. It’s about a young
woman named Fire who is the last human monster. In this world monsters are
impossibly beautiful creatures who attack regular people. They can sense each
other and they can sense Fire. Fire is basically monster food. She is adored
for her beauty, and hated for her ability to control people. Fire’s father was
advisor to the previous king of her homeland, the Dells, and the two of them
made the country chaotic and evil. Fire is wary of her ability to control
others and she dreads turning into her father, so she has hidden away in the
forest. Then the king’s brother brings her to court to unravel a plot that
might kill the king. Fire realizes she might be able to help and use her powers
for good. I saw some quite hilarious reviews though, which is good. Anyway, I’m
excited.
Read Slaughterhouse-Five recently, Vonnegut is
delightful, I loved it. I need more. I went to the library, and found some.
I’ve never actually heard about this book, which makes me feel kind of horrible
to be honest, but I can’t know about everything. It is about a man named Eugene
who is fired from his job as a college professor and starts working at a
prison, teaching the inmates. Eventually there is a prison break and the
escapees take over Eugene’s old college. It sounds sort of hilarious and
interesting, so it’ll be fun. ALSO: I used the library for the first time in a
very long time, it was awesome.
