Terrier by Tamora Peirce

Sorry it has been SO LONG since my last post. Girls camp and straight on to finals week (tis the season to be jolly. Anyways, this book is one that I finished a while ago, and just loved! It is about a girl named Beka Cooper who wants to become a Guards woman (the guards are known of as Dogs) for her city, and is assigned (at her request) to the slums. As a Dog in training (a Puppy) she discoverers that her ability to communicate with ghosts of the dead that have been murdered can tip her off about whom to have her Dogs arrest (Puppies aren't allowed to arrest folks). Its the typical hero against overwhelming odds medieval/mystery/action novel, and is (in my opinion) one of the best written books in the world. (WARNING: mild adult content. Not too bad however, because the dialect they speak in has a few different words. Not a good idea for small children about ten and under to read. After that, you may want to preview it.)

The Hunger Games By: Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games takes place far into the future, when The Americas are controlled by one Giant government centered in the Capital as it is called. The rest of the continents are divided into twelve areas that each specialize in a certain industry there used to be thirteen of these provinces, but thirteen was destroyed when the areas tried to revolt against the Capital. After the revolution was subdued, the Hunger games were introduced by the capital to keep the territories in line. The hunger games, broadcast on television take place once a year, and all children twelve to eighteen are required to be in it, with one boy tribute and one girl tribute from each territory. If your name is selected you are shipped off to the Capital, pampered for about two weeks, and then put into an arena with the other tributes, and forced by the gamemakers to fight to the death, until only one competitor survives. This is the world Katniss Everdeen is used to living in every day of her life. She feels that one day soon, her luck will run out and she will be selected for the hunger games. What she is entirely unprepared for however, is for her younger sister Prim (short for Primrose) to be called to the hunger games. Panic stricken that her sister will die, she volunteers to take her sisters place and save her. The rest of the book is about her experience at the Hunger Games. This book is officially my favorite book at the moment, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little romance in their literature.

Changing my background.

Ok people, could you please tell me EXACTLY what you think? Thanks!

Ok, more randomness...

I found this picture on a Lion King fanart website and I thoght it was adoreable. The storyline is that The cub you see at the end of the first Lion King is Nala and Simba's first cub (Kopa). But when he was still little, Zira (the evil lioness from the sencond Lion King) killed him, thus explaining the exiled lions. This picture is of Kopa with his Grandparents watching the presentation of his sister, Kiara.

His comment right then, according to the artist is:"Look, I have a little sister! That's my little sister! Grandpa, Grandma, I'm a big brother!"
