The new kindle fire
eBook reader

Fencer6 here with a blog talking about the kindle and ebooks overall. eBooks are definitely turning into more of a reality each day, beginning to leave books behind. I mean, who wants to carry around hundreds of books, when you can put them all in 6 ounces? And even if you don't have a kindle, you'd be surprised how many other devices you can put them on, like iPods, iPads, iPhones, and even your computer. Almost every author is putting their books into eBooks, with around 1,658,982 books, and the number is growing. In fact, many libraries are starting to have online ebook check outs.

Rick Riordran

Hey everyone. Today I'm here to talk about one of my favorite authors, Rick Riordan, who has written about four different sires, with a total of 23 books! Most of his books (my favorite) are based off of mythology, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian. He finds great ways to mix the old myths with modern technology. I personally think his books are amazing, and I'm still reading them! Their great, and he releases them really fast. Overall, I think he's one of the best authors of the 21 century! I suggest his books for anyone who can read (which I guess you can)!

It's time for a beaver

Fencer6 here with a review of the sign of the beaver. Honestly, I think it's a pretty good book. The whole time you're just itching to know if Matt's father and family get back. The thing that I don't like about this book is that it does have a slower plot pace, but the anticipation of his family returning will cover most of the bad. I have to admit, though, it has a bit of a sad ending. Overall, I think if you have extra time on your hands, this is a book you might want to check out.
Hope you like it,

The Mark of Athena

The Mark of Athena  is the 3rd in The Heroes of Olympus series. It is being released on October 2nd 2012! Here's the description straight from Rick Riordan's website.

Coming Oct. 2, 2012. 

Page count: 580

Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athenais an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare. . . .
