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.

Percy's back!

The Son of NeptunePercy’s been in months of slumber. Just like Jason from the last book, he's had his memory wiped by Juno (or Hera, whatever) and has been sent to another camp, camp Jupiter, a roman camp, to unite the Greeks and Romans.  He's also got new friends at his side, and he's going to need all the help he can get. They have been sent to unleash the god of death, Death, since without him the demigod’s enemies cannot die and just continue to re-form, although the demigod’s can’t say the same for themselves.     They also have to get past the newly re-born giants, eventually to try to defeat the evil earth goddess in later books who basically wants to destroy all human civilization, all within one week. That’s what the new book, The Son of Neptune is all about.

I love this book and I’m sure you will too. Rick Riordran. does a great job mixing the myths of old with modern technology. Such as saying the amazon warriors from Greece run Amazon, the online shopping service. He creates his own world of demigods such as Percy and monsters as if it’s right behind our backs. Its action packed and funny, and practically no moment is dull! They face a lot of challenges along the way like the giant born to kill Hades. The only problem is he’s immortal in his birthplace, Alaska.

Once you begin you can’t seem to stop reading, always wanting to know what happens next. I think this book is great and I recommend this to anyone who likes adventure, or who just likes a good story. Trust me, it’s a great book!

Rick Riordran

My PhotoHey 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)!
Click here to check out his website!
Hope you check out his books!

Skylanders

Fencer6 here with a review of the Skylanders video game. Depending on who you ask, some might say that this game is kind of old, since it has been out for almost a year. In fact, they've already came out with a sequel, Skylanders Giants, but it's still a great game. The big thing that makes it unlike most any other game is that your character is a figurine that you put on a stand, to activate it in the game. Even though it's been out for a while, I still think it's a great game. What you do is you go on "quests" and you try to find these, things to fix the "core of light" this thing that protects skylands (now that I think about it, it's kind of hard to explain) and you goal is to fix it to fend off the darkness, blah,blah,blah. I think that it's action packed and lots of fun. Plus, if you get in a really bad jam on a level, there are always more skylanders to collect to help you on some of the harder levels.

Hope you think it's cool!
