1.       I really loved the Hunger Games  series and the book Grave Mercy. Some other books I liked were the Paranormalcy series, the Body Finder series, Cinder by Marisa Meyer, and Graceling by Kristen Cashore. I loved these books because they had very strong willed female characters that never let other people and their opinions get in there way. The main characters also all have a huge problem that they must overcome. I also like books that have a lot of sarcastic people in it because I think that adds a lot of humor to stories.

 

2.       I like to read fantasy and science fiction because I like the idea of the impossible becoming possible. I also have an very active imagination so I like to think about the appearance of things in books and I think all the unrealistic qualities in these types of books really help it to bring it to life in my head.

 

3.       The book I am reading right now is Prodigy by Marie Lu. This is the sequel to Legend. Right when the book starts of it shows the main characters Day and June escaping from the Republic, the government that they previously lived under. Due to the fact that the know Republic secrets and they escaped from their executions, they are wanted criminals so they must be extra careful or else they will be killed. They are trying to get to the Patriots, a group of rebel revolutionaries that might be able to help them with there biggest problems; day has been shot in the leg, Day’s little brother is being held by the Republic, and Day hopes to find his Patriot friend Tessa. Unfortunately though, the Patriots will not help them at all unless June and Day do want they want, kill the leader of the Republic. June will be the one to kill him and Day must travel around and spread word of the rebellion. In order to do this June must go into the Republic’s custody so she can get close to the Elector Primo, the leader, and kill him. When they decide that this is the only way they will ever possibly be safe, the two more-than-friends go there separate ways so the can uphold their sides of the bargain. The man who “finds” June is the man who killed her brother she has a lot of resentment towards him. She puts aside her anger though so that she can convince him to take her to Denver where the Elector Primo is. She tells him that she has some extremely important news about their enemies that they will not find out without her help. this is where I stopped.
