You gotta love Rick Riordan

There is a new book coming soon :)

The new Camp Half Blood series is continueing with The Lost Hero!!!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

After saving Olympus from the evil Titan lord, Kronos, Percy and friends have rebuilt their beloved Camp Half-Blood, where the next generation of demigods must now prepare for a chilling prophecy of their own:

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,

To storm or fire the world must fall.

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.

The top is the cover of the UK edition, the bottom is the US one :) Which do you guys think is better? :P I like the US edition cause the dragon looks cooler.

The Lost Hero comes out on October 12th!!!

Also, the final 39 Clues book is coming out at the end of this month :) Scholastic has already begun the countdown. I would put the book cover here but I can;t seen to find it :( Oh well......

PS: Kane Chronicles has come out for some time now, yet I haven't bought it. Its all Popular and Times fault. They have the Puffin edition of the book and the cover looks so freakin HORRIBLE!!! I want the Scholastic one!!!

PSS: I started reading Twilight.

No I have not gone mad.

If you see the side bar, you can see that I added a new link "Anti-Twilight".

It's this blogger torturing himself to blog the books to us smart people who cannot stomach Shmeyer. He also blogs about what he thinks about the book in hes own twisted way. And he hates Bella!!!!

Here's a small bit of Dan Bergstein's blog:

"If Edward had changed into a vampire when he was 60, would he still be lusting after 18-year-old Bella? And are you OK with that? Really? What if he was a vampire at the age of six? So watching an 18-year-old make out with a six-year-old is totally cool because they are true loves?"

Awesome!!!

Of Gullible People and Luxury Books

Last week I got an SMS from a friend

"Pls go to http://www.iyouweblog.com/ on tsunami this morning in Penang."

Needless to say i searched and found the page. In the page it was written that on 8 of April, a tsunami happened at 7.14 am. There was even a video.

However, after further digging, I found out thet the "breaking news" was actually crap made up by an idiot and a dumb moderator. The video was a modified version of the tsunami in 2004. Oh yeah, some other idiot copied and redid the whole page into his blog.

This got me thinking, some people are so gullible. That is why so many people are losing their money on fake get-rich-quick scams. Really, I bet you think Bert and Ernie were just roommates. Falling for tricks and jokes is one thin, but when will people accept the if it's too good to be true, it ain't gonna work. Seriously, if my friend had even an ounce of common sense she would have checked first..... And I wouldn't have wasted an hour!

Since I'm complaining here I might as well complain about another thing. WHY THE HELL ARE BOOKS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!!! Looking at the original book covers, it seems that Americans and the English are paying less the 10 per book!!

No Wonder Malaysians only read 2 books a year! These books are considered luxury items because of their price! 35 for a book that takes 2 hours to finish isn't worth it.....

Because of this I have to be extremely choosy over what books I buy. Only the best make the cut! Fufufu. I love reading and I love money and I love chocolate(nothing to do with anything, I just love it) But when awesome books are in front of me I will swallow my pride and buy it.

But really, I would love to expand my home library, but my wallet and the Malaysian government won't let me!!

On a lighter note, I'm so freaking excited about 2 new series coming out by Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series!!

First up is THe Kane Chronicles, unlike Percy Jackson, this is set according to Egyptian Gods! Kewl!!! Kane chorinicles is another book that is actually made for teens and pre-teens but I love Riordan too much to pass on this book. I've already read the first chapter, awesome!!

The book is in stores May 4th!!! That means it'll be in Malaysia 2 months after that......gah....

Another awesome book is a new Olympians series!! Yay!!!!

Today, Disney-Hyperion announced that the second series of Camp Half-Blood adventures will be called The Heroes of Olympus. The first book, The Lost Hero, will be published Oct. 12, 2010.

It will all be based on the prophecy said in the last Percy Jackson book:

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. "

This is gonna be an awesome book!!!

P.S. Logan Lerman is NOT hot. Only cute. Johnny Depp IS hot. LOL

Late At Night 2

Another sleepless night. Ho hum. This time there's nothing to watch on the tele. Oh well. so I'm writing this in hopes I get sleepy.

I feel that someone has placed a curse on Connaught. Particularly the drama team. This whole week we've been plagued by things that drive us away from practice. For example, Grace falling ill, the class photo deadline and, of course, that prefect camp that took away Saturday practice. Pn Lim was free this Saturday unlike the previous few Saturdays. Coincidence. I think not.

Our drama team is also set to be the first one to perform in the finals. To make matters worse, the teams right after us are VI, last years winners, and St John. Damn. Pn Lim was quite optimistic, "We'll go in number 1 and go out 1 too!" or something like that. I can't remember exactly.

Stress. My hope is that it'll fade on Monday. Either by chance or God's grace we're doing Stress Management in Missionettes. Maybe I'll make another bracelet. Maryann and Teacher Cindy says it's stress relief. I think the lesson tomorrow(or is it today?) will either make or break me.

On a lighter note, I just watched the Percy Jackson and the Olympians trailer. Logan Lerman is cute. And he's 17!!! Usually when some actors (read: Daniel Radcliff) reach 17 or older they're looks go down the toilet. Pierce Brosnan is also set to play Chiron, a centaur. Wonder how he'll look like with a body of a horse. Mmmmm....... Who else. Sean Bean as Zeus should be interesting to watch. Oh and the most shocking is this girl Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth which is shocking because in the book, Annabeth is 12 not 23!!! The casting director mixed up the numbers. Chris Columbus is directing this so hopefully it'll be as good as Socerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets combined. Melina Kanakeredes is playing the lady Athena and Uma Thurman as Medusa. Ohhhhh. Interesting......

The only movie still I can find. Brandon T. Jackson as Grover the satyr, Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson and Alex-I'm-too-lazy-to-spell-her-name as Annabeth Chase. Damn. Annabeth should have been blonde.

But all this aside, I can't wait for the movie next year!!!!!

Hmm, I'm not sleepy yet. Nevermind. Maybe I'll watch some Psych.
