whoops

sorry for not updating in a month i was too busy searching for more caleo haters i'm sorry if you don't hate it like i do yet then i'm sorry but you're just crazy

you can't just force two people together because they look "cute"

okay but lightning round for books

Ava's Demon by Michelle Czajkowski: not exactly a book but a beautiful web comic BEAUTIFUL

Super(Ish) by Rachael..:In the superhero world, Everett Moore is regarded as nothing more than a sidekick with a pretty face. She's left out of everything, and she has to say that it really sucks. She also has to say that she's sick and tired of being underestimated, just because she doesn't have the coolest powers in the universe. But, when Barry Bass, the superhero she "sidekicks" for, has to go off to a Superhero Convention in Lake Tahoe (leaving the safety of their town in Everett's slightly incapable hands), Everett is in for the week and a half of her life. Because, as soon as Barry's gone, in strolls in super villain Flynn Daniels- known for his chocolate brown hair and big temper tantrums. However, when Everett is somehow able to capture him and bring him back to the lair, she's forced to face snark, sarcasm, and the charm of Flynn Daniels as she tries (and fails) to rehabilitate him into being a super(ish) hero, simultaneously trying to prove that she's more than just a pretty face.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life--and she's really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.

Unseen by Bel Watson: Rumour has it that a new guy is joining our class this year. All the girls are going crazy, imagining all the case scenarios from cliché YA books: mysterious, rebel, bad boy, werewolf, fallen angel, even vampire! The worst part, I don’t even think they have read the books; they only watched the films. However, it doesn’t make much difference to me, it’s not like he is going to see me. No one sees me. Oh but don’t worry, I got used to this and I learnt to enjoy it. Believe me, being unseen has its perks. I’ll show you.

:DDDDDDDDDDD

Sorry I won't be as active!

SPREAD THE WORD TO UNCLE RICK

Okay, I has theory.

Spoiler warning for ToA btw. Calypso is sad when she's mortal again, right? Maybe because she was working for the Beast and thought she'd get her powers back. In The Odyssey, Calypso is shown to be hostile and keeps Odysseus in her island for seven years. Maybe those true colors can show! She, herself, was a titan and was against the gods in the first Titan War. She might've changed over the past thousand years, but what if she didn't? What if the unbridled rage in her filled up and she chose the beast's side?

Guys, do me a favor and spread this theory to Uncle Rick. It would mean the world to me, and if you're a fellow Caleo hater, you're welcome to the No Caleo Club. Thanks!

~Clare :D

Book Rants: Caleo

umm

so I've gotten ToA and yeah I really want to take it off I was so excited for this book but now, not so much. There's this really annoying girl that I really do not like, but that's not what I'm worried about. Percy's getting a baby sister? No, not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about, my diggity dogs, is the last chapter.

By the way, spoilers for Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle

Chapter 39, Want to hit Leo? That is understandable, Hunk Muffin earned it.

Okay so he comes back? Nice, but guess who he's back with? Yeah, a trash bag whose name is Calypso. The Calypso Hater Club is enraged. And she has the nerve to call him babe? I am utterly ENRAGED. Uncle Rick, I spent $20 for a Caleo shrine? Since most of you already know, I , eternally, will hate Caleo because of its reasons you can find here, but yeah. Um, no. Please no.
Dear Calypso,
    Go back to where you belong, trash.
Sincerely, the frenchiest fry, Clare Sanchez

FEATURED BOOK OF THE WEEK

Okay, it's a little early for book club, but it's May 3, 2016. You know what that means? A certain book is being released today because an author just won't leave our little cinnamon roll alone. Don't know what it is? Well...


DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

So I'm really happy because (Rick might break them up?) No, but I am happy that Rick will be able to break them up thank you Nathan but where are the posts? (...) Yeah I thought so. I'm happy because we didn't get a sufficient epilogue from Blood Of Olympus and I want to know if Piper's gonna slap Leo in the face. So sorry that Ten Reasons Not To Die will be cut short but I am very excited for this book and I think it needs a spot on the list as soon as possible.

( Hey readers I haven't read the Kane Chronicles or Magnus Chase because the library never has enough copies so don't kill me but I'm sorry so there won't be any doses of those fandoms but have you noticed that the omega on Blood of Olympus isn't centered? See for yourself:)


But yeah! Jokes aside, I'm really excited to see how this story folds out and how much Percy's gonna get annoyed. :D

Chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

(no but octavian's so mean he kills teddy bears he killed percy's panda and remember when people shipped him with rachel haha good times)

Dose of Fandoms

Welcome to Dose of Fandoms! A new series I have in which I will talk about fandoms, book or not, unfiltered.This meeting is about The Type Three Emo. Let's go.

twenty one pilots: Oh this will be fun. I miss the Vessel era, it was so happy and the fandom was so cozy. BOOM! Radio stations had to come in and ruin it for the Skeleton Clique. Now, everyone in the fandom hates Stressed Out! Their albums are so short though, but I loved Blurryface nonetheless. We Don't Believe What's on TV is my favorite on the album. Also, Holding on to You was beautiful. I'm trying to learn the handshake, it's so hard! I hate it when people don't appreciate Josh, he's in the band as well! Screen is nice and happy, and Goner is so sad... top is in the more recent addition to the Type Three Emo, but it's beautiful still. I love twenty one pilots, my favorite band. And did you know you can hear Josh in migraine? He does 2..3.. when Tyler goes depresssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing thoughts.

Troye Sivan: oh i love my twelve year old. twelve? i meant four. four year old. how do you not ship him with connor? i mean it's okay if you still ship him with tyler, but whyyyy? blue neighborhood is bae. amazhang. suburbia, for him, lost boy, and talk me down are my personal favorites. really speaks to me, you know? i've been subscribed to troye since 50,000 subs. why doesn't he post anymore? i liked trxye and wild he made funny vids. what happened to his quiff? did he just cut his hair too short? it's fine i still love my gay baby

Lana Del Rey: amazhang. first song i heard was summertime sadness back when i was into mainstream stuff *shudder* i love off to the races and diet mountain dew, and have listened to all albums. love double thumbs up

Marina and the Diamonds: LoVe. First song heard: Valley of the Dolls, Favorite: I am not a Robot so yEaH basically

Melanie Martinez: how do you not love mel? she's amazing as well. loved her since the voice! i was devastated when she was kicked off. i liked dollhouse, it was amazing, but when i listened to crybaby, i was amazed. i love concept albums, i think i read somewhere badlands was one as well? eh. her style of clothing and music is just lovable and creepy at the same time. like my personality. she's beautiful. love. my fave song from her was pity party but now its mad hatter. cos my pen name is hatter minerva.

Halsey: our love. nathan got obsessed with her recently. my favorite song from her is in a competition between gasoline and roman holiday and young god. but i like young god the most so i think that takes the cake. halsey's hair is beautiful as well. colorful and smooth. i like the instrumentals to her songs. they're nice. the first song i heard from her was hurricane. still love it.

Panic! At The Disco: I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS BRENDON!!!!1!!!11!!!1 also Gerard read the milk fic... ew. First song I heard from them was I Write Sins not Tragedies, naturally. I first became a fan like in 2013 I think. I loved Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! Favorite song from them goes to Miss Jackson because um percy hahahahhahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha so.......... let's move on... I never fully listened to A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, Pretty. Odd, or Vices and Virtues. Just choppy parts. Don't kill me pls

Fall Out Boy: I don't like them as much as I used to, but still a fan. First song I'd listened from them was Sugar We're Goin Down, and I don't even remember when that was. Favorite song from them goes to Uma Thurman, because it's catchy and I love the actress. I've only listened to Save Rock and Roll and American Beauty/American Psycho please don't kill me

My Chemical Romance: I'm not exactly a fan of them, but I'm not exactly not a fan. Only listened to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and a few other songs. I was still sad when they broke up, however.

Phan: do i have to i mean im already a hardcore fan

but yeah! that was the type three emo. In case you don't know the types, here.
  1. Suicidal, Black Veil Brides, Sleeping with the Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Asking Alexandria, MyDigitalEscape
  2. Hair dye, piercings, likes concerts more than people, Downlord, Slipknot
  3. twenty one pilots, troye sivan, melanie martinez, lana del rey, marina and the diamonds, halsey, panic!, fob, phan, undertale

Scene, not emo: Hair dyed many bright colors, likes cute stuff, says they're random, anime fan nerd, uses teh and rawr
Which are you? 

I hope this meeting was your cup of tea (or coffee idk what you like) and g'night.


Shameful Self Promotion

Okay, in case you don't already know, I have a Wattpad, @wannagotoheaven and @crystal_lions .I also have a Quotev, @childofthedead. I even have a fanfiction.net! @weasleysbutterbeer. Basic stories on Wattpad, fanfic on Quotev, and literally nothing on fanfiction.net. My pen name is Hatter Minerva, so see you there~

Eighth Book!

First off, Fandom Week started yesterday, so the activity is that if you're in any sort of fandom, write the number 74 on you because 7 Harry Potter Books, 7 Heroes of Olympus, 4, for Tobias Eaton, and put them together and you get 74, for the 74th Hunger Games! Fandom Week ends on May 5th, so hurry and write down 74!

Still no requests, so I'll give you one of my recommendations.



Ten Reasons Not To Die by Vanessa, (no last name) is a book where there's a girl who wants to commit suicide, but this guy wants to prevent her from doing so, so she gives him ten days to give her ten reasons not to die, and if he fails, she can go jump off a cliff. Here's the description.
"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."
Very amazing book, in my opinion it should've won the 2012 Watty's, but it's in the past. It's a short story, 12 chapters, but still amazing. Tem/Tem.

Remember, chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

Book Rants: MERCH

Okay,there's merch for things, right?

There's the Harry Potter Funko Figures. But I've looked literally everywhere and I can't find the first Dumbledore! I've only got the second! Why have merchandise and make them impossible to find?

Example: There's an actual Mythomagic Card Series on Etsy. But guess what? I've ordered the set that includes 7 Common Cards, 2 Limited Edition Cards (One Monster, One God), and possibly one holographic limited edition double attack point card. I've ordered this set seven times, and I still cannot find the limited edition holographic double attack point Nemesis, Ares, or Persephone! WHY??!!!! Again, I have ordered this SEVEN TIMES!!! I've got three Ghost Kings already, and that's supposedly the "hardest card to find!" Nathan isn't even giving me his holographic double attack point Nemesis! ??????? Don't even get me started on the glossy Aphrodite double defence point card! I've been looking for it for so long! AND NOW IT'S OUT OF STOCK!! Like I want to charmspeak my enemy! I WANT 5000 DEFENCE! I will not settle for the extra attack Aphrodite! That one just has glitter! Okay, I admit, the extra attack Artemis is pretty neat since the silver glimmers BUT AT LEAST THE NEW ATTACK (which is to summon the hunters) IS USEFUL! The extra attack is just to speak French, which'll just heal you fully? YOU WOULDN'T NEED THAT HEALING IF YOU JUST GAVE ME DOUBLE DEFENCE. I have ELEVEN holographic Hermes cards now, I don't need to steal more health points. THE DOUBLE ATTACK HOLOGRAPHIC CARDS GO OUT IN TWO WEEKS! I don't want it to go out in two weeks! And by the way, they didn't even make Mythomagic statues for the minor gods! I want a lil tiny Nike on my drawer! I'M SORRY HEPHAESTUS BUT I HAVE THREE OF YOU

Book Rants: Tiny Rants

Ok, this time for book rants, I'm not going to rant about one thing. I'm ranting about several small things not worthy enough to get their own posts. Here we go.

LIBRARIES: Ok, I admit, I don't buy a lot of my books. And frankly, I'd like to keep it that way. Even though I aspire to have a bedroom with bookshelves covered across the walls, not too big, not too small, covered in posters, perfect for fangirling and staying up late, I don't have the money to keep that many books. So I go to the library. And I think it's nice! But it always seems they never have the book I want! It's like everyone's reading the same series as me at the same time! And also, the books there are trash. You share those books with like a thousand other people! You do not get the right to make holes in them! I can't read two pages because of you that way! What kind of monster would take their time and rip out pages! rjjandfinievjiuashndycdavtbid


DESCRIPTIONS: Are you like me? Do you read the descriptions and reviews before reading a book? Good news! You're like me! But you know what's the worst? WHEN THEY PUT IN A SPOILER AT THE DESCRIPTION. Like qjnvejavncedsNhvftads dude! Why?! I don't want to be halfway through the book and find out [Insert character name] dies in the middle! I want to be shocked! Is it so hard to keep the spoiler out of the description? You know how there's those question things? I read one, and it went like:
Dear author name,
Did you have to write [insert spoiler here?]
Love, literal spawn of satan.
NO BUT PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO THIS.
And the worst part is when it turns out to be a book in the series! Like when the spine of the book doesn't have the number it is in the series SUCKS. You know the book Ender's Game? I read that book halfway through before googling it and I found out IT'S THE FOURTH BOOK IN A SERIES. I JUST SPOILED IT FOR MYSELF.

BLOOD OF OLYMPUS: This book was just a huge disappointment. By the way, if you look really closely at the whole "Heroes of Olympus" banner at the top, THE SPACING IS UNEQUAL. It annoys me so much im sorry



COVERS: Oh look, it's actually a really great book! But you know the cover you're gonna get? A cliched one that nobody likes. And sometimes there isn't anything on the back!

FANGIRLING: Hipsters are always like, "Ugh do you know that feeling when you love someone who'll never love you back?" Like ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? We're fangirls! The people we love don't even exist! Do yOu KnOw HoW fRuStRaTiNg ThAt iS?

FANGIRLS: Most people think fangirls are all happy and bubbly and like that. But guess what buddy? It's not. We have anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, we're not that bubbly! We use these things we love as an escape! Don't punish your son or daughter by taking away their screen time! You're supposed to heighten their self esteem, not lower it!

BERKS: Do you ever like finish the second to last book in a series but end up reading another one because you don't want it to end? Like I finished Half Blood Prince and started The Hunger Games. I finished Catching Fire and I started reading PJO. (But let's be real, there'll never be an end to PJO.)

MOVIE COVERS: Why? We want the original covers.

BOOK STORES: Where did all of them go? I used to go to this one that was like five to ten minutes from my house on a walk. But guess what? It went bankrupt. So now there's only Barnes and Noble! AND IT'S LIKE A MILLION MILES AWAY Like Barnes and No

UNCULTURED SWINE: THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE W H O  H A V E N ' T  R E A D  T H E  P J O  S E R I E S. I try to tell them about a funny line? THEY H A D TO IGNORE ME!

but yeah that's pretty much it i've calmed down there might be another one of these in like two hours if i can be angry at rick riordan again

Book Rants: Bad Ships Two!

Before we get on the second NOTP, I'll update you on Caleo. (Skip all the bold text if you would like to move on)

On instagram, I'm strictly following accounts that don't ship Caleo! If they do, I block them and unfollow. I'm not even gonna leave Caleo shippers to follow me, if they ship it, they're gonna be so butthurt about everything!

My friends and I have been in a Caleo hater club. That's how bad it is! Who doesn't ship Leo with themselves? (Probably hetero-males in the PJO/HOO fandom)

And there's a ship war going on in my reading group. We've had good reasons not to ship Caleo.

1) They hit it off a week after meeting. Seriously? Rick, that's way too rushed.
2) Suddenly their personalities are altered? Leo becomes mature? CALYPSO IS SASSY?!?!?!
3) Calypso's a water nymph, Leo's a mortal. It's just weird to ship a guy with another being.
4) Calypso was shown to still like the other men who landed on Ogygia. 
5) The rest of the seven think Leo's dead
6) Leo prioritized this girl who he'd known for a few weeks over his friends (Pipes and Jase-boy) who he's known for at least a year!

My friend even read a smut where Calypso never mind

Another thing, it feels wrong that the last scene had to be Caleo and not Percabeth or Frazel or Lightning McLean! 

And then the reasons the other group chose to ship Caleo?

1) They're cute together in the fanart

?!?!?

It feels so wrong to me, but at least Leo's happy.

Okay, now onto the ship we need to talk about.

Dramione.

Why?

Okay, this seems like such an obvious question. Yeah, there's really no real reason to ship them, they didn't show much interest in each other, but for heaven's sake we shipped Jason with a brick

The fanfics written about Dramione are really annoying. For example, most of them have terrible grammar. The personalities have to shift for the relationship to work out (and you can see how that worked out for me in Caleo)

And what about Ronmione? They balanced each other's personalities out, what about the canon writing about them? Jo put them together for a reason.

Also, bruh. Draco Malfoy, the kid who hated muggle-borns, loved pure bloods, wanted Hermy dead in CoS, and stood there when Bellatrix carved the mudblood scar into her. ?!?! (When I give many question marks and exclamation points, I'm trying to mimic the thing I do in real life when I squint at people with no reason) I don't think Hermione can just forgive that. DRACO FOR JABBER'S SAKE. He was raised thinking muggle-borns were the living scum on earth wouldn't just love her straight like that!You can't just change your beliefs like that! It would take so long, long enough for Ronmione (cough canonically) to get married! ?!?!

Dramione shipper in the crowd: WHAT ABOUT THE FICS WHERE RON'S AN ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND-

Me: no please no just get off this website

Who reads the books and goes, "Yeah, Ron's gonna beat her with a belt in the future." Cause what I think is, "Yeah, Ron's gonna beat her at Mario Kart in the future." Harry wouldn't want that either! If Ron would've abused her, I definitely would've thought Harry picked Hermes as his best friend over Ronny! Ronald McDonald over here loves Harmonica. Even Joanne says she's afraid that people are starting to see Drakon over there as a good guy!

I really don't want people to get angry at this when I say goodbye. Well, chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

*disappears in a self sustaining tornado*

Seventh Book!

No, the book will not be one I'm currently reading.

Our book this time shall be The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire! (Since none of you could comment what you've been reading and I hate Rick Riordan right now)
It's a very funny and random book, but it's worth reading. I am a Type Three Emo, so you should expect things like this from me. (Type Three Emo, fan of the Emo Trio, new or old, and a phan.)

Hello reader! In this book is a world. A world created by two awkward guys who share their lives on the internet! We are Dan and Phil and we invite you on a journey inside our minds!

It's a book from danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil! Very amazing indeed. A few of my friends and I have even started looking for more proof that Phan is real!

(though I respect their privacy if it isn't.)

DON'T EVEN ASK ME WHY NATHAN ISN'T POSTING I'M SO ANGRY AT HIM RIGHT NOW

bye

Sixth Book

Hello beauties and gentlebeauties!

Our sixth book is from our own author, Nathan.

I recently read a good young adult fiction novel with a main character that kinda reminds me of me.The book is called Mindblind by Jennifer Rozines Roy. give it 4.9/5!!! #DVT

Okay, Nathan. But what's with that .1? Did the book not deserve it? Okay, but this book is pretty recent and looks pretty decent. (that rhymed haha) Oh, and I really wonder what that hashtag must stand for. (obvious sarcasm is obvious)

 BUT CLARE! WHAT'S THE SU-

 It's my birthday on Tuesday! I'ma have a great time and on Friday, national emo day to most, I will show everyone tons of books you should read! And also, on instagram when I said I didn't ship Caleo there were so many responses in the comments on other photos. (Cause I'm not famous at all haha)

 "LET MY CHILD HAVE LOVE"
 Like come on I'm just giving an opinion calm your wheat bread

But yeah follow me @highbookshelves and on wattpad @wannagotoheaven!

Well, I'm going to LA soon for Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Remember, chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

Book Rants: Bad Ships

Oh god I'm gonna get so much hate..

I hate Caleo. Which Nathan knows, (idk why he isn't posting) because of many reasons.

CALYPSO WAS SHOWN TO STILL LIKE PERCY! She hated him, I hate this ship. The relationship was really rushed, which disappoints me. Their personalities were slightly changed JUST so they could be together. That brings up another point.

CALYPSO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SERIES BEFORE THIS. Literally, she was just brought back so Leo could have a love interest. Rick, you don't need a lover to be happy! That's not a very great message! Geez, I wanted to kill Rick for this. Leo was actually pretty mature, which really annoyed me. HE should be annoying. And Calypso just turned into an overused sassy girl.

PlEaSE RiCk bReAk ThEm uP In ToA

I just really hate this ship! I think it's actually the worst thing Rick's ever written, like he was under pressure and made this ship knowing it would fail anyway. "BUT CLARE!" you say. "THEY LOOK S-"

Tsch tsch tsch, reader. They do not look very cute together either. Even though Leo is my favorite character and my senpai  he sacrificed himself, and I wanted it to end at that. But noo he had to meet Calypso.

This angers me so much I'm not even going to say farewell.

Bye.

*disappears in fire*

no but leo is hot both literally and figuratively the bad boy supreme wow such cute but he can summon fire he's my little smol cinnamon roll my son then again that makes me want to marry my child but

Fifth Book!

Really guys? You must be shy...
It is I, the grrreat Papyrus to bring you more good books!

Nobody requested a book, but my buddies and I got a book we really think is cheesy....

Yes, you are seeing that image correctly. Macarons at Midnight. My friends were picking out a book and we found this one. Yep. Thanks, Alan. Oh, and what's this on the back?

When Lise Santos stumbles into a bakery’s midnight taste test, she meets a super cute boy. He’s as sweet as the macarons they share, and Lise is totally smitten. She’s pretty sure he is, too—but they never get the chance to exchange names. Now Lise has to find him again.
When Lise finally discovers who her mystery guy is, he’s not anything like she expected- ans suddenly they don't get along anymore!. Things get even more complicated when her friend Viv  starts to express interest in him. Now Lise's head and heart are all in a jumble. Can she gather the courage to admit her true feelings ... or is this a recipe for disaster?

Wow. That summary.. Wait, why's that second macaron all squished? Come on! No, but this is just so cheesy that you'll laugh at all parts. It's even better when you read it in an annoying tween girl voice. And what's this?! A typo?!

"Breakings news.."

Nope nope this is covered in cheese. I'm lactose intolerant as well.

Hey, you wanna hear a part from it? Here ya go.

Me: Breakings news. LISE SANTOS HEADS FOR SOCIAL SUICIDE
Simone: LOL. Quit headlining. Ur not trying hard enuf
Me: EZ 4 U 2 say. Ur eating ice cream & watching vampire romance right now.
Simone: Its chocolate & zombies. Miss U
Me: U 2

U2? Like the band? I'm not even emphasizing this part, page 11 go get the book.

This author, Suzanne Nelson, has also made two other books called  Cake Pop Crush  and You're Bacon Me Crazy. Oh, and on You're Bacon Me Crazy, There are two pieces of bacon shaped in a heart. A HEART! I would still eat that though..

Okay, this book doesn't get a 5.5 stars from me. With the actual story being taken seriously, I'd give it a 2.5/5. But with the humor, I'll give it a tip and make it 3.5/5. But that's the most I'll give!

Go ahead and read this book, you'll get a big laugh out of it. I don't really know what the author was aiming for because I gave it to my 8 year old cousin and even SHE didn't like it. Was she aiming for 45-year-old parents who wanted to keep up with the times, I'll never know.

Oh, and is it just me or are all the other blogs on blogger abandoned? Just click next blog, there's probably going to be a blog that hasn't been updated since 2010.

PROTIP

(hahaha phan)

PROTIP: Listen to Undertale Piano covers while reading books. It'll speed you up. Otherwise, emo-trio, twenty one pilots, Oh Wonder, Halsey, Melanie Martinez, and Troye Sivan are your best tip.

..and mama's good eats oh wonder on repeat so much history in my head the people I've left the ones that I've kept

Thank you guys for enjoying this post and surviving through that april fool's joke! Remember, chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

Book Rants: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

The Sorcerer's Stone definitely deserved its name. Philosopher's? NOPE! It's just not magical! Doesn't take place in the 'magical' world of Harry Potter! Why did it have to be that in the first place? LOL! So sad sorcerer's is only in america :(((

Book Rants: The Cursed Child

Well hello friends!

Most of you might already know, but the book club's favorite person, J.K. Rowling, has made a play to follow up the Harry Potter series.

Now, most of you might be screaming and fangirling over all of this, but then there's me. Yes, I have to ruin everything with my rants. Please don't be mad at me..

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.

No, it is not a prequel.

But I don't even understand the point in this sequel! Yes, I still love Jo. No, I am not watching this play or getting the book. That's right, she put parts one and two into a book and is selling it. Okay Jo, you're milking it now.

I was happy when I closed Deathly Hallows. I applauded when Deathly Hallows Part II ended. Tears were running down my face that day because I couldn't believe what I've been reading for a year and a half (I started a bit late) was over. And I was satisfied! But now, she's released it 19 years after the Harry Potter timeline finished. C'mon! Sans would be angry at you jumping timelines!

(that's the wrong fandom)

Right, voice inside my head! Jo, don't milk it. Seriously, don't milk it. You've already had your last movie split into two parts having me WAIT. You know who else did that? Twilight! You know someone else who did the same? Mockingjay!

Now, my opinion is that those two were both boring movies. But Deathly Hallows is not a boring movie! It is an amazing movie that had me throwing my popcorn everywhere! We don't need a follow up!

Today's question of the day: Would you want to watch Cursed Child?

Chess on Sunday, Quidditch Practice on Friday, and farewell.

New Author!

Well hello friends!

We have a new author on Book Club, Nathan Tran!

(cough remember that guy who had that book about organisms yeah this is him)

DON'T VOTE FOR TRUMP

Woah, Nathan you want to make a good impression on them, right?

... (silence)

Well, this is the guy who did advertise the words Don't Vote For Trump on a piece of cardboard. Well, he's here and you can't escape him. I'm hoping to get more authors on this blog and have posts almost everyday! Stay tuned! Nathan, what series- Oh no.. oh my.................................... he's advertising again, isn't he?

Welp, he's gonna have a bad time. Remember guys, chess on Sunday, Quidditch practice on Friday, and farewell.

*a hurricane of Don't Vote for Trump cardboard pieces slam into Clare's face*

Nathan!

What? I'm just proving my point! Kids, DON'T VOTE FOR-

Let me try this again.. yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah and farewell.

Why does she get a fancy outro? I  can do that!

*Falls into a pile of Don't Vote for Trump cardboard pieces*


I'm working on it!

Book Rants: Boredom

Well hello friends!

It is I, the great Pap- I mean.. The great Clare to bring you something new! A new series so you won't have to wait as long for a new post! Rants. About books.

 Now, you might be like, "Clare! But books are perfect!"

Not all of them. There are parts in books where there's no real action, it's just characters talking and talking and talking...

Until you just stop actually processing the words and just skim over them and don't actually take in the story, not like anything's happening in it.



For example: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. This book got a 4/5 from Goodreads, however it did not do so well with me.

I'll get a lot of hate for this won't I..

Don't worry, I tried to make this as spoiler free as possible.

The Hunger Games and Catching Fire were breathtaking, exciting, fast paced! But the last installment, the Hunger Games book without the actual Hunger Games? Not a great one. Just talking and Katniss calling for Peeta. I read it and barely got anything! Just talking, and sadness from certain people.



Another book that kinda bored me: Detectives in Togas by Henry Winterfield. Now, this book did not get a great score on Goodreads. 3.9/5! That's such a big difference! This book also got a 4.3 from Barnes and Noble and a 3.5 from Google Books.

(there's a google books?! they didn't even give it a good rating, and i didnt know they existed. wow.)

This book was clever and funny at some parts, but just plain meh on others! This book isn't black and white like how I'll talk about other books. It's both good and bad. You know some books that don't bore you? The Fault in our Stars! Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Even Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian! Those books do great jobs at not boring you by giving you things to laugh at, things to cry at, things to make you at the edge of your seat- or bed if you read on the bed like me. The Fault in our Stars has comedy and sassiness! The tasks in the Triwizard Tournament have you rooting for a side! Spoilers ahead if you haven't read The Last Olympian, the sadness you feel when you realize May's going to make food every day for a child who'll never come back.

Yeah, go ahead Rick. Slice out my heart, won't you?

Today, I'll give you a question of the day. What book bored you the most?

But yeah, hope you like this new series. Remember, Chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.

Second, Third, and Fourth Book!

Well hello friends!

You might notice the title says that I will be telling you three books, and that is because I haven't posted in 25 days and two special friends gave books they had on the previous post!



By Nathan Tran:
I recently read this good book called The Carpet People.By Terry Pratchett.It's like a Philosophy book about the micro organisms in a carpet.Don't worry,the main characters are humans. 

Sounds like a great one! An old one too.. published in 1971, unlike the previous which was published last year. Also, seems you have an IQ of 129. 

I also have another special friend who has told their book, Alan! Tell me Alan, what book are you reading?
*looks at Alan's comment*
Wow.. I'm not sure if I should put a spoiler warning on that one! Just in case, you are now entering spoiler territory for Wolf of the Beyond: Lone Wolf. But yeah, try not to put spoilers in your recommendations unless it's a really known one like Sirius Black was innocent or something.



Alan:
Well hello! I just finished my book called Wolf of the Beyond:Lone Wolf, Written by Kathryn Lasky. It's about a wolf that had a twisted paw. He was abandoned just because he was cursed. When the wolf saw a grizzly passing by, he held on to her leg and beg for mercy. After that, the grizzly known as Thunderheart, gave the he-wolf a name, which is Faolan.

Sounds like a great one! According to the Wolves of the Beyond wiki, there are many spoilers on the page for Lone Wolf! This is also a fairly recent book which was released New Year's Day '10! It's also the first book in the series.

Welp, I need to cover up for three weeks of absence, don't I? I'll just tell you guys the book I just finished because of sheer laziness.



My book is The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan. It's a fantasy like book where the entire world is basically flooded and everyone travels in boats but there's still tiny pieces of land and people live there but it's expensive.. I'm rambling again aren't I? It's a beautiful book, it's very recent, and it has an amazing cover.

In unrelated news, I just now heard about the Magnus Chase series. Well, I knew it existed but I didn't really know the author or the plot. The author is Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus series. This guy really likes mythology. This series is about Norse mythology, and I'm not going to step into that abyss until I'm done with the Heroes of Olympus series. And as you could assume, yes he is related to Annabeth Chase.

So, if you guys could, add in your own books like Alan and Nathan did! This'll make it so you guys can participate and share your books instead of me just stating my own. It makes me sound self absorbed to just talk about myself. But, if you guys are just too shy, I'll add in my own.

Thank you for reading this weekly meeting! I have a new series, called Book Rants! If you're interested, you can check that out, it'll be posted soon! Remember, Chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.
