Ready Player One

Ready Player One
By Ernest Cline

When all of this planet's oil runs out, the world isn't the best place to live. That's why most people spend their days in a virtual reality video game called the OASIS. But when the creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves his entire fortune to anyone who finds the Easter Egg he created in the OASIS. Wade Watts has dedicated his whole life to find it. But it is a challenge to find even without his competition.

I loved this book. It is one of the best books I have read this year. The characters are likable, and the story had many crazy plot twists. This book is very and exciting, and during the breaks in action it is very interesting. I would recommend this book to people who enjoyed The Martian. It has some mature themes, so I would recommend this for ages 12 and up.

This week, I am reading The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury.

Swim practice poem

Swim practice poem

Pull with my right arm, and

Kick

Pull with my left arm, and

Kick

I know I've been doing this

Forever

These long sets are

Frustrating                                     Annoying                                     Terrible

But they give me time to

Think

Like how right now I can let my mind drift to

Anything

And no one will

Care

That I'm caught up in my own

World

The world in my

Head

Where I can do anything I want

As long as I'm still

Swimming

When the set finally

Ends

I will be kicked out of my

Head

And back into

Reality

Where I have to

Listen

To find out what I have to do

Next

Until practice is

Over

The Road

The Road

In a dark post-apocalyptic world where nothing grows and food is scarce, a father and son are constantly trying to survive, find food, and keep journeying south where it will be warmer.

I really liked this book. Although it was dark and depressing, the writing style was incredible and kept me reading. I would recommend this book to people who liked sad books such as The Book Thief. The writing style in this book is not very straight forward, so I would recommend it for ages 12 and up.

The road

The Road
In a post-apocalyptic world, a father and his son struggle to survive. On the brink of starvation, they must find enough food and keep heading south to a place where it is warm enough for survival.

So far, I am enjoying this book. Although it is kind of depressing, the writing style is very good and enjoyable. I would recommend this for people older than 11 because it is hard to understand and it is extremely sad and grim. I would also recommend this book for people who enjoy post-apocalyptic novels.

Poem about skiing

Skiing poem

Sliding silently

Fresh snow falling to the ground

Passing trees

I plant my pole and skid to the side

Scattering powder behind me

Turn down the hill

Accelerating

Faster

Faster

Faster

Feel the ground flatten out

Then drop off

I fly through the air for a second

Hit the ground

Cold wind hitting my face

Go of another roller

In the air again

Land

The ground flattens out

The chair appears in front of me

And some people don't like skiing?

The Martian

The Martian

When astronaut Mark Watney is stranded on Mars, thought to be dead, he thinks he will definitely die. After all, he's thought to be dead with no communication, and a limited supply of food and water. But he is not willing to give up. After surviving many things that should have killed him, he manages to get communication with Nasa, and they start thinking of a rescue plan. But being rescued on Mars is just as hard as it sounds.

This book is AMAZING!!!! I could not put it down. This book is everything I would want in a book: It was funny, exciting, and extremely interesting. All the science in the book was extremely accurate. I would recommend this book for everyone, but especially people who enjoyed Apollo 13. This book is appropriate for ages 12 and up.
