I read Time Pirate by Ted Bell, even though I read it before, it still keeps me on the edge of my seat as I read. Every single adventure that Nick, the main character. My favorite part is when he takes an old Sopwith Camel, and bombs a Nazi areodrome on a neighboring island. I can't wait until the next book is released

The Bet

"The piano was a silent as the lodge" is a personification, because silent is a term that can't really be used to define a lodge.
"He threw himself eagerly into his studies" is a metaphor, because you can't really throw yourself into studies.

I am reading Dust and Decay by Jonathan Maberry. It is the second book in the Rot and Ruin series. This is one of my favorite series. It takes place in post apocalyptic Sierra Nevada mountains. The human race has been all but wiped out by a disease that causes people to come back from the dead as mindless eating machines. Zombies. Humans ran for their life, settling in fortified cities, or living on their own. Fifteen years later, the world is set. There is the world inside city gates, and the Rot and Ruin. The land of the Undead. A year earlier Tom Imura and his little brother Benny went out in search of a serial murderer to bring him to justice. On the way they looked up to a sight not seen in 15 years. A sleek silver jet was circling over the valley. Now Benny and his friends must track down the jet, in a hope to reestablish civilization. Along the way, they meet strange people, and Benny's best friend, Chong gets kidnapped and sent to a horrible place were children are forced to battle to the death with blood thirsty zombies. It's called Gameland. Now Benny, Tom, and everyone else must save Chong, and close down Gameland forever.

This is a Roflcopter, I made it for my word project, and it is made completely out of ROFLs (Rolling On the Floor Laughing). I liked how I was able to correctly scale most of the helicopter's parts onto paper, but I need to make the rotor  parallel to the helicopter.

I began reading Closer yesterday. It is a continuation of the Tunnels series. Will Burrows, and his father, and friend Elliot are trapped in a world inside this world. As they explore, they discover that they are not the only inhabitants. A German expedition from the 1940's has set up a colony, and is working with Will's traitorous twin sister to exterminate him and his friends.
