9/08 Reading Update

So, this week I actually finished quite a few books this week: Roman Myths, The Nine Lives of Chloe King (books 1-3), and I'm more than halfway through Clone Codes.

So basically Roman Myths are the same as Greek gods/goddesses. For example:

• Zeus➙ Jupiter
• Poseidon➙ Neptune
• Hades➙ Pluto
• Hera➙ Juno
• Hestia➙ Vesta
• Dionysus➙ Bacchus
• Apollo➙ Apollo
• Artemis➙ Diana
• Aphrodite➙ Venus
• Ares➙ Mars
• Hermes➙ Mercury
• Athena➙ Minerva
• Demeter➙ Ceres
• Hephaestus➙ Vulcan
• Persephone➙ Proserpina                                                  

The Nine Lives of Chloe King was a great series. They also made it into an ABC Family TV series, which has an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT plot line. The main character spends the series with a guy, while in the books she is fighting for her life against a society. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE SERIES AND WANT TO SPOILERS AHEAD. The ending is really great though, the bad guy dies, she ends up with her guy, and they live MOSTLY happily ever after, but the author does make sure to hint at upcoming spectacles, like people having feelings for other characters and loose ends with bad guys and all that. 

Clone Codes is actually this really great book (it's in a series, so I'll have to read the next 2 books). It takes place in 2170, where clones and cyborgs are real and there's all this cool virtual stuff. Anyway, no one has perfected infant cloning DISCLAIMER:SPOILER ALERT and this ordinary girl finds out that her sister, who died in a car crash, was actually her clonee, and that the main character(same girl) is actually a clone. But then everyone keeps treating her like a great scientific discovery. And the government is after her because apparently she is the first successful infant clone, and she can lie, which no other clone can. 

My friend (Hi, Julia) actually got me hooked on the Mortal Instruments and Vampire Academy series. The movies look really good! 

And just for a funny trailer for everyone having a rough week, this is the new movie Penguins of Madagascar coming Thanksgiving. Hope you like it!
