My Life and Stuff

Hello. This post will pretty much be completely random so you're probably better off not reading it. It's about me (and stuff).

Sooo... since my last reading post I have read:

• Extras (It was okay.)
• I am the Messenger (I read this for school and I liked it... I think.)

And I have started reading

•  A Study in Scarlet (Which is seriously boring but it's old so I expected that.)

 I have watched:

• Ender's Game (It was okay. I got annoyed at it a lot.)
• Most of season 5 of Doctor Who (Which is really awesome and I can't stop thinking about it.)

I will most likely not be posting very much at all for the next two weeks because I am going camping and doing other stuff.

Reading Updates

Since my last post on the the books I've been reading I have read:

• The first two Vampire Academy books (They're okay.)
• The Uglies Trilogy (Though I haven't read Extras yet.)
• The Son of Sobek (Anyone who has read both Percy Jackson and the Kane Chronicles must read this. You have no choice.)
• The first three books in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy (For some reason my library doesn't have the fourth book.)
• Speaker for the Dead (A kind of sequel to Ender's Game. I liked it though I'm not completely sure why.)

Houses and Factions for the Billionth Time

I made a table. I like making tables. It shows the correlation between Hogwarts Houses and Factions (Yeah, I know, I've done that 200 times already). The table shows how common it is for a Ravenclaw to also be an Erudite, a Gryffindor to also be a Dauntless and so on.

	Ravenclaw	Gryffindor	Hufflepuff	Slytherin
Erudite	Obviously very common as both Erudite and Ravenclaw value intelligence.	Not very common. Gryffindors are unlikely to value intelligence enough to be in Erudte and most Erudite would not be considered brave.	Very uncommon. Erudite are rarely kind and loyal and (no offense) Hufflepuffs on average do not have above average intelligence.	Quite common. Perhaps as common as Erudite/Ravenclaw. Many Erudite are willing to go to any means to get what they want and Slytherins can be very intelligent.
Dauntless	Very uncommon. Not many Ravenclaws would be cut out for Dauntless and the Dauntless would find Ravenclaw extremely dull.	Very common, as both focus on bravery, though the two are more different then most people seem to think.	Quite uncommon, though not impossible. I have a hard time imagining this, though.	Quite common. Slytherins can be just as reckless as Gryffindors, and both Dauntless and Slytherins aren’t usually very nice.
Amity	Not very common. Ravenclaws generally don’t mind conflict, which means they’re not likely to choose Amity.	Not likely, since Amity avoid conflict and Gryffindors are willing to fight if necessary.	Very common. Hufflepuffs are the most peaceful of the houses and value kindness, just like the Amity do.	Very, very, very uncommon. These two are kind of the opposite and I don’t see how someone could possibly be an Amity Slytherin.
Candor	Fairly common. Ravenclaws value the truth.	Not very common, but not unheard of. Gryffindors can be very honest.	Kind of common, though many Hufflepuffs might lie if it would hurt someones feelings. Still, not impossible.	Fairly common. Slytherins do tend to say what’s on their mind (though they usually have to problem lying). I think Slytherins are more likely to be Dauntless or Erudite.
Abnegation	Quite uncommon. Abnegation, being so selfless, would not fit well into the mostly self centered Ravenclaws and Ravenclaws would find Abnegation tedious.	Fairly common. Many Gryffindors are very selfless, in fact it is one of their defining traits, and as Tris says, selflessness and bravery are kind of the same thing.	Quite common. Being so kind and helpful, Hufflepuffs wpuld generally do well in Abnegation.	Extremely uncommon. Practically impossible. Selflessness goes against the nature of Slytherins in every way possible.

Cress

I read the first two books in the Lunar Chronicles (Cinder and Scarlet) a while ago. I wanted to read Cress as soon as it came out but it took a really long time arriving at the library. The wait was worth it, though. The third book was just as good as the first two. I read it in two days. I went to a book signing with Marissa Meyer recently and got Cinder signed. Um... sorry, that was kind of random. Anyway, I hope movies are made for The Lunar Chronicles. Except I also kind of hope there won't be any movies because they would most likely be totally messed up.

The Book Thief

I don't usually like historical fiction. But I decided to try reading The Book Thief. I'm really glad I did. It was not what I expected. The book is narrated by death, which is really weird and cool. It's written really well and it's just great and amazing so shut up and go read it. No, seriously. Even if you usually don't like historical fiction (like me), try it out anyway. If you don't at least find it interesting I don't understand you. I want to see the movie because I've heard it's really good.
