Well, this special day only happens what, every four years! So celebrate with all your might and jump around like a frog! I actually know someone who was born on this day which is really curious. I should definately ask about it. Do any of you guys have a leap b-day? If you do, be sure to tell me! And tell me what it's like!
And remember, have fun!

The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff
This book was actually okay, it just wasn't my type. Like most historical fiction I've read, the book was hard to get into and the beginning was boring. After a while, I could more easily understand what was happening (because beside my studies, I wasn't very familiar with the culture).
It was well written, very interesting- just not my type so I couldn't exactly love it.
The book is based on Rome in historical times and is about a boy, Marcus, who sets off on a journey to find the truth about the ninth legion and their lost eagle.
Anyone who likes a good adventure, or a nice historical fiction, or is learning about Rome, I'd suggest this book.
I rate this book a 7.3/10

Wisdom's Kiss by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
This book was basically a romantic adventure, with lots of politics. The style of writing was no doubt intriguing- it was out of letters, diary entries, an encyclopedia and a play. It is based around Princess wisdom, Fortitude and Tips (those are the three main character's names), based around each of their own problems and how they're brought together.
At first the story was fine, but it just got worse. At one point the story just became truly ridiculous. Because of this, many long periods of time would pass before I picked the book up again.
Supposedly, this book was considered a romance, adventure and comedy. I found only a little bit of adventure (not written quite as I would've liked), drastically dissapointing and pathetic romance (aka: loving someone for your whole life and then suddenly at first sight you fall in love with another girl and end up with that other one. ick.) and no comedy. There was also a lot of boring buisness and politics somewhat.
Perhaps I am just being very critical. Many other readers seemed to have enjoyed this. But though the style of writing was cool, it just made the whole plot more confusing.
I would not really suggest this book at all, but perhaps to people who like buisness and a thick plot.
I'd rate this book a 4/10

Happy Late Valentine's!
Did you know that most suicides occur on Valentine's Day? On that happy thought, hope you all had a wonderful time alone or with your sweetheart! I was alone for one, and I think Flounder was too. I still had tons of fun though and got friendship candy and gifts.
For those who are single and unhappy, relish on this thought: Today is a fine time to buy all those chocolates on discount now! And maybe next year you'll be spending heart day with a precious loved one.
For those who are taken- whether happy or going through rough times: You can also get chocolates on discount today! ;)
Even if you spent Valentine's bummed out, try having fun anyway!
