Fang

Okay, time to do a review on this book, and to do a good one.
    Out of all of the books so far, this one seems to have the most final ending, eve more than Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports. I noticed that Dylan, who has been created to make Max love him, doesn't seem to really act like he is trying. This book seems to be the end of the series (is it?). Dylan seems to try to 'replace' Fang, and Angel tries to be the leader of the flock, more successfully this time, and causes Max and Fang to be kicked out of the flock, however, they return fairly quickly. Anyway, I am now wondering if there is going to be another book, but it doesn't seem likely, after the ending to this book.

The Reading Challenge

I entered the premier's reading challenge a few days ago (once I found out about it), and when I read the reading list, I noticed that there were omnibuses, separate to the single books, meaning that you would get more than one point for reading one. I also noticed that there are parts of series, but not all of them, and a bunch of shorter books, like The Greek Who Stole Christmas, so we can read these shorter ones for extra points. I also found that alot of the books that I have read this year are not on the list.

The Blood Angels

Okay,
    Today I finally got the new Blood Angels codex, and I think that it is awesome. There are a whole pile of new units, characters, as well as a range of miniatures.
    When I read it, I thought of taking a Death Company army, using a big squad of 30 death company, and 5 death company dreadnoughts (with Blood Talons) for my troops choices (including Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost), with Death Company Tycho and Astorath the Grim for HQ choices, or an army containing Commander Dante and lots of Sanguinary Guard, because the Guard look really cool, have 2+ armour saves, and Dante lets me use them a a troops choice, as well as being a great fighter on his own.
   My favorite unit in this codex is the Stormraven Gunship. It has AV 12 all round, and is not affected by melta bonuses, as well as being equipped with 4 bloodstrike missiles (S8), and has a twin-linked Assault cannon, which can be replaced with twin lascannons or plasma cannons, and a twin heavy bolter, which can be replaced with a twin multi melta or typhoon missiles, and can also be upgraded to use 2 hurricane bolters. It gets even better; it can transport 12 people and a dreadnought, and can drop it's units like the grav-chute insertion rule, and, it's also a fast skimmer.
   My favorite model is the Sanguinary Guard, because I like their wings.

Eragon

I have read Eragon recently (I can't think of any other way to start my posts). I saw the movie a few years ago, but I could only remember that it had a dragon in it, and I really like dragons. I found this to be a quite addictive book, and I really liked it (I really need to think of different words to use in these posts).
Erm...
  Like alot of books, this one just seemed good, but I can't work out why.

Maximum Ride comic #2

Apparently, there is another tf2 video: Meet the sentry.
I also found that the videos are also by Machinima

Anyway, the second Maximum Ride comic is now at my local library, so I read it.
I thought that they all looked good after their haircuts, and I got to see most of the characters in color.
