The Locked Room and Other Horror Stories【Book Review #14】

Mr Denton was in London one day to buy furniture for the new house which he and his aunt were building, and he was on his way to a shop to choose the curtains. His way took him, quite by chance, past one of the best bookshops in London, and he could not stop himself going in, just for a quick look, as he told himself.
     In this story, there are 9 chapters. I'll introduce one of the stories in The Locked Room and Other Horror Stories, which is The Curtains from The Diary of Mr Poynter.

    I don't interested in this book because you said to me "It's not interesting story."
    But your introduction of this book is so understandable!!

My Game Life

Hi! What's up? Today, I watched WWDC online, which is Apple's conference for developers and fans. The event was started streaming from 2:00 a.m.(JST). That's is why I'm sleepy now... iOS11, new MacOS, new iPad Pro, iMac Pro, and HomePod are a little exciting for me. Strictly speaking, I was not especially surprised at these  this time. Anyway, Today's topic is My Game Life. I spend my weekend on playing video game. My favorite is Battlefield 1. Battlefield 1 is based on WWI. Weapons, vehicles, buildings... everything are described minutely. I like to study history, so playing Battlefield 1 allows me to learn the history. They'll provide us new contents this month. I can't miss it!! You can ride a horse and fight enemies. I want to share my other favorite video games, so I decide to post a blog about video games which I recommend to you! Don't miss it!!

1984【Book Review #4】

His finger moved on the table. He wrote in the dust:  2 + 2 = 5 ‘ They can ’ t get inside you ,’ she had said. But they could get inside you. And when they did , something inside you died. The world in 1984 was divided into three regions , ー Eurasia , Eastasia and Oceania.

Casino Royale【Book Review #12】

     Bond is a British secret agent in MI6. There is an important directive from MI6 and MI6 commands him to beat an strong Russian spy, Le Chiffre, in cards. MI6 thinks that they will be able to take his life if Bond can win the game, but the Russian spy sees through MI6's trick and tries to lead MI6 into another trap. To help his executing the plan, the assistance serves him, and she will be his girlfriend later. However, her complicated past also leads their mission into failure...      I like the two guys' tactics happened while the cards and ,also, the love game in this story, which made me constantly confused because of their strategy while the book. Also, I was wondering which one will win this game with a pounding heart. I recommend this to those who like being thrilled. Fleming, Ian. (2006). Casino Royale .  England: Macmillan Readers.
