"B" is for Burglar【Book Review #4】

My name is Kinsey Millhone and I'm a private detective. I'm thirty-two years old, female, and I live and work in Santa Teresa, in southern California.

A few days ago, I got shot-but I must tell the story from the beginning.

On a fine morning, early in June, I was in my office on State Street. It was just before nice o'clock. There was a knock at the door and a woman came in. She was in her late thirties. She was small, with shiny black hair and bright blue eyes. She was well dressed.

I'm Beverley Danziger," the woman said. "I'm hoping that you can find my sister for me..."

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!!

Survive!【Book Review】

You are in a small plane, going across the snowy Rocky Mountains. Suddenly, the engine starts to make strange noise… Soon you are alone, in the snow, at the top of a mountain, and it is very, very cold. You want to go down the mountain. There are some things in the plane: a coat, some whisky, a map, some bananas, and a cigarette lighter. You cannot take everything, but you can take three things with you. Be careful-some of these things can help you, but some of these things cannot. What do you take? And can you survive? Today, I survived on the mountain…I read Survive!  ,which is a book from Oxford Bookworms series. It was written by Helen Brooke. This is an interactive story and you can choose what part of the story to read next. What do you do if you are alone in a mountain? Survive! allows you to experience accident in a mountain. If you choose a wrong direction, you will die (in Survive!) . I died three times in Survive! . Survive! is an interesting book, so I recommend

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.
