Reading Blog- Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? was a really unique book, and something that I would not usually read. The book talked about the questions you would be asked in an interview with Google, and what it would be like to work there. I struggled with most of the challenges, and sometimes when the book explained the answer my confusion would grow further. But the challenges were a very fun part of the book. The book also talked a bit about peoples experiences being interviewed to work at Google and about peoples experiences working there. After reading this book I was fascinated by what Google thins about when they interview someone, how Google works, and what Google really is. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a unique, fun read.

Book Blog- Navy Seal Dogs

Over spring break I read Navy Seal Dogs, by Mike Ritland. Mike Ritland is a former Navy Seal, and his novel is his first hand account with these dogs. This book was really interesting and not something that I would usually read. Mike Ritland describes in great detail, how Army dogs are trained and developed into war machines. He goes into depth on various dangerous missions these dogs have performed. Although this book is something I would not usually read, it was a good read and extremely detailed. I loved it and highly recommend it for anyone up for a, fun, interesting novel.

SOL 30/31- Death

The figure stands outside the frost laden window. His hood is draped low over his eyes and face. His bony fingers extend from his hand and run down the window. He looks through the glass at a cold body on the floor. Its soul long gone from its lifeless shell. The figure outside the window disappears into a black fog, and then reappears next to the man's body. He leans down over his face and then looks up at the sealing. The man's soul floats in the amber candlelight, gently touching the ceiling as it bobbles up and down. The figure extends his hand towards the soul and slowly grabs it. With his other hand he produces a bag from his belt. He then drops the misty soul into the brown burlap bag. He disappears into black fog again.
