Mythology Galore

It took me awhile but I finally got through The Red Pyramid. It was just as good as the Percy Jackson and the Olympians! I loved it, even with the Egyptian mythology twist. I never knew much about Egyptian mythology so the book taught me as much as it entertained me. It got a little confusing as it went back and forth between Carter and Sadie Kane. It is written in first-person the whole time so the changing of people can get discombobulating. The book takes interesting turns as Carter, Sadie and Bast go across the world from Egypt to Arizona. Along the way meeting many other of the Egyptian gods, good and evil. The book doesn't leave it at a horrible ending but bad enough to let you know there will be more coming....but Rick Riordan is a little busy writting the sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series: The Heroes of Olympus.
The Lost Hero - book one of The Heroes of Olympus series - is out!!!! Finally! I am deciding if I should wait and just buy when it comes out in paperback or get it from the library and then buy it later. I think it will drive me crazy enough that I will get it from the library though.
I Just started reading Physik - book three in the Septimus Heap series. It is good so far but it is too early to tell. All that has really happened is that  Silas has unleashed the ghost of a queen from centuries ago and she is now taking over the castle staring with Jenna the young princess. We shall see how it goes from there.

This Month: Ranger's Apprentice and The Lost Hero!!

Starting The Red Pyramid tonight. I can't wait, though I am kinda hesitant about starting it because there are no other books out in the series. I will probably just drive myself crazy, like normal.
Getting another Amazon giftcard soon, and then I can buy Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex and Ranger's Apprentice Book 9:Halt's Peril!!!! I can't wait to buy that book!!! It is at the top of my reading list, and will be checked off ASAP! Also, The Lost Hero will be coming out in the next couple days, that will be read quickly too. =D
Haha, well it's late, and I better read so I can get to sleep so I will be able to wake up tomorrow, haha.
