Rick Riordan and John Flanagan = Brilliant Authors

Finished The Lost Hero (Rick Riordan)! It was amazing. Not only does Riordan keep the greek mythology but he adds the roman mythology too! It got confusing but it turned out wonderfully. It also goes into more detail on some of the gods not dwelled upon in the Percy Jackson series. Also a main characture is a son of a Roman god so you have a little bit of conflict there. Jason, Piper and Leo go on a quest that leads them from Nevada to New York City to Quebec to California. They have the time of their lives as they look for Piper's dad and the godess Hera, and try to get back Jason's memories (convienently taken by Hera, that dumb godess haha). Annabeth, Chiron, and Rachel also are in it as very minor charactures and Percy is mentioned, he will hopefully be in the next book. The book is filled with the comedy from the original series that everybody found enjoyable. Riordan did an another amazing job and I can't wait for the sequel!
While I wait for Riordan to write and the library to get books (and to go buy books myself) I am reading again, The Kings of Clonmel (book 8 of Ranger's Apprentice series). I love that book. It has adventure, fantasy and plenty of comedy. Again, Horace joins Will and Halt as they go rescue the neighboring country of Clonmel on the island of Hibernia, from a religious cult trying to take control of the island then work their way back over to Areluen. Halt has already some practice with this type of difficulty and this cult specically. It is, again, up to Halt, Will and Horace to save the day.
Not doing much else with reading, hopefully I will be soon.

Slowing Down

Okay, didn't finish Anne of Green Gables series....didn't even finish that book. Oh, well. Today I got the Lost Hero from the library!! I'm so excited! I started it imedietly. I just got passed the part where the sneak peek left off. It's good so far, one character doesn't who he is, another is being controlled by the bad guy and Percy (yes, Percy Jackson and Annabeth are back) is missing. Very exciting! This book should be finished soon!
Since Christmas is drawing near I have been expanding my wish list to include MORE books! Also, I bought a book for my brother, though I'm debating if it's going to be a christmas gift or birthday since his birthday in January. I guess he will just have to wait and see.
I will eventually finish Anne of Green Gables....maybe. =) But I am hoping to soon be buying Halt's Peril for myself. VERY soon, I'm not sure how much longer I can stand it. ;) I will survive, but I still really want that book.
My reading is kinda slow lately, I've been getting busy, but I hope to finish a couple more books before the end of the year!

Matters At Mansfeild

Just finished Matters At Mansfeild (by Carrie Bebris). Man, that was such a confusing book, but it didn't get confusing untill about the middle of the book. It got to the point that somebody died then he wasnt dead and then he was dead and so on. But it was hysterical! I loved it, and can't wait to read the other books by Bebris.
Since I had no books really from the library (I'm waiting for The Lost Hero), I picked up again, Anne of Ingleside. It took a while for me to get back into it. Poor Anne, she attempts again at match making but it turns out that the people she tried to get togther were already engaged. Haha, Anne says she is done match making for the rest of her days. Hopefully, I might be able to finish this series before getting the Lost Hero.

Trying Out A Mystery...

Finished Physik! Again another fun book by Angie Sage. This one was a little different. It had a new bad guy and a couple new characters. Snorri and her NightUllr, Ullr, become the center of several of the chapters and help Jenna and Nicko find Septimus. Septimus has been sent back 500 years by a glass. This was all planned by a not so dead ghost, Queen Ethledredda (I may have spelled that wrong. It's horrible to pronounce). Of course Marcia, and Alther are in it, it wouldn't be a Septimus Heap book with out them! I very much enjoyed this one, especially since Marcia was more of a minor character and Spit Fyre took her spot. =D
My dad bought me a book last week. It is one of the million books written about Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy (main characters of Pride and Prejudice). Though this one is a little different. It's a mystery. The author (Carrie Bebris) has written three other similar novels. Using the elegant speech of that amazing time period she creates a world never told by Jane Austen. Though not a Austen novel, she does an amazing job of copying the style of writting and complicated grammer, not to mention the huge words, it is one of the funniest books I have ever read!
Tomorrow, I hope to get Queste (4th book of the Septimus Heap series) from the library. I'm looking forward to that.
Hopefully soon, I will have the Lost Hero (book 1 of the Heroes of Olympus series) in my temporary possesion from the libray, but I can imagine the line of people that are waiting for that book so it may be awhile.
