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.

Now I'm Wingless

Finished Flyte!! Okay so I waited on Wingless, not Flyte. Haha. But Flyte was good, but I felt like I was waiting for the plot to begin. It was kinda weird. I liked it alot, I was satisfied with the ending. I'm not sure what book is next in the series, but I will hopefully get it soon.
I went to the library the other day and serched the author of The Percy Jackson Series. The Kane Series came up. Only one book is out so far, and it was on the shelf, so I checked it out. It's called the Red Pyramid. I haven't started it yet, but it looks really good.
Will start Wingless tonight!!

Vacation Reading

I went on vacation last week to Assateague Island. When I went I gave myself a challenge. Six books, one week. I brought with me, Flabbergasted, Eon, Flyte (Septimus Heap series #2), The Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl series #7), Leviathan and Mountain Pose. I finished Flabergasted, read The Atlantis Complex and Leviathan and began Flyte.
I began Flabergasted a while ago (written by Ray Blackston), but never really gotten into it. It was a book written from a 27-year-old guy's point of view. Not exactly what I'm into. But it was good and I got through it.
I gave up on Eon. It is written well, but it has the dumbest plot, I think. It just drones on and on and ON! I just can't seem to finish it.
The Alantis Complex was another amazing edition to the Artemis Fowl series. This one was a little weird though because Artemis gets a dual personality by the name of Orion who is in love with Holly. Weird, right? But it still was an Artemis Fowl book.
Leviathan was a really good book. I highly enjoyed it. It is written by Scott Westerfeild, best selling author Uglies. It has two main charactures, Alek and Deryn. It is placed in Austia-Hungry, Britain, and Switzerland right as World War I begins. It has a twist to it as Britain and her allies are called the Darwinists who have thier animal-crafts and Austia-Hungry, Germany and thier allies are called the Clankers and have metal walking machines. Unfortunatly, I have to wait for the sequal to come out in oder to finish the story.
I began Flyte the day before leaving on vacation. I haven't gotten that far into it, only the forth chapter, but already you know who one of the bad guys is. I am really looking forward to getting into that book.
But Flyte will have to wait a little while. Today, I was given a book written by a friend of mine's older brother. It isn't published yet, but he was a writting major in college and would like to get it published. His book is called Wingless and is about Faeries who get trapped in our world, adapt and become wingless, all the while hoping that their native people will come and rescue them. I am excited to begin it!
I have not read Mountain Pose at all. A friend of my sister's let me borrow it. I'm not sure how much I will like it, but we shall see.
That's all I have for now,

Stupid Mistake...

I am going to go CRAZY!!!!
I made a mistake in going to the camphalfblood website to read the preview to The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus series), and now I'm hooked and the book doesn't even come out till OCTOBER!!! It is killing me!!!
Well the next Artemis Fowl book is out and I'm waiting to read that. And the next Ranger's Apprentice book is coming out in October!
Well really I'm just waiting for books and trying to get through the ones I get from the library...right now my reading life is boring and annoying!!!!

The Percy Jackson series is officially finished!!!!! The Last Olympian was amazing, lots of battles. I was mostly satisfied with the ending, though it kind of left it open to another book. The Author is working on another series that is coming out soon about Camp Half-blood but different charectures. I will miss Percy and Annabeth, but hopefully they will be minor charectures AT LEAST!!
Started Eon, it is a good book, but would not recomend it for guys or children under 11. Has some references that does not need to be discussed with small children. But is interesting and put in an asian setting, which is amazing! Eon is already starting his adventures. We shall see how it ends, it seems to be taking longer to finish than I expected.
Also got Labryinth from the library. It is set in World War II and Labrynth is the name of the ship. Don't know much else.
Amazon is amazing!! Bought 8 books for just over 50 dollars!!! Thanks to my dad giving me gift cards. =) I bought the first 3 Artemis Fowl and the whole Percy Jackson series. Unfortunately they are all in paperback. And I also made the mistake in not checking all the books to make sure they were what I want. They second Artemis Fowl (The Artic Incident) was actually written in a comic book way instead of the actual book. Whoops. But I have decided not to return it but buy actual book and give the comic to my brother because he would enjoy that more than I would.
Reading more tonight..

Finally finished Magyk. It didn't take me as long as Inkdeath but it still seemed to take forever. It is a good book, I predicted the ending and (of course) I was right ;).
Tonight, I'm debating if I should finish The Last Olympian or start Eon. I think I will finish The Last Olympian. Eon can wait, hopefully....
