Myths, demigods, and heros

I guess my reading time will get even shorter and my second cup of coffee will start being in my travel mug starting Monday! I want to hear about the books you have read over the summer, especially since I will be working on getting my first book order ready. Are there new book discoveries that I need to order for the media center? Let me know soon!

If you haven't read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan then you really need to try it! I wasn't sure that I would like it when I started reading the first one (The Lightning Thief) but it only took a few pages to get me hooked. Right now I'm reading the second book, The Sea of Monsters, and it's just as great as the first! Within the first 5-6 pages the action starts and, so far, hasn't quit. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson (Percy's new friend) have to try and save Camp Half-Blood before the monsters, from the underworld, destroy it. I haven't had a lot of time to read lately but, when I do, this is hard to put down! My goal is to finish before Monday. Am I going to make it? I'll let you know.

Later!

Where did the summer go?


Well, we are at the end of summer and I haven't accomplished everything on my "to do list". Is anyone that knows me surprised? I don't think so. I have cleaned out and had a yard sale with friends which is one of the things I had planned/needed to do. I have also taken time to enjoy reading some good books, watch butterflies & birds, and enjoy my morning coffee! I've got some really great books to tell you about and I hope you have some to share with me!
