books books books!!!

Ready for something I haven't done yet??
tell you about books.
After watching the percy jackson movie
drew decided he wanted to read the books.

so he whipped out his library card and got the book on ipod. 

He has a pretty physical yet lonely job. 
so he listens to books because he doesn't have time to sit down and read them. 
I was busy cruising though the harry potters for the millionth time.
then they didn't have the last book on ipod so we went out and bought the first one and the last one
one for me one for him. 
I zooooomed though the series and actually finished before him.

what's cool is rick riordin (or whatshisname)
ended the percy jackson series but kept the story going in a new series
The heroes of Olympus
which is awesome it's like stopping harry potter and then keeping the story going through someone elses experiences and point of view and a whole different (more grown up like) writing style
there is only one book out of the new series
THE LOST HERO
and it rocked my socks off.
until the last line I didn't fully grasp a part of it
and then it hits you BAM 
(so don't read the last line first you crazies)
the next one comes out in the fall.
I'm buying it the second it comes out
eeee! It's the harry potter joy all over again

soo. I've read 8 books in the last week and a half. 
what should I read next? any books you love?
give me lots of suggestions because I'm on a reading roll and I've read a lot of books.

  2. So I had to check your blog when you mentioned books so passionately in the title. I have so many recommendations, I hardly know where to begin. To go off of the reference to general scify/fantasty above, here are some of my favorites:

    Beauty-Rose McKinley
    East-Edith Pattou
    The Wind Singer-William Nicholson
    Slaves of the Mastery-William Nicholson
    Firesong-William Nicholson
    Enchantment-Orson Scott Card (Although to be honest, anything by him is AMAZING)
    His Dark Materials (series)-Phillip Pullman
    Loosing Christina-Caroline B. Cooney
    Isolde-Rosalind Miles
    Eragon-Christopher Paolini
    Eldest-Christopher Paolini
    Brisinger-Christopher Paolini
    Inheritance-Christopher Paolini

    If you want other genre suggestions, I can hit you up with more.

    Happy Reading!
