What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I just finished reading The Son Of Neptune (number two in The Heroes of Olympus, which is the sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians).

Oh. My. Word.

I am so EXCITED! I can't wait until The Mark Of Athena comes out...I saw it was being released in Fall 2012, and then I was like, "Yay! It's coming out this fall!" Then I was like, "Oh, wait, that's not right..." :-k

Still, I really love these, and I am so excited for it. Percy got to narrate again. We got to see Camp More-Whoop-Awesome-Than-Thou. Y'know, stuff that made the fandom rejoice.

I finished Valley of Dreams by Lauraine Snelling. It was excellent!! My only complaint is I have to wait until the second book to find out what happens. Next up for me is Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin.

I just finished the Crowfield Curse by Pat Walsh. I don't think I would recomened it to anyone, it was more about fictional creatures and dark forces surounding the'death' of a Angel. It was intresting and very creepy.

Lord of the Flies for school, not particularly enjoyable and a mystery modeled after Jane Austins Writting Style.

I just read a book called "The Amanda Project" by Melissa Kantor. An interesting book, except for the fact that everything revolves around an obnoxious Mary Sue named Amanda Valencino. :x She drives me crazy--and she's not even physically present during the book's events, technically!

I finished Learning by Karen Kingsbury. It was excellent as her books usually are, I can't wait for the third book. Up next for me is As the Sparks Fly Upward by Gilbert Morris. It is the third (and sadly) final book in his Winslow Breed Trilogy.
