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..."
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.
I am reading In Search of a Memory by Pamela Griffin. I love it so far!

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. She drives me crazy--and she's not even physically present during the book's events, technically!

I finished Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin last night. I loved it, it was excellent!! Next up for me is Learning by Karen Kingsbury. It is the second book in her Bailey Flanigan series.

Not reading it yet, but I have to read a book of condensed versions of Shakespeare's plays for Scholar's Bowl. And I have to read my driver's ed manual...I also have to read The Republic for Law Academy. Has anyone else here been put through The Republic?

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.
