from Rick Riordan's site The Mark of Athena October 2, 2012 Annabeth is terrified.  Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the  Argo II , she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand:  Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me.  Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her? Annabeth’s biggest fear...

I have been a Rick Riordan fan since I saw Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief movie, I like the story in the movie but just as expected the book is way better so I read the whole series of Percy Jackson and The Olympians and decided to Rick Riordinside story an books. One because I have always been interested with the Gods. Back when I was in high school in World Literature I always find myself listening attentively to my teacher's inside story of the Gods. Two I like how Rick Riordan relate the Gods to modern times which I have mentioned when I blogged about Percy Jackson's book (click here  for a little back track). Three, the story is light but push you at the edge of your seat. The words used are simple and easily understood that makes the reading enjoyable and exciting. The first two books of the Kane Chronicles The last installation in the series With this three book series of the Kane Chronicles the author used a style that has reader's participation, it...

I loved Percy Jackson from the moment I watched it until the last page of The Last Olympian so it is no surprise that I patiently awaits another book that will have Percy Jackson in it. I read the first book The Lost Hero but quite disappointed that Percy is missing, that's why I'm excited with the second book which most probably star Percy, well who could be Neptune's Son right? probably Tyson? Love the cover too. Will be available on October 4, 2011 To read the first chapter click here

"There is nothing more heavenly than a bookstore on sale" those were the phrase I tweeted when I didn't expect that the bookstore is on sale. I was merely looking for something to read, because I devoured all the pending books I have. Needless to say I had a panic buying situation when I was in the bookstore, and though paycheck is still not in I relayed on the little plastic that I have, (will remember to add that on my monthly dues). Unlike retail therapy or impulsive buying I didn't feel guilty afterwards, I was happy and can't wait to read them all. My only dilemma now is what to read first. All of them are in my book list that I can't wait to read. Two of the books not pictured is "A Kiss in Time" by Alex Finn and "Throne of Fire" by Rick Riordan, that I finished already and are in the list of borrowed books.
