The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

I have recently discovered that I have not blogged about The Lost Hero yet.  That's crazy!  So, here I am, blogging about it.  Sorry it took so long. As you may have gathered from previous Heroes of Olympus posts, the main characters in this story are Jason, Leo, and Piper. Jason doesn't know where he is, what he is, or why all this is happening.  He keeps having weird thoughts and can fluently speak in Latin.  After arriving at Camp Half-Blood, Jason slowly starts to remember who he is, and it's not all good.  Because where he comes from could be a danger to his new friends. Piper McLean has an amnesiac boyfriend...who might not be her boyfriend, she was just tossed off the edge of the Grand Canyon, and her dad could be in trouble.  A giant keeps coming to her in her dreams and telling her she can save her dad, if she betrays her friends.  Piper has a very important choice to make, and she's running out of time. Leo Valdez is funny and s...

Happy New Year everyone!  It is officially 2014, and I need to begin updating my blog once again.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to blog at least once a week, and to read more often, because in this past year I've been lagging.  It's been about three years since I started this blog, and I want to thank you all for reading and commenting.  I hope your coming year is better than the last, you deserve it. ~Kayla

Let's give thanks for books

Hello everyone!!  Today in America, it's Thanksgiving!  And something I'm thankful for is books!!  So many wonderful, amazing books.  I'm also thankful to all my blog readers, because without you I would be a lonely blogger writing posts about books I've read and no one would be reading them.  So thank you all.  Have a wonderful day, and eat lots of turkey! P.S.  If anyone is interested in reading the Velesi Trilogy (The Binding, The Drifting, and The Whispering), Amazon is having a Black Friday sale, and the first book is FREE!  The link to the author's page is below for more details. http://lfilloon.blogspot.com/2013/11/black-friday-sale.html

Hello!  First, I wanted to share a fun fact. Fun fact!  Did you know that in the month of October, I got the most page views in one month that I have ever had before?  October sets the record with 380 views!  Thanks so much readers, that is so awesome! Secondly, as you all know, The House of Hades came out October 8th.  After I read it, and re-read it, and then re-re-read it, I started the entire Percy Jackson series over again.  I've already posted about the PJ series, but in case you didn't read it, here is the magical links that will take you there: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Books 1,2, and 3 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 4 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 5 Also, I've been re-reading the Artemis Fowl series!  I know, why read so many books all over again.  Well it's been like 2 years and they were books I thoroughly enjoyed.  Here's the old links to those: Artemis Fowl: Books 1-7 There is also one more book, ...

The House of Hades by Rick Riordan

Leo, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Frank, and Nico are sailing the Argo II, trying to reach the Doors of Death in Epirus, Greece.  Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth are struggling through Tartarus, trying to get to the Doors of Death on their side. The crew on the Argo II have many challenges to face, new enemies and old.  Hazel runs into the goddess Hecate, but Hecate might be fighting for Gaea.  Nico and Jason face Cupid, leaving one of Nico's biggest secrets in the open.  Frank takes a step in the direction of his father, changing him for the better or worse.  Leo, Jason, and Piper face an old enemy, which leads to Leo facing a harder challenge than he ever imagined. Camp Jupiter is ready for war against Camp Half-Blood, and the seven can't do anything to stop it without sending someone back to the camp.  Old friends make an appearance, including Rachel Elizabeth Dare and the love-able Grover Underwood.  Octavian and Reyna also are back, and Octavian is an ann...

Fan-girling like Crazy

First, I'd like to thank everyone who voted and commented.  In case you were interested, To Kill a Mockingbird won, so I'll be reading that book once I get it from the library. Second, I'd like to apologize for not blogging the last two Saturdays.  I had dance things.  Sorry!  But I will for sure blog this Saturday. Third, just so it's clear to everyone I'm going to define the title.  More specifically, fangirling. To fangirl is to adore something.  I fan-girl over books, chocolate, and One Direction.  Lots of people fangirl over Nutella.  But fan-girling is more than just liking something.  You also have to mention it at least once in daily conversation. Ex: "Oh my gosh, we were working on our project and all I could think about was Nutella.  I love it so much!  I NEED Nutella or I think I'll die." In fan-girling, you also get "the feels" about whatever it is you fangirl over. Ex: "You got me a whole jar of Nu...
