Book #2 and #3

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

I found it a little difficult to work through the second tale in the Percy Jackson series. I was not as invested in the characters and I was just completely uninterested in this latest quest (retrieving the Golden Fleece). It lacked the excitement and refreshment of the first tale. Plus, I could care less about the Cyclops.

Still, I am pushing through the series, now with Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse. Hopefully, this has a little bit more action.

Book #1 of 2010

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan- in progress.

I finished 2009 by reading the first book in the Percy Jackson series, so figured that I should start off the new year with the next book in line. I'll admit, I was not tempted to read the series until I saw the trailer for the new movie, when I thought, "Hmm, maybe this will actually be an exciting tale." Come to think of it, the same thing happened with Harry Potter...

Anyway, I completed by 2009 book challenge by reading 60 books, so I suppose I'll aim for that goal again, if not more. I am uber excited to not be in class this semester, so hopefully I'll have even more time for reading. Although, I am becoming extremely sidetracked by Lost right now. Before the winter holidays. I decided to give the series a go. Of course, I got completely hooked and obsessed. I just began season 3, and my oh my, I am so excited to see what is in store for the Lostaways.
