The Hidden Oracle!
Thanks to everyone who came to our launch event in Boston on Tuesday, May 3! We had a sold-out crowd and I loved hearing your questions and sharing your enthusiasm. And thanks to everyone on social media who has already responded to the new series with such love and appreciation. I’ve got the best readers in the world! It’s always a relief to me when I hear that I met your expectations in a new volume.
If you haven’t picked up your copy of The Hidden Oracle yet, it is now available anywhere books are sold in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. I’m not sure about the other markets. I don’t get that info. But if it’s not yet available where you live, I’m sure the publishers are working hard to get it into your hands as soon as possible!
And if you missed the usual “Coming in 2017” at the end of The Hidden Oracle, I did too! Here is the title of book two, which will be here next October:
Also the Rick Riordan website has just had a facelift. Check it out and let me know what you think!
The post The Hidden Oracle! appeared first on Rick Riordan.

Same. I am happy that school doesn't start for a while.
Well it seems like only 4 of us didn't start at school yet. But The time is pretty different too. When I post a comment here many of you are at school or asleep. It Is morning when I post. 8:49
Right now it is 4:58pm where I am. I guess your what, 9 hours behind me? I do like how in Australia we get the day before nearly everyone else though. That's cool.
It Is pretty cool. I Think 8 hour.
Do you guys have daylight savings where you live?
I am not sure. If you mean saving electricity when it is daylight only in summer and not in winter.
Daylight savings is when in summer all the clocks go forward an hour so that it is sunnier later in the day. It is STUPID.
Yep. We call it summer tme and Winter time :PI am sorry about not understanding but English is not my first Language.
Yeah I know but you actually speak better English than some of my classmates do.
Probably because they don't read. Reading definitely helps.
Yeah I know I became better because of reading. And Someone of my friend started to read English books because of that but I am doing that because it is my hobby and the English books are much better than the translated once.
Originals are the best in most cases. For everything.
And I can't agree more. If turns out I was stupid to read many book translated, but that is because I didn't read so much books before.
Well, you would have to read the translated versions if you didn't know the language of the originals I guess.
I guess that is why they try to make books into movies; to translate them into a format people are more familiar with or prefer. Sometimes the translations work and other times- not so much.

Actually I haven't been on a vacation for 2-3 years.
I am guessing the both of you are sleeping right now.
Nope I am still awake. I Might sleep soon.
What's the time over there? Here is 1:16pm

But It turns out it is actually better in the originals.
Like Kitten said somethings are better when there the original thing.
I Mean pm sorry I use my phone to post it.

That is a reason why I only post on my computer.

With what I was saying about how originals are always best I was just thinking how that isn't just with books. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best TV show ever created in the history of human existence, but in the movie version they changed Joss Whedon's original script and made it just a comedy instead of comedy horror. Then they used his original ideas in the TV series and it was AWESOME.
Hmm... maybe if they stuck to Rick Riordan's original story than the movies wouldn't have been as big of a FLOP in the PJO fandom. Don't get me wrong, the movies are cute in their own way (mostly in Logan Lerman's general awesomeness), it's just not Percy Jackson. Maybe if they restarted it and turned it into a mini-series.... but then again my friend that is a HUGE fan of the Mortal Instruments told me that when they recently revamped it into a TV series that they did almost a worse job than what they did with the movie. So I will just patiently wait and see if the PJO/HOO will finally be given the good movie that they deserve.

Yeah,all we have to do is wait and be patient until somethings comes out.

I heard that CW has a budget for one and a half seasons of a Percy Jackson Tv show. They also have a 10 year contract already made with the cast of they decide to make the show.

That would be so cool. Maybe. It depends again on how much they keep of the original.
It makes more sense to turn a book into a tv series in my opinion because the story in the book is often too long for a movie. I mean, you wouldn't usually finish a novel in 100 minutes. Also I just personally prefer tv series to movies.
Did you hear that they are making divergent into a tv series? My friends were all saying how bad it was going to be. Especially since the actors who play tris and four said they won't do a series so they would have to get new actors. Also I have never read divergent and only see the first movie I didn't like it much it looked kinda boring.

I might actually start watching it if it becomes a TV series because like I said before I much prefer tv series to movies.
But I probably won't get the chance to watch it anyway because I already watch too much tv.I watch Angel, Star Trek:Voyager and Buffy and I am hoping to watch Veronica Mars, Firefly, Star Trek: Next Gen, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and probably some others I am forgetting. And when they come out: Supergirl and Doctor Who. Plus I have to show my brother Charmed.
It's a wonder I ever get my homework done. Speaking of that, I should move my phone away from my desk so I stop getting distracted from my maths homework.
Not me actually still have 1-2 weeks. I begin in school 22th"
Me too
