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.

I always ask for the new books they can buy in, and if I have nothing left that I would read. I always ask librarian to give me advice of which book they would read.

But my friends
a) have books that i already own
b) don't have similar tastes in books
c) are not bookworms like me.
I also get a good # of books from my library but just not by taking them out... I volunteer there and one of the things I do is red books before they come out and then review them, I think for the library's website....
I actually got a book 6 months before it comes out and it still won't come out until October. Now I'm seeing all these promos for it and I feel kinda weird like that it has already come out. But for a voracious reader, there are DEFINITELY worse problems you can have. ;p

My hair color is brown and when I'm outside it kind of looks like a really dark red.
Base on how I look am definiley either piper or reyna can't decide.
KittenHestia wrote: "It seems most of us have a dark hair colour"I also have black hair, but I dont think I would be any from the book because I looks like a chinese girl. :P

I don't think you are very much like her but Drew was Asian I think.

Yeah. Drew was Asian. I don't look like any of the characters from HoO. The closest description would probably be Annabeth's eyes with Piper's hair. :(
Well I would try to dress up like her. But I cant use make up. (Have never learned to use it :P).Seems like everyone would try to dress up like a character from the series. :)
The only thing is to make a Camp half-blood t-shirt and necklace.
Yeah I know where you can get them online I was thinking of doing cosplay for a pop culture convention but then decided against it. I dunno how to use make up much either I only ever sometimes use lipstick. I once tried eyeliner... didn't really work.
I also tried once in class picture but it didnt go very well. I dont think it would be a costume party where I go at school. It is only for 1-4 grade

That's a reason why I never go to parties :P
Jasmine wrote: "Did you read the Heir and Crown?"LOVE that book!
Kang Ying wrote: "That's a reason why I never go to parties :P"yeah trust me.....its not worth it

I take extreme precautions in buying my books.

I dunno h..."SAME! I love nail polish for toes, but for hands, it is a different story. I like polish on my fingers, but when I get it, I am too careful with things. I can't put on seat-belts, turn on lights, or anything. Once I do chip it, I want to chip them all! It is a big mess, but luckily, I just got gel on my nails and gel is very secure! It does mess up the nail bed and chips off within a few weeks, but overall it is still good!
I borrowed miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children from my friend Harmony and I accidentally left a bit of a red line on the page from my nail polish... oops. Also I tried to blue tack things to the wall and now that has red lines too. It's almost like a style now: all of my fingers have nail polish on the top half but not the bottom anyway got to go to class now 5th period health ugh bye
I am glad that I dont have any school until 22th august. Actually I only wear nail polish in summer. I only use it on my feet and never use it on my hands.
In Australia since summer is at the end of the year that is when we get our longest (6 week) holiday. It's winter here, so I'm guessing it's summer where you are?
It's so annoying that because all the Christmas traditions were invented for winter they don't really work as well in Australia where Christmas is in Summer. Plus, the people who invented these holidays seemed to put them all at the start and end of the year. There is nothing to do in the middle in Winter. Except freeze. And read books.
The only reason I am annoyed with the cold weather is that at school we have to stay outside any time we are not in class. It's so cold and I'm not used to winter because I used to live further north than I live now (not specifying where) and since it was closer to the equator it was warmer there. We barely had any winter at all.

Well same here only 3-4 weeks left in the holiday then I start on 10 grade.
Actually it is pretty cold here too in winter. -20 in january the coldest month. The wierd thing is that the longest holiday is in summer and not in winter. I really wish that the longest holiday is in winter, because it is pretty cold here.
its extremely hot over here....95 degrees can't even go outside....i have to live in the A.C
Do you use Fahrenheit or Celcius? I use Celcius.
I use Celcius too, here it's 19 C and 66F
Val wrote: "I use Celcius too, here it's 19 C and 66F"Is it summer or winter where you are? I dunno because in Sydney for example, that would be winter but in other places it could be summer.
Ah, summer so hot you get a sunburn the moment you step outside.Were I live we use Celcius.
It's summer. it's weird because it's supposed to be sunny, but now it's raining all the day. Also were I lived we use Celsius
Yeah most places use Celcius just a few use Fahrenheit like America I don't get why, they should just use Celcius like the rest of the world.
I agree. We also use celcius here.
It is pretty not that hot here. Only 22 celsius where I live
In Australia's summer it doesn't usually get under 20 degrees. But I HATE IT when it is 40.And I get allergies in summer so I definitely prefer winter weather.
Well it is pretty like in China too, but I havent been ther for 2 years. I got allergies in late spring till early summer.
I prefer cold temperatures more than warm temperatures
I think more people prefer cold than hot.I prefer cold which is weird since I live in a pretty hot place.
I think America doesn't use Celsius because of them wanting to be their own country. I can nust imagine the Founding Fathers. "YOU KNOW WHAT, THOMAS?" "Yes, George...." "LET'S MAKE OUR OWN SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT FOR WEATHER AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING!" "George, I don't think-" "FARENHEIT WILL BE THE WEATHER AND A FOOT WOULD BE 12.....INCHES AND A YARD IS 3 FEET! YES IT'S ALL COMING TO ME!" "Oh no...."DISCLAIMER: This did not happen at all. I just thought it was funny.
Hahaha, true. It's funny. Right now I am reading, what are you doing?

Never been there but, other wise I know about the store.
