asked:
What order are you supposed to read Rick Riordan's books in? I've started the Percy Jackson series but I want to know if I should finish this series and then start the heroes of Olympus series or can I start the heroes of Olympus series now.

It's best to start with the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series:
The Lighting Thief
The Sea of Monsters
The Titan's Curse
The Battle of the Labyrinth
The Last Olympian
(There is also The Demigod Files -which has short stories - and the graphic novels of The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters and The Titan's Curse to look into. )
The Kane Chronicles:
The Red Pyramid
The Throne of Fire
The Serpent's Shadow
(The Kane Chronicles: Survival Guide and the graphic novel of The Red Pyramid)
The Heroes of Olympus:
The Lost Hero
The Son of Neptune
The Mark of Athena
The House of Hades
The Blood of Olympus
(The Demigod Diaries and the graphic novel of The Lost Hero; the Percy Jackson-Kane Chronicles Crossover Stories: The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis and The Crown of Ptolemy are collected in Demigods & Magicians. There are also Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes and Percy Jackson's Greek Gods)
*Rick's books are ongoing and these two series are of the same world as the later published works.
The Trials of Apollo (Upcoming 5 Book Series):

*Camp Half-Blood Confidential
