Riordan's series is EXCELLENT! Completely pissed me off about the movie, as they totally screwed up the novel. I've read the 1st Last Survivor book and loved it, but couldn't get into the 2nd and had to put it aside for now. I was unaware that there was a 3rd. Interesting!
I've been putting off the Percy Jackson series forever and I figured now was a good time to force myself to read all of them.I just read the first Last Survivor book last week and I really liked it but looking at the reviews for the rest of the series they do just seem to get worse...maybe I'll swap that out for something else.

Finished Roman's Heart by Sharon Sala and while this was a re-read for me, it's been awhile and it was as good as I remember it! Daisy/Holly was a strong character and while I some issues with language (at one point, Daisy/Holly says - tearfully, of course - "Roman, I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you!" gag me with a spoon!), it was nevertheless an enjoyable read!
