Theo So...I've had some extra time this week and have turned into a reading machine. This also means that I have read three of my posted five, and am starting on the other two.

message 375: by Theo (new)

Theo Finished The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan and I think I liked it better than The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan ! Maybe I'm just more comfortable with the characters.

Which one should I read next?
