Kindle is having a Rick Riordan sale, so I bought The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4) by Rick Riordan The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #3) by Rick Riordan The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5) by Rick Riordan

I have not jumped on the Rick Riordan bandwagon yet and since everyone raves about these, I probanly should!

Should I grab the other series as well? :)

The Kane Chronicles are my favorite :) I would definitely get those too! I've only read the first 2 of the Heroes of Olympus series, but those were also awesome! Magnus Chase was probably my least favorite, but still good! They are all fun, quick reads.


message 7613: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments @Karen The Percy Jackson series / HoO series are my favorites! <3 I just traded for a copy of The Red Pyramid so maybe if you buy the e-book we could buddy read it! :)

I still have one book left in the Percy Jackson series, but I love them! Tried one of his other books, but didn't like it as much as the Percy Jackson ones.

message 7628: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments Thanks Jenny! I have always loved the white UK Throne of Glass books so I decided to start collecting them as well, since I already own the US versions haha. I've loved everything I've read by Ness so I'm excited to get into his trilogy. I've been told I need to read them via book not ebook to get the full effect so I'm working on collecting them to read. And I'm super excited to read Ari and Dante, I've heard so many great things! It's going to be an excellent reading summer!!!

At ComiCon today, I got paperbacks of Alien by Alan Dean Foster and Aliens by Alan Dean Foster and a hardback of The Force Awakens (Star Wars) by Alan Dean Foster and met Alan Dean Foster who signed them all. :)

I also got Sleeping Giants (Themis Files, #1) by Sylvain Neuvel and The Passage (The Passage, #1) by Justin Cronin paperbacks from Del Rey Publishing's booth who were giving copies away! :) I already have the hardbacks, but who can resist free books, especially when they're favorites! I can never have enough copies! ;) I'll use the freebies as loaners.
