I like the fact you got it for yourself as a Christmas gift ! I always end up doing that myself during the holidays ... always end up buying myself things as well as everyone else !
Wow, to have all of her novels in one book ... must be a pretty big book ! I'm obsessed by antique books; I collect them. My Northanger Abby is from 1898.
Set in the United States, the books are predominantly based on Greek mythology.
I'd highly recommend this series for anybody who's a fan of greek myth or lookin for the next "Harry Potter" franchise, the characters are appealin, not a dull moment in the series. Rick Riordan knows how to put a reader on the edge of their seat yet keep the fun light.
There's a total of 5 books all together and there will be a whole new sequel to the series tentivly titled, Camp Half Blood
Maybe at this point just discussing books we're reading individually would make sense. Maybe we could make a guideline, like discussion topics, on books we're reading individually, and then maybe that'll inspire someone ele to read that book...?
