(Spoilers for The Mark of Athena)
So, I just finished A Dog's Purpose. I still get shame from enjoying a dog book so much. But the people, you will love the people. And, let me just say, my gosh, let all the authors of the world be a little bit more like W. Bruce Cameron and tell the readers all about their lives and all the people and things in their lives that ended up in their books or helped shape the way it was written! Shout-out to the writers that just love to write and could write all day about whatever's going on with them or whatever crazy idea they thought of and will just write to the world about all those things. They are the greatest. And to the readers who are willing to just read those things! You're awesome too.
Now... the day has finally come!!! I'm going to read/reread the Heroes of Olympus series!
For those of you who weren't with me awhile ago on the blog, I had started reading Heroes of Olympus. I read The Lost Hero. Then I read The Son of Neptune. But when I got to the end of that... I sadly realized that the third book, The Mark of Athena, hadn't come yet. What?! I have this thing that I call the Booklist, and, I made it so I could keep track of all the books I wanted to read, but I wouldn't be reading one series in the middle of reading another. It made my head feel more organized. So I was totally defeated when I couldn't finish this series. I couldn't just move on to the next series on the list!!! And I certainly couldn't just not read for that amount of time! So instead I had some books I wanted to reread, my two favorite fandoms at the time (Harry Potter and Hunger Games, now Percy Jackson is added to the list), and some new books I had gotten that were part of a never-ending series (Princess Academy and Nancy Drew, for example) and the sequels to not-never-ending seri that I didn't know weren't never-ending seri at the time (For example, A Dog's Purpose). So, I decided, I would start back at the top of the list and do some rereading and reading, until I got back to Heroes of Olympus, and by then I would be able to finish the entire series. Well, school had me pretty busy so for a while I couldn't read at all, and I also learned from Nancy Drew that you don't want to read if the book isn't good, so for quite a few months all of the Heroes of Olympus books have been out. Only now have I finally caught up to the list and I can read them all! I'll be rereading The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune, then reading for the first time The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades, and The Blood of Olympus.
This is a spin-off series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, about three kids named Jason (who doesn't remember who he is), Piper (who had a really scary dream), and Leo (who is your comic relief with a super deep past). And, it's a super bomb series. Of course, you have all probably read them all already so please don't tell me anything!!! (I was so mad at my friend when he told me Annabeth and Percy fell into Tartarus)
Happy reading, love you mean it!
