i started reading the sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. the first book, The Lost Hero is very, very good. maybe it's because the later books in the Percy Jackson series started to dull out as it started to end, but this first book is much more exciting than the entire last half of the first series. i'm only a quarter of the way in and i'm already finding it so hard to put down. which is problematic cause i have school readings that need to be read first.
i'm going to get back to reading some more before i work on some school stuff.
