Series Saturday: The Percy Jackson Series By Rick Riordan

This series has been well-known for a couple of years, and if you haven't hear or read it, THEN READ IT! This summer, I've finally finished reading the entire series. It's about a demigod named Percy Jackson who's son to the Greek god, Poseidon and has to face dangerous, life-threatening adventures with his friends Annabeth and Grover to stop the Titans who wants to take over Olympus.

What I love about Rick Riordan's work is that you just can't expect anything. If you think one thing, in the story, it'll end up being another thing. His work is just perfect, and that's what makes it very addicting and hard to put down. Now I'm reading the second book of Heroes of Olympus, Son of Neptune, and I've been hooked. He always wrote the Kane Chronicles and a couple of short stories. Along with helping to write the 32 Clues (I think that's what it's called) series.

I'd like to give this series 5 nerdy cats, and I strongly suggest you check out Rick Riordan's work if you haven't. Trust me, he is amazing! I will post my Indigo Spell review on Tuesday. I hope you guys have an amazing Labor Day weekend! :)


I'm Back!

Hey guys! I apologize for my random disappearance. I've been really busy (especially over the summer) and I just didn't have time to blog. But even though I didn't have time to blog, I definitely had time to read! I read Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead (which the review will show up in the next few days) and I've finally read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Now I'm reading the Heroes of Olympus series.

But I really missed you guys! I'm glad to be blogging again. How was your summer? What did you read? Did you do anything new or different? Let me know on the comments section below or on Twitter. For me, I ended up working as a camp counselor at my old school and I got a boyfriend (and guess what? He READS! :D)

So, recently, I've downloaded a bunch of books which includes The Selection, The Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments. I'm excited to read them and review them :) If you want me to read and review a book (must be YA) email me at betterwrittenthansaid@hotmail.com or tweet me at @BookwormMari

I will post my review on the Percy Jackson Series perhaps in a few hours? I was debating whether or not to wait to watch the second movie. But I decided not to wait. I'll tweet my opinion on the movie instead. I'm truly glad to be back :)
