Wow haven't updated this blog in ages...So lets see, summer is almost over and I've only read 15 out of the 85 books I challenged mysel to read. I just finished Percy Jackson, the olympians and the lightning thief. OK yes I did see the movie first and I hadn't ever heard of the series, so I found the first book in the library and I just finished reading it in the very early hours tis morning. Both the book and the movie are totally awesome, it's about a boy, who is always getting into trouble at school no matter wat he doesn,then one field trip and his entire crappy life is turned upside down, his mom is taken from him by Hades, he fined out he's half God OH! and did I mention, he's poseidons' son. Now Mount Olympus have themeselves in a knot because someone has stolen Zeus' master bolt and Hade Helm of darkness,and worse the gods have blamed Percy, if the bolt and the helm aren't returned by the summer solstice; there will be a world war III. So Percy and his two friends travel from Long Island, New York to Los Angeles,California (where the enterance to the Underworld is) to get his mother bac only to find out that Hades didn't steal anything from the other Gods and that Percy has the bolt (which he unknowingly did in the backpack that Ares had given to him via Luck, a half blood son of Hermes). Somewhere towards the end Percy battles Ares and wins back the helm of darkness which he returns to its rightful owner and then returns te bolt to Zeus, he meets Poseidon for the first time in his life and they all live happily ever after and Percy decides to go home o te summer to be with his mom.
I absolutely love the first book and can't waitto ead the other books ( I think 5 in all) in the series. Justlike he Artemis Fowl series ,which btw has another book coming out soon in the series (The Atlantis Complex) I have to read the entire series to feel complete. I aim to buy both series for my collction, they are both very well written. Anywhooo..... I must get going, I have othe things to do tonight such as take care of my niece whom I dont think will be getting to sleep any earlier tonight looks like she'll be asleep at about 12:30am again [you can thank her parents for that, though they swear they have nothing to do with her being up all night] I blame the fact they didnt want her to take a nap earlier when she should have, no worries Ill use her as an alarm clock tomorrow and Ill just have to do things my own way for her to get a good nights sleep (which she hasn't gotten because of either of them) one more bottle for her and she should be good and asleep tonight......
adorable me,
Rosie
