I love to read and even more than that I love to find books for a great deal! My favorite places to buy books are at the thrift stores and the library sale racks. Great reads are never expensive and it also has kept my reading material interesting with a huge variety. I wanted to start sharing my thoughts on all these books as well as making people aware that reading is a cheap and very rewarding hobby in these hard times.

why does working interupt reading time?! ;)
Seriously though....since I have been working I don't get to read as often as I'd like but when I do it's a true pleasure. I just finished The Son of Neptune as I posted in my last blog and I am currently reading Luka and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie. I have only read the first 10 pages but I like it. Costco seems to be my new favorite place to get books due to the fact that I haven't had the time to troll my favorite places for used books. Costco is where we go to get our food so it seems only fitting I go by the books section and pick up what looks interesting. Good thing about that is that I am reading new material that's new to the market. Fun fun. Will be posting my thoughts on the new book as soon as I get a chance.

Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
OMG I have read all the Percy Jackson books and also the new series with the LOST HERO. My boyfriend was at costco yesterday and decided to surprise me with this when I got home from work. So so happy! I have read the first 3 chapters and am looking forward to finishing it this weekend. I started a new job so I haven't been reading as much as I would like and to be completely honest the last two books I have attempted to read just haven't been that great...I hate when that happens because I really always finish my books pretty quick and if I don't like them I just never seem to be able to do that. I guess that's everyone right?
So I just finish this book and it was AMAZING!!! Big hearts for Percy Jackson, I love love him as a character. He is humble yet totally awesome all at the same time. I really like where they are taking the story tying in the fact that the Greek and Roman gods are pretty much the same. It was fun reading about the new characters Frank and Hazel as well. Rick Riordan never disappoints when it comes to the Hero's of Olympus. The story kept me locked in and was hard to put down. Like The Lost Hero it is written with 3 characters points of view. I think that gives the book another level of depth that keeps you interested. The giants and new bad girl mother of the earth seem to be proving a terrible enemy to fight and as I have said before I can not wait for the next book to come out. It's a great read, 5 stars!!!!
