A post for readers:

Apparently everyone really liked it when I mentioned "books!" That post got the most "awesomeful's" AND comments in a long time! So, for all you readers out there, I decided I'd mention some really great series that I've been reading lately.

Okay, now, the first one is, like, my favorite series EVER now. I honestly have never read a series of books this quickly before. I can finish one of them in less than a day, and each of them are at least over two hundred pages! It's a series called Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and, like I said, it's AWESOME. I'm sure some of you read it, I think. Sydney is actually the one who recommended this series to me, and, fortunately, she has almost all the books, so as soon as she's done with them, I can borrow them! The thing is, it's perfect for me. It's my favorite genre, besides fantasy. I guess it would be called "mythological fiction"..? Anyway, I always have loved books that are based on mythology, particularly GREEK mythology. Like this other book, Dusssie. Or Radiant Darkness was good. Or, um, there was that one other one I read a long time ago, but I can't remember it... it had something to do with Pandora. So, um, if you like mythology, then seriously, read this. It's amazing.

Oh, and another great book series! It's called Pendragon. Vanessa told me about this one a LONG time ago. I mean, as in when there were still books coming out. I was with her, waiting FOREVER for books nine and ten to come out in this series! And now I'm sad that they are out, because that means no more books! But they're really funny. I'd say it's a, um, fantasy/science fiction. It has time traveling and dimension traveling and stuff. And, trust me, if you read it, you'll see that A LOT of it is kind of what my story is based off of. ESPECIALLY Liam. He's almost EXACTLY like Nevva Winter! Which I probably shouldn't be telling you, if you want to read the series... but Vanessa revealed that to me before I read the book, so it wasn't even surprising for me. :( Oh well. I still enjoyed it! Reading it is always better than someone telling you about it!

And there's the other series called Maximum Ride. It's definitely a science fiction, but there's the fantasy part mixed into it with the fact that the main characters have wings. Just my kind of book. ;) It can get violent at some parts, though. I am not a fan for violence and stuff, but sometimes it just adds to the excitement.

Um, I don't have any more time right now. I have other books, as in, individual books (and other series, now that I think of it) but I have no time. Thank you for reading!

  2. Ooh, you're reading the Percy Jackson series? I want to read that so badly! It's always out when I try to check it in the library though =P I've heard alot of great reviews of it from my friend, especially on how funny it is and it's humour =D I'm sure they have it at chapters though, and next time I go there I'm so going to buy it! =)And the Pendragon series.. hmm, sounds really familiar. I'll go look it up.
