The Red Pyramid - Rick Riordan

Since I now have almost unlimited access to books at my school's library, I grabbed one that I've been wanting to read but wasn't sure I wanted to purchase: The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan (author of the Percy Jackson series, which I really liked).

This is part of a newer series by Riordan called The Kane Chronicles - this is the 1st book and there is one more out, with a 3rd one coming next spring. I've only read the 1st few chapters, but so far it seems very similar to Percy Jackson, but with ancient Egypt instead of Greece. It should be a fun, easy read so I'll let you know how it is!

Exciting News...

So I know it's been ages since I've posted anything, but I just have not had the time for much reading this summer and I've been crazy busy because....... I was recently hired as a school library media specialist! Woot woot! So instead of reading I've been trying to figure out just how to be a librarian, lol! I'm only going to be working 3/4 time so I'm hoping to use some of that extra time at school to do some reading since I'll have unlimited access to books :)
