March Book List

For this month, I'm going to be reading:
Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick
Stick by Andrew Smith
Ripper by Stephan Petrucha
Immortal Lycanthropes by Hal Johnson
Rage by Jackie Morse Kesslar
The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group by Catherine Jinks
The Dead Girl's Detective Agency by Susan Cox
I'll be reading them during the next two weeks, and ranking the from 1-7. After reading them all, I'll post the list and start the posts about why they were ranked as such.

The Future

Starting this month, I'm going to do things a bit differently. In the first week and a half, I'll read seven books, and rank them 1-7 on a list, that will be on the right of the blog. Then, in  the following weeks, I'll write a post for each book about why I ranked it as I did. I'll have a new list every month, for your viewing pleasures.
Side note: Just because a book is ranked 7th(the worst), it doesn't mean that book is bad, it just means that there were better books that month.

Percy Jackson

The Percy Jackson series are about a boy, Percy, who discovers that he's a demigod and the son of Poseidon, when he goes to a camp specially for demigods. There he meets Annabeth, the daughter of Athena, and discovers that his best friend Grover was  satyr. In each book, Percy and his friends come closer to finally defeating the monsters, when they find out that Cronos rose with the help of their friend Luke, who betrayed the camp, and that Cronos is responsible for the monsters. You'd think that the books would be confusing because of all the gods and such, but the author, Rick Riordan, takes Mythology, and makes it modern and easy to understand for everyone. So not only do you get to have fun, but you also learn! While learning might not seem like an exciting prospect for many of you, it doesn't feel like you're sitting down and doing research. I like this book because not only is it written well, I also like Mythology. The series are 5 books long, and are continued in another series, The Heroes of Olympus, in which they introduce the Roman demigods. While they're very similar, there are small differences between the Greeks and the Romans. Mainly, the Romans are more viscous. Honestly, I like the Greek gods better, but that might be because I learned about them before I learned about the Romans.
Here you see the intense battle between Greeks and Romans to best each other.

Books

This blog is going to be about books. Obviously. Mainly fiction books. And then I will write about whether or not I like them and why. I'll get all of my books from the Palatine Public Library, in case anyone wants to check one out. Probably not, but still. For all of you book worms out there.
