Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan and a Giveaway

Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse is the third book in this very entertaining series. I liked it just as much as the first two - it's light and fluffy with lots of cool adventures and obviously loads of mythological references. Most of which I probably don't get, but ok. Some of the dialogue has been pissing me off for sounding slightly unnatural, but I've been trying not to focus on that. It's totally worth reading for the entertainment value. I have one (or two, can't remember) left in this series, but apparently Rick Riordan has another one based on Egyptian Gods and if that's true then I will definitely be getting that next.

Giveaway!

My friend Lezlie from Books 'N Border Collies is hosting a really cool giveaway of Michelle Moran's The Heretic Queen, which is the sequel to Nefertiti. I can't pretend to have read Nefertiti but I've always wanted to and this might be my chance to win a copy of one of the books. Then I'll just have to buy the other. :-)

If you want to participate, visit Lezlie. And make sure you mention that you heard of the giveaway here! :-)
