The Biblomaniac Army (booklovers, UNITE!) v.2

[Hobbit]

@ Glassea I picked up Quiet at the Library today. Thanks for the suggestion, I've barely started it but I can tell I'm going to like it immensely. Unfortunately, this library doesn't have A Mango-Shaped Space, but I'm sure I'll get my hands on it somehow.

{ @hobbit: I'm glad you like it! Nonfiction is one of the most unappreciated genres there is, seriously. Some of these psychology books are really my thing--Daniel Pink and such. Anyone [ or anyone's parents ] read him?

@electra: No, you are not alone. Jason actually annoys me due to his lack of percy-nality.

another that I don't know the name of, but it was about a serial killer who follows a girl home and she's all scared and stuff Spoiler Alert?and when she makes it home, she finds out that the killers right behind her in her house

I like the sound of that book alot, but have never heard of it. If you could remember the name ( or if any on else knows the name?) I'll order it on amazon.

It's not a full book, just a short story, but I did find the title. It's called "While the Whole Town's Sleeping".

I can probbaly find it on the internet.

@River
My favorite characters are Frank and Leo. I love Hazel, too.
Am I the only one who finds Jason a tab bit boring? I dunno why, but he's just a bit too 'perfect' in my opinion.

Jason isn't my favorite. He's just… yeah, too perfect. I really like Frank so far as well, and Leo may very well be my fictional crush. XD. My mom spoiled something really big about Frank. So mad at her. XD

I'm about halfway through the son of Neptune. Please Telly me Leo, Piper, and Jason appear soon. It'll be so great to have all six together!

I have several theries as to who the 7th is.

@ everyone talking about The Heroes of Olympus: Leo is my favourite character (I really want to get an orange shirt and write "Team Leo" on it. Whomever has read Mark of Athena will understand what that's from), and Frank isn't bad (I mostly like him because he's Canadian, like me), but I couldn't stand Piper until near the end of The Mark of Athena (MoA), and even Hazel could be a bit annoying. Jason wasn't so bad; he was a little bit like Percy in the first book to keep me happy ... sort of. Annabeth was a wreck, though, in MoA. Her character was all wrong. Percy wasn't bad, but, I don't know. He kinda lost most of his charm back in The Last Olympian when he got his version of the Achilles' Heel.

I just haven't found Riordan's new series as good.

@Glassea- I read A Whole New Mind by Daniel H. Pink a little while ago, and I thought that it was really interesting. I also read Quiet, which I loved, being an introvert myself. It was really well written, and she does a great job of explaining introversion.

Yeah but Percy lost his achilles heel -- He isn't as cutely goofy, maybe that's because it's not in the first person? I was laughing soo hard when he was doing the team Leo thing though I feel sorry for him - the third wheel. It does say a lot that Percy also thinks Jason's a bit too perfect, so maybe there's something in it.
In case anyone hasn't read the Mark of Athena, all I will say is OMG, TARTARUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME WAITING!
I am currently re-reding 'The Throne of Fire,' The egyptian ones - they're pretty good actually, but I don't like Zia's character much - poor Carter

{ @seji:
COME HERE YOU
LET ME LOVE YOU

SOMEONE MY AGE WHO ACTUALLY READS NONFICTION FOR FUN...!

you are officially mah book buddy.

you are quite right; i loved her explanation of introversion and its misconceptions c: turns out i'm not as introverted as i thought though i am most definitely not an extrovert. and daniel pink is kinda epic.

My bookshelf that I talked about a few pages ago has been completely built and stocked. Shall I post a couple pictures?

Hm. I haven't read MoA yet, halfway through SoN. I like Hazel in this. And was it just me, or did Annabeth seem different in TLH?
