Welcome to the first installment of "Recommend A...", a fun new meme created by Shanyn over at Chick Loves Lit. Shanyn will post a new prompt each week, and anyone interested in participating will post a book recommendation that follows the prompt. A different way to get recommendations!
This week's prompt is: Recommend a Book with a Green Cover!
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Another Greek gods book, but such a great one! The Percy Jackson series has 5 books in it, with The Lightning Thief being the first in the series. I really love the idea of a camp for half-bloods, children of gods and humans, where they learn how to use their abilities to defend themselves against the monsters wanting to kill them. This is a really great middle-grade series, and has a follow-up series, Heroes of Olympus, as well!
Oooh good choice! I didn't even think of this one. I have heard good things but I tried to listen to the audiobook and I hated it! It makes me so sad! I might try to pick it up again in print format, sometimes the narrators just ruin the whole thing. :]
ReplyDeleteI've heard quite a bit about this series. I haven't ever picked it up, but I love mythology, so I know it is just a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!! Percy is such a great hero and I love Annabeth. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Lightning Thief, although for some reason or other, I never read any farther in the series.
ReplyDeleteI just read and reviewed The Lightning Thief. Its a fun read and I'm now enjoying the second book, Sea of Monsters.
