Summer!

 Hello, fellow half-bloods!

 Before I say anything else, I'd like to acknowledge an amazing blog that I have been meaning to give a shout-out to for a very long time. You should all definitely visit The Multifandom Network, which, as you can probably tell from the title, is a blog that encompasses many different book/fandom-related topics, including Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, the Mortal Instruments, and, of course, Percy Jackson.

 Now, let's talk.

 I'm sure that you can tell by looking at the blog archive that I've been slacking a bit on my posts. The only excuse I can really give you is that I had schoolwork: tests, projects, research papers, homework in general... (I'm actually supposed to be studying for exams right now.)

 But the great thing is, soon I'll be free of that, and soon you'll get me back (if any of you actually stuck around)! My last day of school is this Friday, so after that I'm going to have a ton of free time that I can use to read and blog. Since I'm so excited about it, I've decided to share the premise of some posts that I'll be working on this June. (It helps if I have things written down and published so that I'm actually motivated to do them. So here goes.)

 Some topics I will be covering/posts I'm going to make:
  • What You Don't Realize About... Frank
    Frank is seriously under-appreciated in the fandom, and I'm not okay with that. I feel like I have to address this, because it's a major problem. I may also make a "What You Don't Realize About..." post for Hazel, but I'm unsure whether or not I'm going to do that.
  • My Feelings About PiperI've had mixed feelings about Piper for quite some time, and I think that it's about time that you hear about them.
  • Fun FactsI'm actually looking forward to this a lot. I love learning little tidbits about things, and trying to find them is just as fun for me. (Did I mention that Jeopardy! is one of my favorite shows? Or is it obvious?) But yeah, a Percy Jackson fun fact post will almost definitely be in store.
  • The Life of a Well-Loved and Heavily-Read SeriesMy love for Percy Jackson will probably never die, however paperbacks only last so long...
  • The Staff of Serapis Discussion/ReviewI meant to post it last month, but it's been sitting in my drafts folder, unfinished, for weeks. At this point, I'll probably have to re-read it to be able to write the post. xD
  • The Blood of Olympus: Who will die?I've been thinking about this post for a while, and I've actually started it already. There's been a lot of speculation about deaths in BoO, and I want to put my guesses and the reasoning behind them out there. I have a feeling that this post will be a big one.
 That's all I have in mind for now, and hopefully I'll come up with some more ideas for things to write over the summer. See you then, demigods. :)

My Riordan/Rowling Shelfie

Hi there!! :)

My school had a buy one get one free book fair a few weeks ago, so I decided to fill in some gaps in my Riordan collection. I was very excited to get...

 
Then, I decided to rearrange my book shelf so that they would fit in there somewhere. I ended up putting all of my Rick Riordan and Harry Potter books on one shelf.

 
 
 Unfortunately, I think that I'm going to have to find a new home for the Harry Potter books once I get House of Hades and Blood of Olympus, but that won't be for quite some time. The setup works for now, and I guess if there isn't enough room for everything when the time comes, I'll just have to get a new bookshelf! ;)
