I'm 12th in line, still waiting to read The Son of Neptune, the second book in Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series. That's better than being 178th in line, which is where the hold list for this title ends, but it still means I can't find out what happens to Percy Jackson--yet. I may break down and buy a copy of the book, but I'll hold on a little while longer. I could read the first chapter, but I think that would only make the wait harder.
I did get to read Ranger's Apprentice: The Lost Stories by John Flanagan this week. Two thumbs up! I was scared it would be lame but it wasn't. The author published the book to answer some of the questions he'd gotten over the years from readers of the series. I was obviously not one of the readers anxiously awaiting answers since I'd forgotten most of the backstory that preceded these tales, but even for senile folks like me, the stories were enjoyable and satisfying. It was good to read about the wedding of Evanlyn and Horace, and I liked learning more about the ranger Gilan. Definitely a must read for series fans.
