Tome Thursday: The Crown of Ptolemy

Hello everyone!

Ohmygosh, I know.

It's taken me absolutely forever to finish this trilogy, and the things are only short e-novellas.

I'm terrible at keeping track of what still needs to be done when it comes to books, because I get too easily distracted by the whole lot of unread tomes out there.

I have a list as long as my arm of things I have yet to read, not to mention a couple of books that are begging to be reviewed, but right now I figured, might as well do something useful and actually stop pissing off a group of demigods.

And magicians. Never forget the magicians.

When Greek and Egyptian magic collide, you're bound to have some really great stories, and among them, Rick Riordan is probably the ultimate storyteller, at least so far as I've seen.

He did give us Percy Jackson, after all.

So let's check out The Crown of Ptolemy, and see what kind of trouble our favourite demigod gets himself into.

Tome Thursday: The Son of Sobek

Hello everyone!

So every once in a while, as you know, I'll return to oldie but goldie books that I've either already read but never reviewed, or that I really, really enjoy and just HAVE to read again.

There are some authors that just have a grip on me like that.

And while I'm slowly packing and preparing for my vacation, I'm also gathering up books that I think I'll enjoy reading down on the beach, which is always an exciting prospect!

But for tonight's blog post, I decided on a short novella-ish type of book that was initially released as an audio recording and features some fan favourites from two different series that everyone has been DYING to see cross over.

Rick Riordan is kind of good at listening like that.

The Son of Sobek is the first in a short trilogy which features some characters that we know and love and mentions others, and of course there's always room for more where these guys are running around.

It's mythology, after all.
