Percy Jackson the Olympians


Rick Riordan has become a juggernaut through Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Norse Mythologies with his interlocking series of books.  They all started with Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.  (Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief being the first book)

I've read this 5 book series and I have the other 15 or so books in the interlocking series, but I haven't read them yet.  The man is just cranking these things out.

They are aimed at teens, so they make a great light read for those that like modern fantasy, a la Harry Potter.

I'm also trying to catch up on the various series. I like the Norse Mythology one, of course. ;)

Just love how none of them can keep it in their pants and the demigods end up related by their human halves. lol

My oldest daughter and I read the first few books together, but then she took off reading them on her own.  I did read at least two of the Egyptian books too, while we were waiting for more of the Percy Jackson books to come out.  ( This was a few years ago of course).  I grew up studying mythology and minored in it in college.  Then I somehow passed that love on to Katelyn.  She still gravitates to myth based books along with other fantasy...
