Thanks for taking the time to read my journal. The book you've found is now yours, no strings attached! You can keep it forever or read it and pass it along like I did.

It arrived! Can't wait to start! 

Journal Entry 5 by solskinn from Wien - irgendwo / Vienna - somewhere, Wien Austria on Thursday, December 17, 2009

I am now almost done reading this, only a few pages left. I will send the book on around Christmas but might not get to do a release note because I won't have a computer where I will spend the holidays. Thus the book might arrive at the next reader's place before I get to journal it again.

What can I say? - Another great book in the Percy Jackson series! It is as good a story and as fun to read as the first one was. I'll start reading the third book right after this one.

Thanks again for sharing, Crossing-Guard!

Great to catch up with Percy Jackson reunited with a lot of the characters from the first book and nice to meet some new characters as well. Loved all the references to Greek mythology.

Posting on tomorrow.

Journal Entry 22 by morsecode at Buffalo, New York USA on Wednesday, December 22, 2010

This book arrived safe and sound in Buffalo, NY today.
I already have the next person's address so I should be able to get it back on its way fairly quickly. 

Journal Entry 23 by morsecode at Buffalo, New York USA on Wednesday, December 29, 2010

One thing that really struck me was when Annabeth learns that hubris is her fatal flaw. In explaining hubris to Percy (who confused hubris with hummus), she says: "Don't you ever feel that way? Like you could do a better job if you ran the world?" (200). While I don't see myself in the dictionary definition of hubris (presumption, originally towards the gods; pride, excessive self-confidence), I can definitely relate to Annabeth.

I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
I'm mailing this book off to JerrilynnL today.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I'm taking this to Locker monster on Saturday, when our bookcrossing group meets.

This was another good installment of this series! I'm glad I still had my copy of book one in hand because it's been a long time since I read that one!

To the finder:
Calgary has an active group of BookCrossers that meet to swap books and discuss book crossing every second Saturday of the month at 11am at the Joshua Tree Cafe on Edmonton Trail. We always love to meet new crossers, so please join us any time you like! 

Journal Entry 31 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, April 09, 2011

It feels like forever since I read the first book. Now I can continue with the rest of the series! 

Journal Entry 32 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, May 06, 2011

I had forgotten how good these books could be. Greek myth is such a fertile playground for stories and Riordan gives each a modern twist. I'm really tempted to go out and find the other books in the series, but I will be patient and wait for the other bookrings to get to me.
