A few (ok, several) years ago, I read that a movie was being made of something called Harry Potter. I knew nothing of it. I really didn’t get on board until the fourth book was released. I anxiously awaited the release of each successive novel and my love of the books remained high while my hatred of the movies grew exponentially following the release of POA. Moving back to the now: Reading that Sean Bean had been cast to play Zeus in an upcoming movie version of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief piqued my interest. (In all fairness, reading that Sean Bean ate a peanut butter sandwich would pique my interest, though.) It took a conversation between my Brazilian pals to convince me to get to know the content. Well, I guess you could say I “tweetdropped” on their twitter exchange. Heh.
This week, I read the entire Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. I absolutely adore it for many reasons. First and foremost on my list: the mythology. I have always had great interest in Greek mythology and these books had me researching all the characters as I went along to see just how many liberties had been taken with the gods as they were updated for this millennium. I have to admit that I was impressed with the modern take on each of them; even the slightly corny bits worked! Another reason I enjoyed the series was the ease of reading. Since they are technically childrens’ books, they were really quick reads. I also like the writing style of Rick Riordan. Each prophecy or mystery had me wanting, no needing, to know what would happen, and the story avoided so many of the “boy finds his destiny” cliches that I was satisfied with the twists and turns. I only wish there were even more books in the series.
Overall, I truly enjoyed the books and I can only hope the movies will be more Harry Potter and less Eragon in nature. Done properly, kids could one day be asking, “Harry who?”
Say, you got a nice blog. Much obliged.

I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone
else encountering problems with your site. It appears as though some of
the written text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone
else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice

enormously appreciated!

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours as of late, but I never
discovered any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty value sufficient for me.
In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made just right
content as you probably did, the internet will likely
be much more useful than ever before.
It’s awesome in favor of me to have a site, which is useful in support of my know-how.

At this time it seems like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform available
right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of
your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
I do consider all of the ideas you’ve introduced in your post.
They are really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the
posts are too short for beginners. May just you please extend
them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.
magnificent points altogether, you simply won a logo new reader.
What would you recommend about your post that you just made some days ago?
Any certain?
First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first
10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!
