BRINGING YOU THE BEST IN BOOKS!

Thank God, renovation is done, and Books is once again open to everyone. I hope you guys enjoy the new site. Today is also the debut of our new slogan: "BRINGING YOU THE BEST IN BOOKS!"

THE LAST OLYMPIAN COVER

Below You Will Find The Cover and Summary For THE LAST OLYMPIAN! The cover is the best one yet, in my opinion. Your thoughts???




All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

SCAT And The Demigod Files

FEBRUARY 15, 2009-
I know that we are in the middle of renovation, but I do have some exciting news about some exciting novels for when this thing is ready!

First, you may have noticed the picture above. This is Carl Hiaasen's new novel SCAT. I bought it yesterday, and it's the the second follow-up to the novel HOOT. More details to follow when I give a general review of this thing, but it involves a missing biology teacher, a nasty swamp, and a juvenile delinquent.

Second, I got the Demigod Files yesterday too! My Rating: 5! It delivers three great stories, and the preview of The Last Olympian did not disappoint! It finds Percy and Rachel Elizabeth Dare in Percy's car, and an expected pop-in from an old friend! Check them out!

Third, Rick Riordan will reveal the cover for The Last Olympian on Wednesday. Come back then to see the cover!

Demigod Files Stills

Beyond The Grave!

Check out The 39 Clues #4: Beyond The Grave, which comes out June 2. The Author is Jude Watson(you might remeber her from a few STAR WARS novels. No word on Book Five yet, but a consideration for author right now is Jonathan Stround.

The Demigod Files came out today. If you read the Last Olympian except, send me some info!

BOOKS Delays And Exciting News!

We deeply apologize for saying this, but starting on Monday, Books will be closed for 1 week to the public, due to renovation. Books will reopen on Friday, February 13, at 4:00 PM.

The Good News: Possibly in the next 6 months, Books will become books.com, instead of rickriordanfreak.blogspot.com! That's right: Books may become an actual website instead osf just a blog! Stay tuned for details!

Big Changes

I just wanted to let you know that Books will be undergoing severe remodeling in the next few weeks. The reason my computer is having problems is because I have a little too much saved(by the way, that's got nothing with this website.)on my computer. It's seemed to me we had alot of vistors, but they just don't post alot. So I'm going to start making this posts a little more interesting, so people do post more often. Alot of the sidebar feartures will go away. Sorry, there is just a litte too much on there. No posts will be deleted. If you haven't noticed, Books has a new look. This is the template I'm into right now. Most of my blogs will get this same look, only in different colors.

For those interested in my progress with the Alex Rider series, I'm now on Book 4: Eagle Strike(red book)

Happy Reading- Jake

Alex Rider And Some New Releases!

I apologize for going completely blog-less for the entire month of December. I'm still quite young, and was studying for Final Exams, and those are very tiring. I haven't had any public transportation around lately, and my computer has been having a variety of problems. My birthday's in April this year, so maybe someone will buy me a laptop with Wi-Fi or something.

I've been deeply engrossed in the Alex Rider series by British author Anthony Horowitz. I would deeply recommend this one for Seventh Grade and up, because this is kinda a spy novel, and has alot(and I mean ALOT) of guns and violence in it. It's still a fantastic read however, if you're into James Bond. I'm on the third book, Skeleton Key(it's the green book in the picture). There are now seven books, not five, like in the picture. If you are one of the little guys, and are a fan of Jeff Kinney, the latest Wimpy Kid book, The Last Straw, hit shelves today.
