Question: Today’s is the US’ Independence Day. Share your favorite book with a war in it, or an overthrow of the government.
I'm choosing a book with a war in it. Generally in paranormal books, I can get disappointed in the lack of real fight after a large build-up of conflict. However, in The Percy Jackson series, I was pleasantly surprised by the last book in the series, The Last Olympian, and how truly epic the war was. There are small battles in each of the books in the series leading up to a wonderful Titan war in the final installment that takes all allies since the threat is so large. If you read and loved Harry Potter, but haven't given this one a try yet, I would really recommend it.
I'm embarrassed to say that I never read the last book in the Percy Jackson series. I stopped on book 4 and just never got around to reading the series fanale, even though it's currently only 3 feet behind me on my bookshelf. I should read it....soon.

I haven't read that book. Sounds good though. I don't read many war books either.
ReplyDeleteI love the new preferred follow graphics. I might start doing these FF posts again so I can gain blogloin followers and get them away from GFC.
Nice answer. I should read that series. Happy weekend :)

Here is my FF http://between-my-lines.blogspot.gr/2013/07/feature-and-follow-17-books-and-wars.html
The Hunger Games really had an epic war, but I definitely wanted more people to learn about Percy Jackson and I assumed some people would already let the awesomeness of HG be known :D I think it's pretty great that you mentioned Percy as well though! So glad you enjoy that one. Thank you very much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to stop by and check that one out, I haven't heard of that one! Thank you very much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteOh man, you're missing the best one in the series. I hope you like it when you get the time to read it! Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteI know you don't read many MG books, but this one is really one for all age groups and it's such an excellent story.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get back into the FF. The graphics Parajunkee made really are wonderful, and are helping with the Bloglovin follows. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
Happy 4th :D This series is one that all age groups enjoy. Zane and I have both read and love this series.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to have more hours in the day! I know I have a TON too many books on my to-read list as well :D Thank you so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you agree!! Have your kids read it too?? Zane loves it as well :D
ReplyDeleteI saw that Madiha had it also! So glad that more people are getting it out there, because it's such a great story. I hope you give it a shot. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, my kids are HUGE Rick Riordan fans. And that's putting it mildly. :) They've been wondering if he'd ever do a book combining Percy/Heroes/Kane...and he's releasing a short story doing just that! (actually, it may already be out. I'm not sure)
ReplyDeleteI've actually never read the Percy Jackson series, though I'm hoping to finally get around to it this summer. Great pick though! I'm a bloglovin' follower. :)
