ceitfiannaI had planned to go to bed early and go to the farmer's market this morning.
Instead I stayed up all night and read the first book of Percy Jackson's canon The Lightning Thief. I really liked it modern take on the gods and one way they might have changed if they were still around now. Percy, Annabeth and Grover are wonderful, as is Chiron who reminds me of all the good bits of Dumbledore and I would so love to have had him as a Latin teacher. This is a book I recommend to anyone who likes myths, but also who likes a good adventure story.
I'm kind of amused that I just realized it had a label on the spine calling it a Guy's Read, oh American sorting system, a good book is a good book. So now I'm off to town to get a rather late lunch, buy something to bake for dessert tonight after I finish watching rowing, my New Zealanders are really good at it so I have to cheer them on.
