Hot releases in 2008- What are YOU waiting for?

The Battle of the Labyrinth   Rick Riordan

Check out the info on Riordan's fourth Percy Jackson book, The Battle of the Labyrinth.  It's a book I cannot wait to read!  Surf the Net for your favorite authors and post the title, synopsis, and release dates. 

Publication Date:  May 6, 2008
Synopsis: 

Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun, but when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, pursued by demon cheerleaders, things quickly go from bad to worse.

Time is running out for Percy.  War between the gods and Titans is drawing near.  Even Camp Half-Blood isn't safe, as Krono's army prepares to invade its once again impenetrable borders.  To stop them, Percy and his friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth-- a sprawling underground world with surprises and dangers at every turn.

Along the way Percy will confront powerful enemies, find out the truth about the lost god Pan, and face the Titan lord Krono's most terrible secret.  The final war begins... with the Battle of the Labyrinth.

Hello!

Over break, I read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books and I thought they were AWESOME! I must say, I think I liked the first one the best.I can't wait for the new one to come out! I wish it came out tomorrow so I could immediately start reading it!
I recommended them to my mom, and now she's reading them! So, on that note, EVERYONE should read them!

I'm reading the Night Tourist. It's a great book, but it's kind of sad though because it involves a lot of people who died. It is also a quick read, but it has comedy, and romance.

Hi everyone it is me Elora. I am reading Twilight and so far it is amazing! I am not going to say anything big because I would hate to ruin it for someone that is going to read it in the future. One little bit of advice read the Twilight series before the movie comes out okay! I can say one thing about the book, if you are girl make sure you are sitting down and not eating when you get towards the middle of the first chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a great romance story already and I am not even in chapter four.
Your fellow friend and classmate,
Elora

Hi everybody!

It's nice to see you blogging, Elora! Tell me how Twilight is after you've finished! I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to read it.
I am A Dog's Life, an autobiography of a stray. It's good but sad, because some animals are abused, and some die. At the end, though, it's happy, and throughout the story there are nice parts, too. I like it!
Oh yeah, Elora, goldiegirl is me, Cristina!

See ya everybody and have a great three day weekend!

I cant wait till the Battle of the Laybyrinth comes out. Rick Riordan is a very good author and i enjoy his books. Right now im reading The Lost Queen by: Frewin Jones. She just ventured back to Farie and is talking to her sisters about the bad day she has had. But while listening Eden senses evil in the air and she isnt the only one. Cordelia can talk with animals and they sense it to. Eden reaches but can not grasp what is there, is there really danger read the book to find out!!! ( This book is second in the series and i recomened it for both boys and girls of ages 10 to 100!!!)

Okay guys, I believe we are supposed to be writing about what books we want,not what he have wanted and finished. Can you read the headings? If not, than my message will not get through to you, and I have failed at this area of expertise.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, I think cows are fantastic because they are such docile creatures, but yet are so majestic and-was that your question? Oh, books...reading...wanting, needing...desperately -right. So I have a list of things I must have:
Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, third Eragon book.
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke, third Inkheart book.
Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin ( pronounced Owen, talk to the Chace)6th artemis Fowl book.
The Changeling by Jerry B. Jenkins, 3rd Wormling book.
Any other series to tell me, I am open to any suggestion that preys on your mind.
