TS Chan (tschan) | 159 comments Speaking of which, I just struck another one after deciding to use Frankenstein for #20 : A book by an author under 25 at the time it was published. xD

Number FIVE! Woots!

Thank you, Miche! I see that you are having a blast reading Percy Jackson :)

I loved it! The next series seems interesting, but when I saw the number of pages per book I got a bit worried. I already found his books with 300-380 pages a bit repetitive, so I am not sure he can pull the 500-580 pages range.

I did think the HoO series is good although I wasn't super thrilled with the finale for a very particular reason. House of Hades is in my list of favourites.


message 40: by Miche (new)

Miche | 3279 comments I will keep the series in mind for later. :)


message 41: by TS (new)

TS Chan (tschan) | 159 comments Bingo again, and two more to go!

message 44: by Miche (new)

Miche | 3279 comments Great job, TS! You are almost done!


message 45: by TS (new)

TS Chan (tschan) | 159 comments Bingo! And one more to go!!!


message 46: by Petrik (new)

Petrik (petrikleo) | 1546 comments Congrats! One more to go! :)


message 47: by TS (new)

TS Chan (tschan) | 159 comments Thank you, my friends! I can't believe the last one left is a book I already own. Goes to show how distracted and undisciplined I have been hahaha..


message 48: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments Congrats! I only have one left as well, but it's the book over 800 pages x)

Whoooo, that is a BIG one! You can do it, I'm sure. :)
