The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This third novel in the series doesn't disappoint! We meet another goddess and her unusual yet intriguing followers, and the plot against the Olympians thickens. The main characters continue to grow and develop, like any normal humans. Yet another fast-paced and delightful read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This second book of the series was just as riveting as the first novel! The addition of a new main character was seamless and the adventure was amazing! Book 3 here I come!

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the Harry Potter of Greek mythology!! This is not meant to slight either author, but rather a compliment to them both because I believe they have both produced highly readable and entertaining book series that will encourage reading in all ages.
This story was fast paced and fun, with great characters and fantastic bits of ancient stories meeting modern times. I can't wait to dive into the next book of the series!

The Round House by Louise Erdrich
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A poignant coming-of-age story flavored with the rich and often painful history of the Native American struggle in the United States. When I was in college I had the opportunity to work closely with some amazing Native Americans whose stories were loosely echoed here - stories of poverty and injustice over shared fry bread. I felt just as deeply for the characters in this story as I did for my friends in real life, and it was an appropriate book to begin reading on V-Day.
There were a few slow parts that left me slightly bored, but overall it was a beautiful and soulful story.
