I am kind...
I am kind of dying here, because The House of Hades still isen't out yet, and I don't know what to read. So, it would be nice if you could come around and give some good recomansaitons as to what to read at least until The House of Hades is out. Please, pretty please help me with this frusterating place to be?

I would go check out Wendy Mass. She writes a little more on the side of realistic fiction, but most of her books do include magic. She has a lot of good books that are about on the same reading level as Rick Riordan's but are appropriate for younger readers who aren't quite teenagers yet.
Kingdom Keepers is also awesome.

Have you read The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in A Ship of Her Own Making yet? If you haven't, read that! It soooooooooooo good, plus there's two more books afterwards! That reminds me, gotta go read the third one, it came out today and I bought it and need to read it!!!!!
Also some other books you might like are the Fablehaven books. My best friend is nine and she absoutly LOVES them, as do I. Also, the Enchanted Forest Chronciles are very good. So are the Land of Eylon. And The Tapestry Books, though I'm not sure if you'd be allowed to read those. They are very. . . intense. Though if your allowed to read Percy Jackson (which I wasn't until this year) you can probably read them.
Anyway hope this helps, if not, just ask I'll give you some more recomedations!

I'm dying too! They have posters up in all the bookstores, and Rick is a troll, posting pics of the HoH and places where the characters will be, BUT IT'S NOT OUT YET! I'm DYING!

My dad's idea of how he thinks the Doors of Death should be closed.
Coach Hedge shoves everyone out, shuts the door, turns with his baseball bat and faces the monsters and says; "I'M NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU'RE ALL TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!!!! DIE!"
I'm still laughing over that. Okay, books to read.
OH MY GOSH, READ KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES BY SHANNON MESSENGER!!! Her new book, Exile, just came out yesterday and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! The first one was fantastic! I love it!
Also, The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester, Kingdom Keepers (as Melody suggested) by Riddley Pearson, the Peter and the Starcatchers series by Dave Barry/Riddley Pearson are all fantastic!!!!
And if you love classics, I will always love Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge!

Ooh!! I recommend The Familiars, they're hilarious and it's a lot like Harry Potter, except with animals :) Aldwyn the alley cat, Gilbert the gullible tree frog, and Skylar the know-it-all blue jay. So far there are 3 books, waiting for the fourth to come!

The Shakespeare Stealer series is rather good, and frustratingly obscure. Also the Arthur trilogy. Rebecca Stead is a great author. A Series of Unfortunate Events is hilarious. Septimus Heap is thick and fantasy. I'm reading the first book in The Bartimaeus trilogy, which is also thick and fantasy.

A Series of Unfortunate Events is wonderfully sarcastic.

Yay for Lemony Snicket!
(October 5, 2013 - 1:49 pm)
Yes, yay for Lemony Snicket!

Sorry. *Sigh* House of Hades AGAIN.
I'm going to read it of course. I just can't get over the whole WILL IN SCARLET thing.
Good books:
The Candleman, Book one, Society of Unrelenting Vigilance, by Glenn Dakin
Powerless, by Matthew Cody
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card

@ Theo W:
Why does the fact that Will in Scarlet comes out the same day as House of Hades bother you? Maybe RR and his publishers weren't aware of the fact that WIll in Scarlet comes out on the same day. I'm sure that's happened before.

@Theo and Everinne
On October first, both The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut The Moon in Two and Leopard's Gold came out. I want to read both (I bought The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut The Moon in Two, but I still want to read Leopard's Gold). And I wasn't bothered by the fact that they both came out on the same day. In fact it was awesome, because now they're both out!!!!!!
So, Theo, why does it bother you??
