After all the gifting and visiting and feasting of Christmas Day, C began to read The Battle of The Labyrinth (which she insists on pronouncing LAY-bee-rinth).
Boxing Day was spent reading.
Well, HER day was spent reading.
M and I were preparing dinner and the house for my family who came for dinner and overnight.
On the 27th, she moved on to The Last Olympian.
In the car on the way to St. Catherines on the 30th, she read Just Grace Walks the Dog and 10 Best greek Legends Ever.
Somewhere in between we read Star Girl together, until she lost interest and I finished it by myself.
I’ve also read Holes and Rules.
I am looking forward to starting the Madeleine L’Engle series together.
Right now however, C is already re-reading her new Percy Jackson’s (after re-reading books 1-3) and is naming all her new stuffies after Greek Gods!! We have Artemis the Elephant, Aphrodite the Kitten and Zeus, the Hedgehog!

My son got The Lightning Thief for Christmas and is just finishing it. He's decided to do his speech on Greek gods. He kept talking about something called a say-der. It was a satyr.
I adore Madeleine L'Engle. Can't wait until my daughter is old enough for A Swiftly Tilting Planet.
Leah got The Lightning Thief for Christmas, but hasn't started it yet. I'm curious to see what it's like, as I'm a big fan of the author's Tres Navarre P.I. series for adults.
Leah and I are reading "Silver on the Tree" together -- the fifth and final book in Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" series.
Rachel ping-pongs back and forth between picture books and Junie B. Jones books.
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
My girl is quite excited to see the Lightning Thief when it hits the theatres next month! ("When is President's Day, Mom?"... a few minutes later, "What IS President's Day,Mom?")
I have been enjoying the series. At first I found the first person perspective hard to get used to, but Riordan seems to make it work well.
