    I would like to start by saying that I will be posting a few times a week now instead every day.  Please don’t be mad at me.

  So has anybody else out there wanted to read MoA again, but has found it hard to do so? I have wanted to read MoA from the beginning, yet I find it hard.  Every time I start reading the first chapter I find that I have to stop.  I have never had this problem.  I have read the first series eight times and what we have of the second series twice each except MoA. 

    I have read all of the parts I highlighted on my kindle many times.  Yet I can’t get myself to start from the beginning.   After a lot of thought, I think I know why I (and possibly other fans) find it hard to read again.  It seems to me that I am scared to read the ending again. I have read stuff about the ending lots of times on pinterest, but there is something about reading it in the book. 

  Also, who else is still in a bit of denial over the ending?  I read MoA from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. and from 8 a.m. until I finished to the book later that night.  When I got to the end I was…well…I don’t know how to put it, but I think that other fans can relate.  The ending never really processed completely until I bought the book and saw it in print, and even then it wasn’t completely processing then. 

  If you have the same problem I do with rereading MoA, then comment below!

  Thanks!

  1. Nice blog :) You are right, I got the exact same feeling, when I first got SoN I was so excited that I read it right away, but for MoA I got a very different feeling like I didn't want to read/finish it. Don't get me wrong I was very excited when the book came out, but actually reading the book was a different matter. Your post helped me a lot I guess you are right, I was scared of reading the ending. Well, I read it anyways and I wish I had a time machine to go to October 2013. Haha!

  2. I am glad that you like my blog. And time machine would be good. No actually it would be beyond amazing. I can’t even count how many time I have said or thought that I need a time machine. I would go and get both of the next books and bring them to Mr. Riordan so he could just write another Percy Jackson series.
