Hi people! I have some GREAT news! As you can see from the title, the Sea of Monster's movie trailer is finally out! With no further ado here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KvTKyFzm80.
Now, after you have had time to process the fact that we finally have a movie trailer, I suggest watching it once more; but this time have a notebook ready to write down everything wrong with the movie thus far.
Please comment below and tell me what you think about the movie trailer! I will be back in a few days to tell you what I have observed about the trailer.

Luke
Recently I have been thinking a lot about Luke. Before I get into my rant, I want to ask a question. How may of you fans hate Luke? You are probably thinking, "Oh my gods! She is going to say that she LOVES Luke. She loves everyone in the books!" Well...yes and no regarding Luke . I don't LOVE Luke, but I don't have anything against him. I don't really have anyone in the books (besides monsters and such) that I really hate. Now back to Luke...
I will admit that pre (and, for a while, post) book five, I did have problems with Luke. In fact, I pretty much hated him. But after a while, I started to realize that all the things that Luke did that made me hate him, he in a way made up for them in the battle. I can't really explain how. He just did.
Another thing I have realized, is that you can tell at first Luke is all for the destruction of the gods because they mistreated him and other blah blah blah... But, as time goes on, you start realizing that Luke isn't 100% sure any more if he is on the "right side". By the time that he was going to "become" Cronus, he seemed to know, for the most part, that he was on the wrong side; I don't think he really knew 1000,000,000% that he was on the "bad guy side" until the end.
Now that being said, I think he did know he was on the on the wrong side, but he didn't know how to get out of it, so his only option was to go along with the plan and hope that any opportunity appeared that would let him set everything straight.
The only thing Luke did that I can NEVER forgive him for is going back on his promise to Thalia and Annabeth. You might think that that is more forgivable than everything else; but to me, if it was just Thalia, who was 12 years-old at the time, it would be easier to forgive. It is the fact that he broke the promise to little 7 year-old Annabeth who looked up to Luke that hurts.
Well, that's all for now. Please comment below!

October 8th
I know it has taken me a while to report this, but the HoH is coming out on Oct. 8th!!!!!
Now I haven't reported this until now because I couldn't find anything on the official website to support this. Not only is HoH coming out on Oct. 8th, but the Titans Curse graphic novel is also set to be released on the same day.
I don't know why, but if you look on rickriordan.com (official Rick Riordan website) and go to the House of Hades page (this is the link to that exact page: http://rickriordan.com/my-books/percy-jackson/heroes-of-olympus/The-House-of-Hades.aspx ) it only says that the book will be coming out in October in general. Now if you go to Rick Riordan's blog, he has a post that the very last line says that the Titans Curse, the graphic novel, and House of Hades will both be released on Oct. 8th. (Link to that post: http://rickriordan.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-titans-curse-graphic-novel.html)
I decided to type up a list of all the Percy Jackson major and minor book's release dates.
