Rick Riordan Interview, Deleted Scene from Last Olympian and Perordering Singed Book

  Hey everyone, lots to talk about today.  Let's just jump right in.  Rick Riordan video interview with Publisher Weekly.  The interview is not really about HoH.  Here  is the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYQkdXK5cs. 

  All I am going to say about the interview is Percabeth is in a difficult situation, yeah I'd say so. 

  Now you may remember, he mentioned a deleted scene from Last Olympian, well he just uploaded the scene on his blog, so here is the link for that one:  http://rickriordan.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-deleted-scene-from-last-olympian.html

  I like this scene. I think it shows how much Percy has grown up since the first book.  Percy was able to forgive Nancy (Grover on the other hand still had some hard feelings from all the PB&J sandwich bits thrown on him.), but I understand why this had to be cut from the book.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.

  Last but not least, his tour stops.  First, I want to know if anyone gets to go to one.  I can't go this year, but I am hopefully going to go to one next year.  For those of you who don't get to go to a signing, but you still really want that signed HoH; well, you're in luck.  All you have to do is click this link:  http://www.bluewillowbookshop.com/event/rick-riordan-0.  (You will have to scroll down a little), and buy it. 

   You have until Oct. 9 to order.  I don't know when it will arrive at your door.  This is my first year doing this.  If you have ever order a signed book this way and know about when it will arrive, please let me know in the comments below


  Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment below!

  Oh, one more thing: 

           TWO days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three New Character Arts

  So over the last few days there have been a lot of character arts coming out.  These are in order of what came out first to the most recent.  First is Percabeth. 
 

  Well,  let's just say, the movie might be better than this.  

























    Eros (Greek)/Cupid (Roman)

  Eros in Aphrodite's son.  Some stories say his father is Ares.  Eros is the actual god of Love, not Aphrodite,  she is the goddess of looks.



























   And this is Nyx, the goddess of Night. 


  It might be me, but I am starting to think that all the gods art work is better than the character (Percy, Annabeth, hazel, Leo, ect.) art work.


 Thanks from reading and let me know what you think in a comment below!

Rick Riordan Reading from House of Hades

   Yes, I know it has been a while; so, hi, moving on to sadness.

 

  It is with joy and a broken heart that I am writing today.  The reason I am joyful and the reason I have broken "feels" is because of the link below.  Go ahead and click the link.  I am not going to say anything about what it is.  I am warning you though, when you first see this you will be happy, but trust me...it's not happy.

Okay, so hopefully you have watched the video. If you have, you know that it was Rick Riordan reading an exert from HoH and you also will know that he isn't reading a happy, joyful Leo being Leo exert.  No, he is reading part of the most heart wrenching part of the whole book.  (The book is not out yet, so obviously I don't really know that.  I am just guessing.)

At first when I saw this, I was SOOOOO excited.  "Yeah, House of Hades!!!!!!!!!!!!", but after watching it, I think I would prefer NOT to have had this come out.

 

First, just seeing an actual physical HoH book makes me freak out because even though I knew that they were/are being printed, this is someone actually holding one and reading out of it.  How am I supposed to wait 20 more days to get HoH???????  How??????

 

And, did you notice that he was reading halfway through the book? Great! So now I know what to expect for the other parts of the Tartarus scene.  Pain and a lot of sobbing.

 I may seem to be overreacting a bit, but if you follow me on pinterest and saw this pin:


Well, that may have explained why I am so frazzled right now.  All I thought about was Percy watching Annabeth die.  I just cant handle it.
