And Percy Jackson for sure! I actually only read Harry Potter when I was 19 so I wish I had gotten the chance to grow up with those books as well.

Granted, I picked it up quite a while before I got into book blogging, but it was kind of on impulse, and haven't encountered that many people who've read it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679473507687411515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-81742228999275252832016-08-10T11:53:49.407-04:002016-08-10T11:53:49.407-04:00Percy Jackson is one of my favourite series (I rea...Percy Jackson is one of my favourite series (I read them when I was 14) and I'm still reading Rick Riordan's books now (currently enjoying the first Trials of Apollo book).

I don't think there's any point trying to MAKE kids read anything- they either won't do it or won't like it because they're being made to read it. (I've done both in my time... school required reading and I butted heads when I was a child... and when I was a teenager, actually...)<br /><br />That said, hopefully she eventually warms up to PJO and Spiderwick, they're both pretty great!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679473507687411515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-19621461408799907042016-08-09T14:46:31.009-04:002016-08-09T14:46:31.009-04:00They are really fun books!

It's beautiful, and I ended up buying the Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You for more of it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679473507687411515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-9514211029698157182016-08-09T14:14:31.627-04:002016-08-09T14:14:31.627-04:00They're fun.

MY daughter LOVED the Nest , she is 10 years old, so she wanted me to read it too and I liked it.<br />Now I want my daughter to read the Percy books because they are great! She refuses hahaha. But I found out that kids are just like adults when it comes to read, they will chose a book to read whenever they feel like it. I have the Harry Potter books that she made me buying them a long time ago and I always asked her to read them, but she refused to read them. she started last week reading them and now she is on the third book and she is loving them!<br />I am hoping that eventually she gets to the Percy Jackson books too.<br /><br /><a href="http://justusbookblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/top-ten-tuesday-freebie-for-me-892016.html" rel="nofollow">My TTT.</a>Marielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593998410685250453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-85134795054125966432016-08-09T09:21:28.408-04:002016-08-09T09:21:28.408-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593998410685250453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-8451523523173224862016-08-09T02:03:58.407-04:002016-08-09T02:03:58.407-04:00I've only read the first Percy Jackson, but I ...I've only read the first Percy Jackson, but I do want to continue!
