Reading Roundup – 12th July 2013
Reading Roundup / July 12, 2013

For this week’s reading roundup I read Rick Riordan’s short story The Son of Sobek in which Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series meets Carter Kane of the Kane Chronicles.  It was a fun read, if nothing majorly exciting.  I was disappointed that the enhanced ebook version with narration from author Rick Riordan was not available for Canadians – indeed, I purchased it on Kobo.   It also contains a sneak peak at the fourth book in the Heroes of Olympus series, House of Hades, which I am really looking forward to. I also read The Companions by R.A. Salvatore, which I received as a free copy from Netgalley.  I plan to write a full review of it later, so I will save my thoughts for then.  Suffice it to say, I wish I’d discovered R.A. Salvatore much sooner. The final book I read/listened to was The Lost Colony, the fifth in Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl series.  This is a series I much prefer listening to on Audible, mainly because of Nathaniel Parker’s wonderful narration.  His accent work and general excellent storytelling make this series a joy to listen to.  Check out a sample.
