What Zoey is Reading Updated

This past month hasn't been very good for reading new books. We haven't picked anything up from the book store in awhile. I will have to remedy that so we have some different books for nap time reading.

CURRENTLY READING: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief

The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters by the age of twelve. Only a few learn the truth of their identity and make it to Half Blood Hill, a Long Island summer camp dedicated to training young demigods. Such is the revelation that launches young Percy Jackson on a quest to help his real father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods. With the help of Grover the satyr and Annabeth the daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction - Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, they face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop them. Most of all, Percy must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.

I really wish I hadn't of watched the movie before reading the book because they are very different, and it is throwing me off. Despite that fact, I am really enjoying story time with this book and look forward to when we read the next book in the series.

JUST FINISHED: Goosebumps: Stay Out of the Basement

Dr. Brewer is doing a little plant-testing in his basement. Nothing to worry about. Harmless, really. But Margaret and Casey Brewer are worried about their father. especially when they ... meet ... some of the plants he is growing down there.

Then they notice that their father is developing plantlike tendencies. In fact, he is becoming distinctly weedy - and seedy.

Is it just part of their father's "harmless" experiment? Or has the basement turned into another little shop of horrors?

This book was better than the first Goosebumps book we read, but is still lacking in some excitement. However, I will say that it took a turn I was not expecting.
