Are you reading past your bedtime?

What are you reading?
Do you love reading so much that you read past your bedtime? I do, and I want to know what you're reading, then Blog all about the book! 
(don't be a book spoiler though!) Do you recommend it to other teens? Come on, dish!


I started the new Rick Riordan book that came out today. I love the Percy Jackson series, it's full of action, adventure and even a bit of romance!


Rick Riordan rocks writing books! He uses amazing imagery, and writes so descriptively that I can't help but read WAY past my bedtime! I think all of you should read his novels, you won't regret it!
