   Product Description:
   Read the Dynamite Blockbuster that Started It All!
   
   Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash--fast--but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family.
   
   Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water--wanted for murder.
   
   Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight--and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man.

There, Percy learns that the father he never knew is actually Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon Percy finds himself caught up in a mystery that could lead to disastrous consequences.

But things don't stay quiet for long.

To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters--the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new nameL: the Bermuda Triangle. Now Percy and his friends must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke...

The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have unwittingly fallen prey.

BTT: Fantasy and Sci-Fi…

One of my favorite sci-fi authors (Sharon Lee) has declared June 23rd Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Day.
As she puts it:

So! In my Official Capacity as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I
hereby proclaim June 23 Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day! A day of
celebration and wonder! A day for all of us readers of science fiction and
fantasy to reach out and say thank you to our favorite writers. A day,
perhaps,
to blog about our favorite sf/f writers. A day to reflect upon how
written
science fiction and fantasy has changed your life.

So … what might you do on the 23rd to celebrate? Do you even read fantasy/sci-fi? Why? Why not?

I'm in the middle of reading the Twillight Saga so I doubt I be reading any fantasy by that day. But to make it up. I be recontinuing my Harry Dresden Files after that.

I love reading fantasy or sci-fi the problem is sometimes I'm not sure which is which. The genre has melt into each other that it is no longer a separate genre at most time.

I remember my first SciFi was 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was 10. That was a hard one for my age but I insisted in reading it! Gladly to say I managed to go through it fine with my trusty dictionary! Yes dictionary!

Oh yeah I am rambling again. But yeah! I enjoy reading SciFi.
