It was great to see you last night. Hope you had as much fun as we did! And, holy cow, Becky Riordan commenting on your blog? You ARE a Rock Star Librarian!
But I knew that already....

We got our library copies of the new book in today--WOO!
We were there on Wednesday, and like his books Riordan does not disappoint. And this time, knowing the system, we were in the second signing group - not 241st in line.
I have written quite a bit on Rick and the Percy Jackson books over at my blog ... check it out!
The entling finished it before night fell and the book became my carry-along book anytime I was subbing in a library.
The rest is history.
In the years that have passed, I have had moving conversations with parents who tell me how much they owe to Riordan because his books were the ones that turned their child (and usually it is a son) into a reader.
I have only missed one Percy Jackson signing. That was last year and I really did have to attend entling no. 2's college graduation. They were the same weekend. It was hard. I had to really, really think about it.
There were less than 30 people in the store that first time we saw him. Today, they are using the campus of my old high school because they expect so many people.

Rick just wrote the books. You put them in the hands of young readers. You are the one that should be praised. YOU are the real rock star!
