I am reading Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. hilarious and The sea of Monsters see I said I would get sucked into the series.
My 12 year old son has read the entire series of Gregor, the Overlander and Percy Jackson and The Olympians several times. He also loves the Maximum Ride books by James Patterson.

The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursu
I'm looking forward to more great YA reads in 2009.
If you like kid lit, Rick Riordan has a series- the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books. They are about actual heroes as defined by ancient Greek mythology- the children are the result of Gods/Goddesses mating with humans. So throughout the books you encounter all sorts of Greek Gods and G ...
... Women Astronomers was an ARC, but I loved it! Really well done.

K, did you get "permission" to read Dewey or did you just steal it?
I finished Sea of Monsters and can't wait to read Titan's Curse!
I also started The Eyre Affair today. Interesting so far!
Percy Jackson books definitely. Also, check out The Imagicators by Brad Marshland. I love this because in the Imagicators books, magic isn't about spells and magic wands. It's about the power of imagination.
A_R, have you read the first two in the Heir series? I liked the first two much better than the third.
I just started The Sea of Monsters tonight. I keep laughing out loud, much to husband's annoyance. I love this series!

I just finished reading The Sea of Monsters . I thankfully already own the third book, but I'm contimplating if I should wait because I really don't want to buy the fourth one till it's in paperback since my other copies of the series are all in paperback.

And update to add that since I posted, I have read all three of the Percy Jackson books and I totally loved them. My 11 year old boy is hooked too and has told his friends about them, which is high praise in my opinion.

This was a fun read and a good sequel. Now, I'm ready for the third book in this series.
Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, starting with The lightning thief, then The Sea of Monsters and (just out) The Titan's Curse. Breezy, fun stories of mythology in modern clothing.
