WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. My pick this week is The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan. I must admit to being a big fan of Riordan after the Percy Jackson series, mainly because of the witty and dry humour of Percy as a character. These aspects are also present in the Kane Chronicles series and I just love the mythology aspects of these books (Egyption Mythology) in this series. The Throne of Fire is the second instalment to the series and is due for release on 3 May 2011! I can hardly wait! PS. The covers are very colourful and pretty!Here is the blurp from Goodreads:
In this exciting second installment of the three-book series, Carter and Sadie, offspring of the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane, embark on a worldwide search for the Book of Ra, but the House of Life and the gods of chaos are determined to stop them.
What are you waiting on this week?

I loved the Percy Jackson books too, but I wasn't as fond of the Kane Chronicles. I think I just like the Greek Mythology more than the Egyptian Mythology. Riordan is a great writer though no matter what he writes. He is so funny in both series that it makes the books exciting to read.
Yeah I liked Percy too. good WOW. Thanks for sharing.
My WOW is a little different.

Oh, wow! You just have to love that cover. Simply gorgeous! I need to read the Percy Jackson series. :) My cousin actually met Rick Riordan at a book signing.
I liked the Red Pyramid a lot and am excited about The Throne of Fire as well! My husband and I went to Italy on vacation almost five years ago, right before we started having kids. It was our best vacation ever! Ah, the memories.....

I loved this first book of the series, and the all of Riordan's books are amazing. Great pick :)
I had thought about getting this series for my son, he isn't a big fan of reading.
