Following my last post, another sequel has been released this week. Rick Riordan, the author of the famed Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has written a sequel to the series called The Lost Hero, released today. With its release comes a premier party at BookPeople (an independent bookstore in Austin, if you happen to live out of town).
According to the BookPeople website, the event will include chariot races and rock climbing, in honor of the mythical nature of the books. You can also look forward to food and, of course, a chance to meet and get a book signed by Rick Riordan I’ve been to a few events at BookPeople, but never to one featuring Rick Riordan. The book signings that I have been to have all taken place inside the bookstore and have been fairly quiet affairs but the Percy Jackson series’ popularity, not just in Austin but nationwide, calls for a big celebration, and it sounds like it’ll be a loud but exciting event.
For all the Percy Jackson out there, this party might be worth taking time off of busy schedules to attend and enjoy the festivities, which start at 4 P.M today, and then the book signing at 6.
