Read Like an Egyptian

Last night Nathan and I attended an event with Rick Riordan. He is the author of many, many books: Percy Jackson series, Kane Chronicles, Heroes of Olympus, and some of the 39 Clues. We are so fortunate to have an amazing public library that put on a fun event!



I've never read his books, but apparently the Kane Chronicles is Egyptian-themed, so the library staff dressed up accordingly. They even put on a mini show in costume before Rick Riordan came out.





Mr. Riordan was very entertaining! Even though I haven't read the books, I loved listening to his stories of how he started writing children's books, why his books are mythology-based, and even what some of his book covers look like in other countries and languages!



I also enjoyed getting to have some special one-on-one time with Nathan! I am grateful that he loves to read, and that we had a great evening together!
