And I had no idea that it was actually the last book in the series. When I read the inside flap on my way to the register and learned that I held in my hands the conclusion to my favorite book series out right now, a swirl of responses mixed inside of me--excited to read the end, but sad that these were the final pages. I don't know how this piece of information escaped me, but I usually like to anticipate and mentally prepare for a final installment in an epic series. Like Harry Potter. I knew it was going to be the end, and I was ready for it.
But now I really can't wait to read it. I thought I'd have to wait at least another two or three years to learn how the series would end, but now it's sitting in the back seat of my car. I actually (no joke, this is how big of a dork I am) jumped in the air and pumped my fist as I walked out of Target, book in hand.
Does anyone else read these books? They're really fun; kind of a similar plot line to Harry Potter, but one of the best examples of a unique, kid-friendly voice out there.

Oh, how many are there? I just finished The Lightning Thief recently.
There are five! I coulda sworn somewhere I heard there were going to be ten. Go figure, haha.
