The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, Book 2) | 
pickContinuing my trip to the past.
I still marvel at the bold choice Colfer made and at how well it paid out—making the child MC technically a villain. Even if there‘s a redemption arc in the works, Artemis clearly starts as a bad person with almost no redeeming qualities. We‘d eat that up in an adult antihero, but for a middle grade character is‘s almost unheard of.
Loving it.
4/5
Butler, Artemis, and holly as well as root were traveling through the arctic and they were under this over hang and it seemed unusually to butler then he realized that it was a trap. There were three goblins in the sky with hover chairs and soft noses. Suddenly the over hang crumbled on top of root and he was stuck in a blink.
pickArtemis and the fairies get together to battle goblins and Russians.
I‘m reading this book and at the beginning of the book it talked about the end of the last book and then it got into the beginning if this book and his dad was legally declared dead but Artemis knew that he wasn‘t. He was determined to prove that he wasn‘t.
pickBook 2 in The Artemis Fowl series. Artemis has to depend on his “friends” among the People to help him rescue his father - for a price of course. Lots of tech, crazy ideas, and action! Artemis seems more human in this one. #100YEARS100BOOKS #55 #BookSpinBingo #1 #BFC21 #SERIES2021 #YApril #4 #AwesomeApril
pickThis follow up to the first was twice as epic a story. Loved it!
And this is why it's good to reread books, wow I hadn't realized that the #faeries reached out to Artemis about this case! I had the impression that he always twisted their arm for their help 😆😅🤔 #fantasy #middlegrade
pickBeen listening to an old favourite to send me to sleep. Artemis Fowl has been my favourite for a long while - I love Mulch, I think he‘s a great character.
pickJust as much excellent fun as the first one!😍
so-so#AuldLangReads Day 6: Thanks to the fact that we have been blogging since 2010, I was able to easily retrieve a #BookYouReadIn2010, and reviewed too: “the writing is witty and playful with a touch of the mischievous and the disgustingly grotesque. Perfect for kids and adults who are kids at heart really, except that it was just way too overboard for me” - more here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-2B
pickAnd another book done.
Wow I missed out not reading these books as a kid, the writing is SO GOOD! I love the humor, the action, the thought put into building the world... Aaaaaahhh! 🤩🤩🤩
... DISNEY: YOU BETTER NOT MESS THIS UP!!
Still looking for Audiobook recommendations. Haven't heard from anyone. Again, tag your suggestions in the comments.

I don't know why, but that just cracked me up! 😂 😜
pickI didn't really mean to read the second installment so soon after the first, but that's how the hold worked out. This was just as action-packed and fun as the first.
so-soPotions OWL: 3.75⭐️
I forgot how much I really enjoy these characters and all the random side comments on environmentalism. But even though I enjoyed the story, I think the pacing kind of threw me off throughout it. It took me a while to really get into it, and then when i did, it seemed like the pacing slowed again and I had to force myself to continue until it picked up.

I‘ve been reading so much these past couple of days and I still can‘t finish any of the books I‘m on 😂 hopefully by tomorrow I have 2 out of my main 3 done!

For my next ingredient in my OWLs exam for potions, I‘m reading the sequel to Artemis Fowl. Wanted to pick something I‘m going to enjoy but not rush through too quickly and I think I found the perfect ingredient that I needed!

This is my commute read, for the cab when I am going home. When it gets dark outside Kindle is my friend!!! LOL !!
"The Gulf of Kola was not a place you wanted to be after September, especially not Murmansk. In Murmansk, even the polar bears wore scarves. Nowhere was colder, except perhaps Norilsk"❄️
This is such a great start for the novel. I still remember the quote although I've read those Artemis Fowl books in my school days. Hooray for bears wearing scarves!?#babyitscoldoutside #WinterWonderland @Cinfhen @TrishB
pickFinished book 2 of Artemis Fowl's story. I never made it past this point when I read the series as a teenager, but I'm determined to see it through this time. 😉 4/5 stars
Happy birthday to meeeee! Sleeping in late, coffee, books, and wine with my best friend. 💖
pickI just finished this re-read, yay! I didn‘t remember much of it until I was fairly close to the end. I like the development of Artemis and really think he could use some friends his own age. I have the graphic novel out from the library so I‘ll see how it holds up agains the book. #fowladay
These are small stands. Actually they are heavy plate stands from Longerberger. They are small. They hold kids paperbacks and some small hard covers really well. The bottom rungs are close enough that books sit nicely. Big books , one won't fit width wise, and tall books throw the balance off and cause them to fall backwards. Also nice, they can hang on the wall. Iron and heavy. Most plate stand are too flimsy but these are not.
pickI just finished listening to this book, and again, it affirmed this series as my most #BelovedSeries. So much fun and wit and charm, and it makes me so happy. #Riotgrams #FowlADay
I'm so glad #ThrowbackReadathon overlaps with #24in48 this weekend, since I've been meaning to read these (mostly) middle/high school favorites for months now. It's going to be a good weekend (even if I can't make the full 24 hours 🤷♀️).
I feel like I've mentioning Artemis Fowl monthly (at least)—but that's just because the first two are a couple of my most #WellLovedReads, I guess. #Riotgrams
