Things are heating up! My first time through this series and am still enjoying the overarching story, lack of romance, and mythic retelling. Fun easy reading. Percy turns 15 in next book so I assume the foreshadowed romance between him and Annabel will heat up alongside the impending war salvos.
Paul Blofis! He‘s not just the stepdad, he‘s the dad that stepped up!
But in all seriousness, to be dropped head first into the absolute nonsense that is Percy Jackson‘s life, and not only rolling with it but going yeah I want to hitch my wagon to this wild train? I really love his character. 😆
#SundayFunday Have a wonderful Father‘s Day if you celebrate! And if you don‘t, for whatever reason, I hope you have a fantastic day! 💖
Once again, Rick Riordan delivers a captivating story that I just had to keep reading. I‘m so glad I decided to grab this story, it is so great! In this new installment, we find our heroes in a whole new quest, and this time, someone else has come to be a part of the group: Thalia, Zeus‘ daughter, and one of the most powerful demigods ever born.

Wowsers. These books really do just get better and better don‘t they. Really enjoying reading these aloud to my son and enjoying them for the first time together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I still love this series, but I don‘t want to give any spoilers. It is just as epic and fun as the first two books. I am starting book four later.
I liked this book more than the second one. I liked that percy wasn't always the center of attention and made room for other heroes to shine.
The book is amazing if you love to read young fantasy!
"Apollo?" I guessed, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad.
He put his fingers to his lips. "I'm incognito. Call me Fred."
Unabridged Audiobook (8/10):
Another wonderful adventure in the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles! I truly forgot about so much of this series, so I‘m so glad to be revisiting it after so many years (and in such a short time)! Excited to see Percy, Grover, and Annabeth come face to face with Pan!

Finished Stephen Kings Fairy Tale. Now Im starting the third installment of the percy jackson series
#BookReport - Well, I did winnow a few more out of the windowsill, and should finish the tagged book sometime today. But starting tomorrow I seem to have embroiled myself in a LOT of chapter-a-day books, which will slow down my windowsill reading... and after adding May's books, the windowsill is BURSTING! 😂 While none of the books I read this week were new faves, they were all solid, engaging reads. And looking at the books that are left - ⬇

I don't think this quote needs much of an explanation. I think this is a lesson everyone needs reminded of throughout their life.

As part of my goal to annotate more, I'm also wanting to share some of my favorite quotes from books I'm reading and this was probably my favorite from THE TITAN'S CURSE. I love the introduction of the concept that monsters and evil doesn't have to look like our stereotypes of monsters and evil.
I‘m behind on my reviews so forgive me as I spam you guys today…
But THE TITANS CURSE is my favorite book of the series so far! I loved the plot, the inclusion of some bigger life messages to consider, the character development, all wrapped up in the same witty narrative. Because of these things I‘m rating it ⭐️4/5.
Does anyone else love the original covers more than the Disney covers?
Slowly but surely making my way back through this series ☺️☺️
Oof 💀 should I be shocked that I expected more smutty scenes?!
This gave me chills! 😱😍🥶
This is the third part of the series and I finished this book quite quickly. It is the last book in the series that I currently have so I will be taking a small break from Percy Jackson until I can get my hands on the next two books. In general though, I really enjoyed this book and am loving the series so far. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
These books keep continueing to be so enjoyable! I loved Bessie, Blackjack made me laugh and even Mr. D. had a good moment! The plot is not very suprising and you can feel twists coming for pages, but I will take that for granted. The Gods feel very much alive to me and all the myths are being reborn. I love this series for that!
Just started reading this after reading Six of Crows and wow ya'll the transition to this mindset has been wild.
#MayCharacters Day 6: A character who's mythical

The third book thunder from Rick Riordan and my favourite from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series, Titan's Curse keeps you hooked throughout the story, ending with a jaw-dropping revelation!
Blossoms and a book at the park today! 💕📚🌸
I actually think this book is my favorite so far of the series. It was fun, and though I think there was a slow beginning with a lot of new information, there were plenty of action sequences to make up for it. There is a lot at stake, and we dive deeper into the characters. What I really enjoyed was that because the characters are getting older there are some deeper themes. I loved seeing the characters‘ reactions showing how they have grown.

Continuing on with the Percy Jackson saga. 𝙿𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢 is happy to relisten - it has been 4-5 years since we read them together - and Beatrix enjoys following along and seems to be developing some knowledge of Greek gods and mythology. Riordan does well at placing the traditional creatures of mythology into a modern narrative. Zoe Nightshade is a favourite of ours - even inspiring Polly‘s Book Week costume one year.
I haven't been on Litsy in almost two years. I also haven't updated my bookstagram in a year. I never finished re-reading PJATO, not even The Titan's Curse. Things happened...I'm still here...barely. I'm sorry I left you, Litsy. Maybe I will be back soon...
I'm currently reading Enchanteé by Gita Trelease, slowly.
Not bad, put off by the slurs in it though
To me this is one of the saddest books in this series. So much heartbreak and loss. One of my favorites. Plus I can remember how happy and sweet Nico was before he became so bitter and angry.
Managed to read this in a few hours 🤩. #percyjacksonandtheolympians #percyjackson #rickriordan #annabethchase #nicodiangelo #percabeth #groverunderwood

The book I am currently reading takes place in 2010-2015 kind of era because they have Miami, Forests, Donut shops, so I think my book could fit in 2020, because the characters are interacting like regular teenagers, and have technology that we still use today such as the phone. if the story took place in 2020, they would have updated technology and because the story uses real place, the wildfires and coronavirus could affect them.
The third book in the series. I enjoy these books and am getting drawn into them more and more. They are entertaining and lighthearted. There is a depth of story and connection while also being fairly simple and unencumbered. I will keep reading them.

I would recommend to students my age, or past Harry Potter fans, because Percy Jackson is similar to Harry Potter because of its wizardry and magic.
In the book so far, Percy who is the main character, has 1 friend she met at Demigod camp, named Annabeth. They interact together like best friends, and in this book Percy keeps talking about how mature she looks than she used to be, and Annabeth does seem more serious and mature in the book.

Fiction.
So far I am in the 3rd Book of the Percy Jackson Series, and so far there are 3 teenagers Percy, Thalia, and Annabeth who are actually demigods, who secretly find monsters such as Medusa. They start off by being dropped of at a school who have 2 other demigods or “half-bloods“ at the school, but a Vice Principal who is actually a secret monster, attacks the other half-bloods.
I have been trying for the last 2 hours to read this, I have managed two chapters because I keep getting texts and phone calls and video calls. -_-
I‘m so conflicted with myself sometimes, because while being annoyed about this, I‘m also feeling lonely because I have tried partaking in bookish conversations in social media the past few days only to be ignored. I just want to have conversations with people sometimes.
Book three was great. Wrong about trains. But fun interactions with gods.
I‘m catching up on some reviews that I haven‘t had the energy to post since coronavirus shook our world. I haven‘t read much in the past few months, but I‘m hoping to change that now. My kids loved all of these books, the were fun for me to read with them as well.
4/5💚s
So good I immediately had to start reading the next one and almost forgot to post a little review. Each book is better than the last. Just digging all the Greek mythology and adventure in these books, which are not without their twists and turns!
Just finished book 2 and nothing is stopping me from starting book 3!
Enjoying this series.
