It's so nice to go back and re-read the story, better to own my own copy. I'm still enjoying the modern settings and the way that Smythe has reconstructed the characters as she tells her narrative. It's a definite slow burn between Hades and Persephone here.
A lot of additional characters have their moments to allow the story to build on what was already introduced in the previous volumes.

I'm currently really struggling to read, but I found listening to this very interesting book did help somewhat to get me out of my slump.

This was really so informative and fascinating. I didn't realise how easy our eating habits are influenced by our environment. I truly believed myself above this, but was so shocked at how many things I thought was my choice only to realise that it was really the things around me.

So disappointing!
This series started out fantastic, I was so glad to find a YA that wasn't all Love and Butterflies. But it just went down hill from there; concluding with this disjointed story.
It's almost as if what happened in the first book and the conclusion of the series have nothing to do with one another.

This is the second book by Virginia Woolf that I've tried. And I'm sorry to say I just don't like her writing energy. At points it felt frantic and chaotic and I had to put all my mind-power to work to stay with the story.
I just feel that I've worked way too hard for this little book.

This felt like catching up with old friends.
I love the dynamic Slaughter created between four of my favourite characters (Will, Sara, Faith and of course Amanda)
Even with this very dark, disturbing and sad topic I couldn't put down the book! Slaughter knows how to capture her audience.

Can hardly wait to meet my friends again in the new one.
And I know it might be a long wait.

Quite the adventure!
H.G Wells's idea of the future is dark, scary, and sad I'm glad I only got to visit it briefly. The social stratification he explores is nerve-racking and made me think just how easy it could come to pass

A fun, light-hearted listen that made me smile. And honestly that was all I was looking for when I pressed play on this one.
I did however liked 'Talking as Fast as I Can' more. This was a good add-on just maybe a bit too short.

This is my favorite Hawkins novel. Emily is a cozy mystery writer who goes on a trip to Italy with her best friend Chess, a self-help guru. There at Villa Aestas, Emily finds the journal of Mari Godwick, who wrote Lilith Rising, a cult horror novel from the 70s. It's very gothic, Mary Shelley with some Fleetwood Mac thrown in.

I've forgotten how much fun these books are.
I've read many Non-Fiction and Fiction about the greek gods, but the way this is told made me feel I really got to know these characters.
Made me want to re-read all Riordan's books again.
