Welcome to Litsy!

January pick was easy cause I only fully finished one book lol, oh well I should finish 2-3 books right away in February!! Thanks to @CSeydel for the bracket!!!

Absolutely flipping brilliant. I‘m a lifelong Greek mythology nerd and his telling of these stories was a breath of fresh air. And the humor! Loved it.

Watching the nibling for the afternoon, and they‘re doing a Greek mythology thing at school, so it‘s time to bring out the book I got for Christmas when I was their age. ❤️

#RiordanverseReadalong is carrying on with the Heroes of Olympus series and reading The Son of Neptune

I've created a bookclub on SG to keep things organized if anyone wants to join - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/158fd0c1-ae91-45ee-b40c-6ab2f39d101f

I just want to see which books rate highly

I'm excited to get back into this universe and I'm hoping for more Percy 😅

I know there‘s a week left but I‘m being proactive 😄

Couldn‘t decide what sort of mood I was in so I‘ve ended up reading 5 books concurrently….

An excellent retelling - I thought it was well written in a sympathetic way with modern overtones along with some humour. It‘s a sad story and I did feel for Medusa. She didn‘t deserve it. The gods themselves are brought to life wonderfully and they were easy to picture in my mind. By the end of the book I can quite safely say that Medusa isn‘t the monster in this story. My money is on Perseus! A thoroughly enjoyable and engaging read.

Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters is a really good book to read. I recommended reading it because it has a lot of deep friendships involved in the story.

These little people, quite recovered from their fatigue, had set about gathering checkerberries, and now came clambering to meet their playfellows.
Thus reunited, the whole party went down through Luther Butler‘s orchard, and made the best of their way home to Tanglewood.

This was a refreshingly different read, even amongst other books in verse I've read. You can tell the author gave a lot of thought into constructing the verses written, giving each character a unique structure, while still maintaining an air of humor, lightheartedness, and modern language. ⬇️
