Welcome to Litsy!

Definitely not my favorite but definitely liked the ending and knowing more about Sally. She‘s my favorite mom. Don‘t tell the other moms.

Finished this up on my lunch. I enjoyed this installment a lot. Lots of twists and turns (haha labyrinth - get it). I‘m ready for the next one

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Wrath of the Triple Goddess: 6/10 rating

In his efforts to get 3 godly recommendation letters for his New Rome application, Percy is enlisted to pet & house sit for Hecate, goddess of magic & crossroads. It goes about as well as you‘d expect.

I love Percy‘s voice so much. His humor & his empathy are so wonderful. The friendship between Percy, Annabeth, & Grover is delightful. & the resolution was satisfying! & we got backstories for minor characters! I can‘t wait for book 3.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

It‘s time to break out the Christmas mugs, because screw it. We‘re choosing what brings us joy right now.

16-25 Nov 24 (audiobook)
I have been along for the ride for many of the Rick Riordan books (literally, as Trix has listened to most of them during commutes to and from school) and read all of the early books to Polly. But they have become increasingly formulaic and it really felt as though this was just to meet a publishing deadline. Guess I am not the target audience - Trix found it entertaining enough, although does enjoy the earlier books more.

This was fun and a nice distraction from … all this.

Little by little I‘m working through #serieslove2024 and #tenbeforetheend while I figure out what to read for the rest of the year.

1. This time of year, at least, it‘s sunrise.
2. Worst petsitting job (ever)*
* I set aside The Grey Wolf for now for reasons I‘ll describe in the comments.
#two4tuesday on Wednesday

I was heartbroken after what I found in the beginning of this book. Books one through three were really fun, but Percy compared a band playing at school to the sound of animal abuse. I cannot and will not finish this series. All he had to do was say that Percy hated the music, but his comparison to animal abuse ruined his series that I would have finished.

Second book in the series. Still enjoying it so far. I‘ll have to pick up the next one from the library. I like the easy read after a long work day
