CHAPTER TWO: #Zeus might look cute in his festive holiday cowl but trust me his mood was just as scary as Schedoni and his disposition was both gloomy and ferocious 🙀
Joking aside the description of Schedoni gave me chills and I can‘t wait to read more about him and the formidable Marchesa!

jenniferw88 Love it! 4y
batsy Yes! My hair stood on end when Schedoni entered the picture. 4y

#SuperSeptember update: four goals met, 1 DNF completed another; doubt I‘ll get to my last goal as I have a queue of borrowed books I need to work on next. Will try to get to Spin by the end of the month.

Zeus was not only my #doublespin this month, but it put me atop Mt Everest for my unofficial #MountTBR challenge! Now to see if I can focus enough to read my own books to get to Mt Olympus.

Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 always awesome.

Mehso-so

I‘m kind of disappointed, tbh. This “journey” was rambling, disjointed, and had very little of the framing modern-day trip. I found the Zeus stuff interesting but didn‘t understand the organization very well. There was a LOT of “but that story is beyond the scope of this book” and while true, lots of digressions that would have bloated this book, it still feels like a blow-off. Should have been better.
#doublespin done

Agamemnon, however, had always treated the world as though it were his by Divine Fiat and that, because of this, things would always turn out for the best no matter what he chose to so. Sometimes, his efforts appeared to be inspired.... At other times, however, his decisions seemed destructively thickheaded.... But in Agamemnon‘s mind, it was important not to admit having made a mistake.

This attitude seems familiar...

Hooked_on_books So he‘s a white guy 🤔 4y
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books and I‘m betting he would have handled the pandemic really well, just really well. 4y

#SuperSeptember update
First two done, 45% on the tagged, DNFed Regina, haven‘t started Spin. And getting the Kendi yesterday from the library affects things, but I‘m trying to make progress on Zeus before switching gears.
Overall I feel like I‘m doing pretty well.

Andrew65 You‘re doing great, well done 👏👏👏 4y
charl08 Nice work! 4y
ravenlee Oh, I forgot - almost done with the readaloud, too! About ten pages to go, so finish today or tomorrow. 4y

I‘m taking a stab at #SuperSeptember with the following goals:
Finish Mercury Striking on Hoopla
Read candidate guide on Kamala Harris on Hoopla
Read the tagged for #doublespin
Finish I Am Regina for kiddo history preview
Start and maybe finish Spin for a #bookspinbingo
Finish current readaloud with the kiddo to complete the Tuesdays at the Castle series

Things are tough (so different from the last six months 🙄) so we‘ll see how this works out.

ravenlee If I accomplish these goals (or most of them), I will also summit Mount Everest in my unofficial #MountTBR challenge! 4y
Andrew65 Good luck, great goals 😊👍 4y

#TwoforTuesday @TheSpineView

1) Can‘t think of a literary character I wish I was named after, but Andie McDowell‘s character in the movie Green Card is named Brontë and I think that would be such a cool name!
2)Our cat is #Zeus (came with the name). Our dog is #LordByron. My daughter named him. While a real person, he was also a character in a play my daughters were in at Girl Scout Camp.?

AlaMich What an adorably goofy face Lord Byron has! 🐶❤️ 4y

A page turner you won‘t want to put down, Bennett‘s 2nd novel represents a huge leap forward in her maturity and growth as a writer. The plot carries you along with plenty of unexpected and sometimes incredible turns, while delving into race, identity, intersectionality with deep empathy. She very deftly reveals both the fiction of race and its all too real power to define and to limit while examining what we gain and lose as we strive to become.

Better than the first Heroes in Training, this installment follows Zeus, Poseidon, and Hera on a quest to find the golden trident. A pleasant middle grade myth-based adventure. Assigned reading from the kiddo.

Fourth finish of #24B42020 brings me to 15:32. @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @jb72

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 5y
