First time annotating a book! This is my spare copy of The Sea of Monsters, and I really have no idea what I‘m doing. I‘m a wimp and won‘t take chances, so we‘ll see how this goes.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was PHENOMENAL! It was packed with backstory, lore, character development, comedy, and tragedy. I can‘t even say much more other than the fact that I LOVED IT. The definition of a 5-star book in my opinion. March was actually a huge reading slump for me, and I didn‘t even get through this book until today (apr 2). But this book would‘ve been my pick for #readingbracket2025 even if it wasn‘t the only book I read that month.
I did end up choosing The House of Hades for the Jan/Feb decision. It‘s just so good, I can‘t not choose it! #readingbracket2025
“Nova shut her eyes and thought, if she were a villain worthy of the name, she would be with them now, celebrating or mourning. And if she were a hero, she would be hurrying to help any Renegades who might be trapped and hurt beneath the rubble. Instead, she listened to the sounds of the city in distress, and did nothing.”
Picking this book for the #readingbracket2025 was not a hard decision. It was a wonderful book and by far my favorite this month! Now, the hard part is going to be which book wins the bracket. Probably The House of Hades, but I‘m posting this at 1:30am and don‘t want to choose right now.
pickI loved this book so much! It had wonderful character development and great plot. It was also pretty funny. I love Apollo, he‘s such a dork!
“Britomartis was wrong. I didn‘t fear water. I simply couldn‘t look at the surface of any pool without imagining Commodus‘s face, stung with betrayal, staring up at me.” “I was interfering in mortal affairs— not just to save lives, or to save Rome, but because I could not stand to see my beautiful Commodus die by anyone else‘s hands.” When I tell you these two lines BROKE ME- OMG, this scene was so good but SO SAD at the same time! AAAAAAAA!!!
pick4.25/5 I loved this book! I was really disappointed at the ending (no spoilers) but I‘m looking forward to the next book in the series!
I wasn‘t sure about this book at first, but I‘m really starting to enjoy it! I think Daxon agrees lol.
Did I cry? Yes. Did I love it? Also yes! I finished this book yesterday, and it was AMAZING! Here‘s my fill out of wanderinglynn‘s Off My Shelf. I‘ll be using this for any book I read this year that matches one of these. The three books I have so far are The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan and Escaping Peril: The Graphic Novel by Tui T. Sutherland. I apologize for the tilted picture.
