Response: The Dark Prophecy was a great follow up to the Hidden Oracle. Apollo continues on his mission to find the oracles of the world. There are 5 total, so I can only guess there will be 5 books to match. This book was exciting and kept me entertained the entire way through. Though there were instances of humor, it wasn't as memorable as the first book (unless it involved Leo). Apollo/Lester has started to grow as a human so the tone is a tad more serious and less naive then The Hidden Oracle. I hope the next 3 books compare. I'm also curious who the final emperor will be. Two have been reveled and it'll be interesting if the final one is named in the next book, what the final 2 books will be like. Will New Rome and Camp Half-Blood join in to fight? Will there be a massive fight somewhere? Or will it be a quiet war that never involves the masses? I have so many questions and not enough answers. May 1, 2018 is too far away.

TV shows that made me want to read the books

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I like to watch new shows before I read the books they're based on. If I hate the premise of the show, I'm certainly going to hate the book. But there have been a couple of TV shows over the years that have made me want to read the books that they're based on, just because I love the worlds that are built so much. Outlander is one of those shows that I heard about for so long, but I never really watched it. I knew everyone loved it, and it was really good, but I just never got into the idea of it. Then someone recommended the book to me. I know this is backwards from what this post was supposed to be, but I read the first book, and then watched the first season, and decided I was going to continue reading the series and then following it up with the show.  Currently I'm on book 4 Drums of Autumn. I know the last season has a lot of spoilers for it, but I'm still excited to finally get a chance to sit down and re...

January Bingo

This month I will be participating in a book bingo from The Book Democracy. This is my sheet before anything is filled in. Each week I'll post updates of how far I've gotten. My goal is one bingo by the end of the month. The rules are simple.  1. ONE book a month may be used on TWO squares, not including the free space. 2. Books must be started AND finished in the month of the bingo event 3. Books must be over 150 pages, and be middle grade level and above. Children's classics count as they are long enough.  4. Graphic Novels can only be used for the "Graphic Novel" prompt.  My plan of attack: Multiple POV: Day 21 by Kass Morgan LGBTQIA main character: A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (restart) by Mackenzi Lee Shape shifting character: Stolen by Kelley Armstrong Book that's older than you: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Intimidating Book: Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon Popsugar challenge 2019: Norse Mythology ...

4.5/5 Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan picks up 9 months after The Lightning Thief and Percy has almost made it through a full year at his new school. He has a new friend that the school has taken in as their charity case as he's homeless, Tyson. But it turns out Tyson is not only a cyclops, but also Percy's brother. They reach camp to find that someone has poisoned Talia's tree and the only cure is the golden fleece. While Clarisse is given the quest to go find the fleece, Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson all head out to look for Grover who's in trouble. They end up teaming up with Clarisse to get down to the Sea of Monsters, also known as the Bermuda Triangle. There, Annabeth and Percy run into all sorts of trouble with different monsters.

It continues to build the world and expand on the p...
