Response: After reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas, I kind of hate everyone that recommended this book, and Maas for writing it. I breezed through it in 3 days between work and home, I enjoyed it so much. Feyre and Tamlin are adorable, but I can see issues happening in the future. The bickering between Feyre and Rhysand gave me life, and I'm looking forward to reading it in the next book. I have suspicions as to why he stumbled at the end, but I need to know. Sarah J Maas beautifully wrote a stunning and disgusting world that has complex characters that are entertaining to read. Feyre is a fighter I needed in my life. While she does have her weaknesses, she's probably the strongest of all the characters.

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.

The Stonekeeper (Amulet #1)

Image
Author: Kazu Kibuishi Read: 8/12/2017 Pages: 192 Rating: 3.5 Format: graphic novel: physical Response: Emily and Navin move with their mother to their great-grandfather's house who went missing many years before. It's a creepy old house from the first moment you see it. There was a weird Indiana Jones moment when the amulet showed up after Emily activated it with her hand and blood. The story has a weird combination of robots and magic, but it kinda works for the book. The only flaw this book had was that one of the main points was forgettable. I'm not sure how the monster got away with the mom, but it obviously isn't that big of a deal. As the first graphic novel I've ever read, I was satisfied with it for the most part. It was cute and easy to finish in one sitting.

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 ...
