Response: This was a reread for a bingo prompt. I actually used it for 2 of the prompts: "over a million ratings" and "admin/mod favorite". I don't think there'll ever be a time when I'm not satisfied with this book. Percy is still dumb and but I adore him. All the characters are relatable even with them being so young. And Percy's sass 😍
There will be few moments in life where more balls have been shown then when he sent Medusa's head to Olympus.

The Hidden Oracle

Image
Author:  Rick Riordan Read:  8/30/2017 Pages:  376 Rating:  5/5 Format:  physical Response: The Hidden Oracle is the first book in Rick Riordan's newest series The Trials of Apollo. It follows Apollo after he was cast out of Olympus by his father Zeus, sent to Earth to live as a mortal and complete trials for a half-blood that claims his service. He gets off to a rough start when he lands in a dumpster, and then as he struggles to adapt to not being handsome, or having any of the powers he was so used to.

It gave a little suspense to the book as you tried to figure things out along with Apollo and Meg. Apollo also brought the appropriate level of humor to the situation as he learned the world did not in fact revolve around ...

But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated--scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court." It's all fluffy filler to get us to the next book where we get to explore more with Cassian and Nesta. Nothing really changes in this book other than Ferya and Rhys are trying to have a baby now. Nesta's still a ragging bitch, Elaine is...

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 ...
