2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Post your books with an awesome hero here!

For this one, I chose "Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor", the second book in the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan. I love Riordan's books, and this series is especially funny and amazing. I didn't love this book as much as I did the first one, because it felt slow at times and the sense of urgency and adventure we had last book was missing, I think. Still, I really liked it and laughed a lot during this. 4 stars.

Beowulf

This is a MUST read for any hero's journey - the epic Beowulf who defeats the monster Grendel, then the dragon. This fantastic story is an easy read, full of courage, honor, glory, and warrior strength. I highly recommend!

I read The Fallen by Ace Atkins. I like Quinn Colson, Lillie Virgil, and most of the characters of Tibbehah County, Mississippi. I'm ready for the next one, because I need to know why Lillie Virgil did what she did. Fannie can move on down the road any day after what she did. I recommend reading these in order, although it's not required.
