So.... I'm eating this up

Finally reading this specific translation. Definitely interesting some of the choices she made

I'm back!!! I've been having a little too much fun wandering around disney world on my days off....I haven't been reading much. Alas

This is getting fun. There is a lot more intrigue here than in the first series, I feel. I'm really getting shocked in

What is happening😭

... what is going on

Purchased from barnes and noble--got 25 dollars off the entire series hehe.
I said I wouldn't be reading these for a while. I lied

Oh golly, the road's gettin' bumpy

😭😭 it's so bad. I can't make it two chapters without crying. I didn't anticipate that the reread would be so painful and hurt more than the original read through. This book is too good. My mind begins to think I should reread east of eden next......I suppose I want pain 😂😭

I am in my myth retelling era (I will probably be listening to hadestown soon).
This is really bad (aka amazing), and I'm already weeping. Rereading this is worse than just a first time reading

GUYS WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING???? AHHHHHHHHHH

If Rick introduces a random new person for this prophecy, I will hate this. I have been reading this in every spare moment I have today....have to take a break. Don't want to

Actually what is going on. My precious little children are depressed and making crazy choices

Guys...I don't think you understand, I'm eating this up. So good so far

Guys, it's getting dark (the great climaxes always are. I'm not sure I'm ready for this). The slight lightness of the writing style doesn't totally fit. I feel like, (trigger warning: J.K. Rowling), Harry Potter really locked in on the dark tone and had a really satisfying but heartbreaking ending because the writing style and tone were equally dark and mature. We shall see

I've realized that Rick just uses 1-3 things from the Odyssey in every book. It's like an Easter egg hunt for me. The idea that Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson were his Ithaca made me nearly cry. Like... what do you mean? Too sweet

Some of these things are very hard to picture in my brain lol. A lot of the creatures in the first couple of books I had used in Age of Mythology (computer game), so I had a visual. I guess I need to look up some pictures

Caught up on stranger things, so this was on the back burner for a little bit.

OW!!! I forgot how painful this book is. Regretting my choice to reread it

Every book, Rick says Percy is not chosen like we are going to believe that he will just sit at camp and recount the mission after for a whole book.

Guys, these simply are too fun to devour
