Dan crashing out over being the friend who always gets left on read in the group chat... he's just like me fr

A whole chapter about how good this clam chowder he ate was is crazy

“Video game side quest” “#onbrand” “I would pass away. Right on the spot”

Nico does NOT talk like this 😭

I had my suspicions, but WHAT?!

"we could talk about Taylor Swift" Beth is just like me fr

More Leto POV than I expected

Kinda losing steam ngl. Needs more of the kids and less adults

I can already tell its amazing, but Jesus it is dense and verbose. Can't remember the last time a book challenged my vocabulary like this

Wtf is their problem?

Omnibuses are so comically large, I got a workout carrying this thing home

A big pet peeve of mine in fantasy is when there are other races in addition to humans, and they reveal that most every major achievement/invention in human civilization is actually because of those other magical species stepping in and humans are just totally useless and boring. Like, come on. Be original.

It is time.

POWER OVER SPICE, IS POWER OVER ALL

My girl Hecate is here!!!!!!

This is so raunchy, I'm amazed Disney decided to adapt it

Loved the Netflix adaptation. Barely remember a thing, but I know I loved it.

I did not need that much detail about historic jewelry

Dorian Gray must be a child of Aphrodite

This trio is so interesting. Obviously premise-wise Jason is the main character, yet character wise Piper appears to be the protagonist (most similar to Percy), but then this also makes Leo the least obvious about what direction his arc is going to go in, sparking more intrigue in him.

Ok, definitely didn’t remember that word being in this book. To be fair, it was 2006 and Percy’s heart was in the right place lmao

In Percy’s defense, Chiron and Mr. D do a terrible job of explaining the whole situation to him. They did not give a fuck. Annabeth had to tell him what a half blood is! I feel like people often want to characterize Percy as being clueless and silly, when really he’s a 12 year old who just found out polytheism is real. Can you blame him?!

Despite me claiming this series and Percy as one of my all time favorite books and characters, I honestly don’t think I’ve reread this since middle school. So I’m very excited to do so now before the new show premiers.

Richard may be the most Holden Caulfield-coded character I’ve ever seen

Have not read this since 7th grade, so I'm very excited to see how my adult brain reacts to it!

COUNT DRACULA HAS JUST HAD A MUSTACHE THIS WHOLE TIME?!
