Welcome to Litsy!

Finished the 5th book in the Percy Jackson series. I really enjoyed it. Always a nice, easy read that‘s fun. Also, some of you may recall I lost my kitty back in March. A little over a week ago I adopted a new fur baby. Meet Aurora (“Rory”) - she‘s pretty shy and still skittish at times but she‘s warming up nicely

Percy Jackson journeys to the Bermuda Triangle in a quest for the Golden Fleece.

Another enthralling adventure. I hope it's not the last we see of Tyson.

Definitely not my favorite but definitely liked the ending and knowing more about Sally. She‘s my favorite mom. Don‘t tell the other moms.

Finished this up on my lunch. I enjoyed this installment a lot. Lots of twists and turns (haha labyrinth - get it). I‘m ready for the next one

Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters is a really good book to read. I recommended reading it because it has a lot of deep friendships involved in the story.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Wrath of the Triple Goddess: 6/10 rating

In his efforts to get 3 godly recommendation letters for his New Rome application, Percy is enlisted to pet & house sit for Hecate, goddess of magic & crossroads. It goes about as well as you‘d expect.

I love Percy‘s voice so much. His humor & his empathy are so wonderful. The friendship between Percy, Annabeth, & Grover is delightful. & the resolution was satisfying! & we got backstories for minor characters! I can‘t wait for book 3.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

It‘s time to break out the Christmas mugs, because screw it. We‘re choosing what brings us joy right now.

I have been along for the ride for many of the Rick Riordan books (literally, as Trix has listened to most of them during commutes to and from school) and read all of the early books to Polly. But they have become increasingly formulaic and it really felt as though this was just to meet a publishing deadline. Guess I am not the target audience - Trix found it entertaining enough, although does enjoy the earlier books more.

This was fun and a nice distraction from … all this.

Little by little I‘m working through #serieslove2024 and #tenbeforetheend while I figure out what to read for the rest of the year.
