pickIn 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.
1. This time of year, at least, it‘s sunrise.
2. Worst petsitting job (ever)*
* I set aside The Grey Wolf for now for reasons I‘ll describe in the comments.

pickTo start off it feels good to have Percy Jackson and the gang back together. But I think this series has one big problem, because the series is a prequel and we know what happens,it kind of undercuts the entire series. I don‘t think this was entirely needed as I consider Percy‘s arc over as of house of hades. Aside from that, this had a lot of classic Percy Jason moments. This was a good story but wasn‘t important overall
This week, my joy comes mostly from my cats.
💖Rambo enjoying the fireplace for the first time this fall.
💖Alice making biscuits in her cozy new bed
💖Two 8 week old kitten sisters that have joined us. No names so far, just nonstop energy.
💖Beautiful fall walks

THE NEW PERCY JACKSON BOOK IS OUT TODAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
so-soThe book was told from Beautiful Joe‘s point of view. I enjoyed this, but it did get preachy at times. I agree with it all, but even so, it still felt a bit preachy. Many of the characters in the story were almost too good to be true, but at the same time, I think the book (originally published in 1893) was trying to teach kids not to be cruel to animals, they have feelings and feel pain, too. Interesting that it is actually a woman who wrote this
