Welcome to Litsy!

I started this series at the end of 2019 and binged a couple more books. Solid storyline. #2020read

Another good one from Riordan! Second in the Heroes of Olympus series we meet our old friend Percy as he embarks on a quest with two Roman demigods, each with a secret. Epic hi-jinx ensue.

Book two of the year, first one down for #JumpStart2020. Now what to choose next...

Well, I thought the tagged book would be either my last of 2019 or my first of 2020, but it was neither. I‘m still working on it (life got in the way today). Instead, last finished was Aphrodite the Beauty, in the MG Goddess Girls series (required reading from the kiddo) and first finished this year was The Spider Sapphire Mystery read-aloud with the kiddo. It wasn‘t a great start! 😬

Happy New Year! With today‘s time I got about 25 hours 33 minutes in #24B42020 - less than I‘d hoped but better than expected. I wanted to finish one more book (tagged) but I picked more than I could bite off. Plus reading 2/3 of a Nancy Drew to the kiddo today, then we watched a movie while waiting for fireworks to wind down; it all cut into my reading. Guess I‘ll finish this for my first read of 2020!

My family and I bought the whole “Heroes of Olympus“ collection when it was on sale, and now I'm finally getting around to reading it.
400 pgs

Percy is confused. He wakes up from a long sleep and didn't know anything besides his name. He somehow makes it to another camp of half-bloods. The only thing he can recall from his past is one name: Annabeth.

In this one we catch back up with Percy, who meets up with some new friends. I liked the tension created by Percy‘s lost memories.

#letstravelaugust day 5—the adventures in this book take the characters to #alaska!

Pretty sure I'll finish this by Friday. Glad my brother recommended these to me.

Anyone else have interesting reading positions? #reading #summerreading #library

I may have accidentally bought the last four books in this series today while I was out running errands...and two Lori Foster romances, one of which is the last in the series I‘m currently reading...and ordered the third and fourth books in Devon Monk‘s Allie Beckstrom series...and preordered the next Disney Princess Beginnings book for the kiddo.

I was out to pick up a prescription and look for a new pair of shoes...

I seriously love these books. I needed these as a kid! They're so fun and adventurous. It has a lot of good themes behind the writing and I never feel bored

Meh for most of the books. But that cliffhanger and it‘s hard not to love Percy.

I think I got this! Say hello to the Karpoi. They‘re grain spirits - children of the original Greek gods, Tartarus and Gaea. I know this thanks to Percy Jackson rather than that Ancient History paper I took in university 😂😂😂 Anyway they‘re one of PJs enemies. Great scene in this book where the heroes are sitting recovering in a field and the wheat grabs one of them and drags them away! (Art is from the graphic novel)

Little Tyrian and I are getting our summer reading time in this evening while it‘s beautiful out.

When it‘s hot and I‘m feeling extra pregnant and cranky, I sit down right in front of the AC with a book, iced coconut milk, and a mandarin orange. Here‘s to uncrankifying (yes it‘s a word now, I‘ve so declared it) before the hubby gets home!

I didn't love it as much as the first book but still enjoyed it! Loved the two timelines of Hazel specifically

Back on the "catch up on Rick Riordan" train

Finishing out the work week with this #worklisten. I have been blasting through the audiobooks at this gig.

I‘m working really hard to finish book series— and luckily this one has an audiobook! Book #2 of the Heroes of Olympus series!

Great reread. Cant go wrong with Heroes of Olympus

I own zero books with snow on the cover, apparently I hate the cold so much I don't even want a representation of it. But this series is fabulous on audio.

Great read. Very fun

If you have read the previous Percy Jackson then you know what to expect. I gave it 4 stars since I'm still a bit confused with Greek and Roman thing but overall a good story in itself. I do miss Annabeth and Grover though.

This post is a shout out to my sister (who's not on Litsy, but) who saw my book sleeve collection and said, "I can make that" and got out her sewing machine and nerdy fabric and fleece stash and bought some foam and started sewing.

This is her "Zelda prototype" that I snuck into my bag. ?She wanted to get it right before she busted out the Beauty and the Beast fabric. ?

I didn‘t realized how much I missed Percy until I read this book. The sassiness of that boy gives me life. This was leaps and bounds better than the first installment of the series.

5 Stars

It was great to see Percy again and I loved the addition of Frank and Hazel as characters too. Loving the way Rick weaves mythological events into our times and world. Makes mythology enjoyable and easier to remember. Can't wait to see how the series goes from here too.

Vacation reading! 📚❤️

At last we know what happened to Percy! This crossover from Rick Riordan is incredible. Can't believe I waited so long to try this series.

You know that feeling when the library sends you an email to let you know the ebook you had on hold is in and has automatically been checked out to you? Yeah, I'm totally basking in that feeling. 😍

I'm reading this series to my daughter; it's a second read for me. The first time I read Lost Hero and the rest, I had not yet read Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I wanted to know if the new series could be read without the background of the first series. In my opinion, yes it can but it is more fun reading with the background of Percy's first adventures.

My daughter and I are both loving the revisit with Nico.

Just started this. Already loving it.

I pretended to be sick so I could read SoN instead of going to school. Such terrible headaches and stomachs pains. 😫

I do all formats, and while I love my Paperwhite, my favorite will always be hardbacks. ❤

I liked this book significantly less than the first one..... so to say as much as I like the rest of Rick Riordon's books. You can check out my full review of possible reasons I didn't like this book on my GoodReads! Same username as here

Hello everyone! I'm a little more than halfway through with TSoN.

I do strange things for my classes. Like build a fort out of the books in my room.

I visited the DMV to renew my license and I didn't even have time to read my book. It should feel like a birthday gift, but I feel disappointed somehow. LOL #flashflash100yarddash #happybirthdaytome
