Loved it!

After reading ACOTAR series I was excited for this series, and like always Sarah J Mass didn’t disappoint. It was LONG and a little slow at first but wow what a great second half. Bryce and Hunt together really drove the story as I was cheering for them the whole time. Loved it!

This book is always amazing. I love how neatly the facts about Greek mythology is woven into the story! Just from reading it I have somehow become the Greek mythology expert in the family. Another on of my favorite parts if’s the chapter names like “ I become supreme lord of the bathroom” and “ We learn the truth, sort of” there so funny compared to other authors chapter titles are so creative ( that was sarcasm) 1,2,3,4. Of course just the book itself is awesome the way that Rick Riorden writes, he writes with so much emotion and internal feeling like when Percy’s mother “died” fighting the Minotaur.

Early Years was a really fun read with a cool mix of magic, action, and a smart main character who’s reincarnated. I liked how Arthur was powerful but still had to learn and grow, which made him feel relatable. The world-building was awesome, and it made me want to keep reading the next book right away.

Very disjointed story line

This book is really funny and amazing! It’s about a couple of high schoolers who develop super powers and try to save the world. There is a tiny bit of romance but it doesn’t really get too annoying for those who don’t love romance like me. It’s a fun read and I really enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend this book!

In To Sell Is Human, Daniel H. Pink challenges the traditional view of sales as something only used by pushy professionals with quotas to meet. He argues that in today’s world, we’re all in sales, which I truly agree with, whether we realize it or not. Whether you’re a teacher persuading students, a parent guiding a child, or an entrepreneur pitching an idea, you’re constantly trying to move others. He introduces a new framework for effective selling, replacing the old “Always Be Closing” mindset with “Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity.” These qualities help us connect with others, stay resilient through rejection, and make complex ideas easier to understand. He also redefines the idea of pitching, offering creative alternatives like the one-word pitch or the Pixar pitch to match today’s fast-paced, attention-limited world. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that the best kind of selling isn’t about tricking people—it’s about serving them. If what you’re offering genuinely helps, and you present it with empathy and purpose, then selling becomes a human act, not a manipulative one.

Excellent memoir of adversity and letting go of an attachment to home, moving beyond guilt, and shedding shame. Tara could have easily fell into the life that her parents lived, but instead chose her own path despite how difficult it was to separate herself from her family, and ultimately losing them at the end.

after taking a break from reading over July 4th it took me a while to get into it again. The battle descriptions are becoming a bit tedious.... but I still find the book overall to become more enjoyable. But Arthur, like a 12 year old despite being so called a "King" in the past life started running from battlefront to battlefront, as if the strategic emphasis that he himself had meticulously worded with long strings of boring text were garbage. He left the frontlines to save Tess, then again to save his parents, whom both turned out to not need the saving.

A romantic suspense with twist turns! Enjoyable
