Not as gripping as Cerulean Sea, but a lovely, almost cozy apocalyptic story

Henry Standing Bear and Vic Moretti only had small roles in this book. They are great characters

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.

EVERYONE who works in an office needs to read this. Everyone who has a Facebook account needs to read this. Anyone who uses social media on a platform owned by Facebook needs to read this.

While this book frequently references real Martha's Vineyard locations, it is unnecessarily violent as it tries to present itself as a murder mystery.

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.

An amazing book that embraces you into the characters lives 10 out of 10 recommend!!!!!!!!! :)

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.

This is a pretty good book about a girl named Mariana whose dad is running for president. Mariana has been supporting her dad completely even when she doesn’t like it that she is involved in his campaign. But when the activism club at school grows and starts activism that seems pointed against her father and an incident that breaches her privacy occurs, Mariana starts to learn that maybe her father isn’t the honest man she thought he was. Mariana wants to stand up to him. But how can she?

I had bought this at Goodwill after seeing it everywhere and hadn’t gotten around to reading it. When I heard it was going to be a TV show, I rushed to read it so I could watch the show. I had high hopes but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I didn’t love the characters which made it hard to get super into. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to watch the show still, the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.
