So I may have gone on a little bit of a Percy Jackson spree recently. I had to get a shirt ready for the watching the show, that was essential, and then it came today, and then we went to WHSmith's, and they had a 3 for 2 deal, and I couldn't just not get them...

I just can't wait for a bit of context on certain things, like who actually is Alabaster C Torrington? I've been seeing his name everywhere since Wrath of the Triple Goddess was announced and I just have no clue who he is. I just want to know. I hope I can know now, please. However, even if I don't, I got Nico singing a Camp Half-Blood parody of the Hokey Cokey, and that is good enough.

(The shirt was from Etsy, FunkyKittens.)

yall i just found out that "Arnold Beefcake" is a cannon character in the riordanverse... he's a child of ares from the 1950s

I got a copy of Camp Half-Blood Confidential and the fact that my man Will gets DIALOGUE in the first few pages and yet doesn't appear in the glossary of campers at the end... the disrespect... he should've gotten a bit written from his POV...

Camp Jupiter Classified: 3⭐️

Every book was cute and nice. We had short stories about different adventures. We had information about Greek, Egyptian and Nordic mythologies. Written in simple and funny way for every age. And the short stories were wholesome because I could reminiscing old memories.

Since I was already familiar with some myths, I can see how Rick worked those stories into something easy for the children and teenagers to read. The myths were told by Percy Jackson and it was a lot of fun. I recommend this read to the youngsters who like adventure and mythology and fantasy.

The books are great complementary to the different series. You’re not required to buy it of course, but if you want to read something to enlighten the day, then this is it.

Reading updates, which turned into a quick chat!

Finished reading Rick's books!

So here are the new books I finished lately:

Percy Jackson's greek gods.

Percy Jackson's greek heroes.

Camp half-blood confidential.

Camp Jupiter classified.

9 from the nine worlds.

I have to say that there was a lot of information in greek gods and greek heroes (considering I never read the illiad or the odyssey) that I felt like my brain might explode, BUT the books were so much fun and the writing knows how to keep you hooked that I couldn't put them down!

Pjo greek gods took me a day to finish (because I already had enough base on them) and greek heroes took me two days (because my knowledge here is not even a scratch, only what I learned reading pjo and hoo about Dedalus and Hercules, and I had a general idea of Psyche) also it had a bunch of weird names that I can't pronounce nor remember. The greek heroes one had a lot of crossovers, now, if I had an exam on them I'd pretty much write down these crossovers to remember them later, and I'd do other things like revising the hero's journey from memory after I finish.

But I did none of that. You don't understand, once you finish a hero's story there would be a moment of silence to admire them or to grief for them before launching onto the next. I was devastated when I finished Jason's and I was like, that's it? Did I really read the whole book?

To which a sane person will probably respond "go read Homer's books then!" But not yet, I'm not ready for big books yet ;-;.

Good stuff, good stuff. Highly recommended.

Now, I enjoyed camp Jupiter classified more than camp half-blood confidential (not because of Apollo, I swear). But a consistent story is really more fun than story chops that can also be two paragraphs.

Also camp half-blood confidential was focused on the lands and how to introduce them, their use and other things. On the other hand, camp Jupiter classified was literally "a probatio's journey" it was really fun reading about Claudia, although the plot was meh in my opinion, and I just hated how she didn't confront any authority from the beginning.

I read camp half-blood confidential in the same day I read Percy Jackson's greek gods. And I read camp Jupiter classified after reading Percy Jackson's greek heroes, like in the second day, aka like I finished it three hours ago.

And I read 9 from the nine worlds after and finished it like 15 minutes ago? Idk it was a packed day.

For 9 from the nine worlds, it hurts me to say I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the mcga series. Like the stories where fun but I only felt the same way the pjo fans felt while reading the lost hero, I was like,

WHERE IS MAGNUS??

WHERE IS MY BOY??

YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU GUYS BUT STILL, WHERE IS MAGNUS I WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT HIM!!

Until I reached Alex's part and I was like,

Oh he went to visit Annabeth. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T HAVE A STORY OF HIM TOO, AND WITH ANNABETH??

In conclusion, I felt like I was robbed. I pretty much highlighted every line his name was mentioned because I'm that petty and I just miss him so much ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ.

Anyways, this pretty much concludes my journey with Ricks books, I still have like 10 books left? to read them all, but they seem pretty boring ngl, guides and whatnot (not that I actually read them, I only judged by the title, lol).

And this also leaves the demigods and magicians crossover, which I might read in the future, emphasis on might.

But for now, I'm pretty contented with 30 books by Rick Riordan (ooof 30?? Damn I really got carried away) and just so you know, I started like by the end of July/beginning of August so they took me almost three months (I'm blaming tsats for the two weeks long reading slumber).

But yeah, only the rankings are left now! See you soon, hopefully!!

Fun Facts from Camp Half-Blood Confidential

• Back when Camp Half-Blood was still in Greece, a little girl looked at the camp's meeting house and said "that's a BIG HOUSE." The nickname stuck, and the house at the heart of Camp Half-Blood has been called "The Big House" ever since. (p 19) • The list of known Historical Demigods includes: Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, George Washington, Harriet Tubman, Madame Curie, Frank Lloyd Wright, Amelia Earhart, (p22) and James Dean (p112) • Further information on that last one: James Dean, famous actor from the fifties, was a demigod child of Aphrodite. He was killed in a car crash that, according to this book, was the result of a Hephaestus girl he'd cheated on getting even with him. • Annabeth designed a centaur sized bathroom for the Big House. (p33) • Even after The Last Olympian, Annabeth was still making fun of Clarisse for when she got drenched by the toilets in The Lightning Thief (p34) • While Rachel was becoming the oracle, Connor and Travis snuck into the attic to steal stuff. While there, Connor ended up taking the tongs he would later use to grab the napkin Annabeth sent him from Tartarus. (p43-46) • Sometime after Heroes of Olympus, Mythomagic made a "Duel Deity Dual" expansion pack, featuring holographic cards that switched from the featured god's Greek persona to their Roman one, and vice versa. (p51) • There's a Camp Half-Blood legend that a mortal pizza guy once made it through the camp's magical border (p73) • The reason the climbing wall has lava on it was because a centaur once threw a jar of greek fire at it, and it inspired Chiron to make the climbing wall even more dangerous (p76) • Canoe Lake itself was talking for days with the other water spirits about the percabeth underwater kiss. (p132)

For the past year year or so I was trying to get all the books that Rick Riordan wrote about mythology from what I could find they were about 33 of them (until the next book releases in September ) today the final one arrived in my mailbox and they’re all on the same bookshelf in my room now I’m on the first one in the Magnus Chase series, but I’m working my way through, and I am so incredibly happy 

[gatesofember]

this is so funny how does Ellis think that Will Solace is clever. Will went to Tartarus without a weapon. wearing shorts.

[foclora]

So in half-blood confidential, Will is described as being clever and quick and I'm betting that in TSATS he will be neither of those things

[bookwyrminspiration]

Quil I must ask, are you planning on reading chalice of the gods. Because you absolutely don’t have to but I swear it’s the absolute absurdist story ever approved for publishing

I am! I was actually planning on picking it up at the bookstore when we went a couple days ago, but alas. out of stock </3

But I'll get my hands on it one day! I know I could go to the library, but I'm on a bit of a library ban currently and it's not that urgent. I'm just trying to get caught up on the pjo unverse as it's been a while

I know nothing about chalice of the gods except that some people think the premise is ridiculous because percy saved the world several times already, and needing to go on quests to get into college is just a way to wring more out of this exhausted demigod for profit. and I hope to learn nothing else until I read it so I can be surprised :)
