    Love the nostalgia for Percy Jackson! My husband is constantly rereading them and it is a middle grade story that has stood the test of time!

    Listening to you talk about the Percy Jackson series makes me want to go back and reread them in the future. I'd always heard so much good things about Riordan's works following that series, but I didn't really read many of them outside of a few here and there

    I read the Monk and Robot duology in May as well, absolutely LOVED it. Immediately became one of my favorite books/series

    Hi! I'm commenting on this old AF video because I watch UA-cam in bursts, and catch up on everything I missed. I'm really glad you loved A Desolation Called Peace and also Baru Cormorant, because they are some of my favorites and I feel like no one talks about them on booktube! I can't wait to see what Arkady Martine does next!

    I just finished rereading Percy Jackson too! And it was a fun and refreshing read because I forgot most of the stories already, yet I still enjoyed them. 🧡

      What did you think of Kafka on the Shore? I've tried reading it a couple times but can never get farther than 20-30 pages before losing interest.

    Never read Percy Jackson as a kid but I remember the Logan Lerman movies. Only now hearing the movies changed a lot from the books. With the Disney+ series coming is it worth checking out the books first?

      @@mglarson5936 when I was a kid thought the movies were fine and then couple years back I saw videos saying that Rick Riordan himself didn’t like the movie adaptations for how many changes they made, and that made me sad for him 😢 Apparently the Disney+ series is supposedly more faithful to the source material, so great that it’s getting a 2nd chance and hopefully the books will be having a reinassance too!

    I read the newest Percy Jackson book, the Sun & the Star, featuring Will and Nico this month. I also read 5 other books this month: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation vol 5, Night Angel Nemesis, Bastion, Husky & His White Cat Shizun vol 2, Remnants of Filth vol 1, and Heaven's Official Blessing vol 6. All but Bastion were 5 star reads for me.

    I finally read my first Brandon Sanderson - The Final Empire - and loved it! I’ve been so scared to approach his books but the audio book was fantastic. Also read Swordheart by T. Kingfisher, which I think you would love if you haven’t read it!
