ummm sorry I'm not sure if I understood your question fully...but are you like asking why I liked the reunion?? xD If so I guess I just liked how Thalia, being so assertive and having her walls up being emotional :') I really like Thalia, so it was great seeing her being happy!

As you said, makes it more fun and understandable. Even tho I love educating myself about the Greek culture from what they teach us in school and do research on my own.
I would love to learn more about Hindu mythology - I suppose there is a lot to unpack! :D

Johanna, you're fast! Way farther than me! And I think we should be finishing off tomorrow...:D
☽ alexandra ☾ wrote: "Also [spoilers removed]"yesss the way he incorporates both is so well thought out! and just you wait it gets better! ;)
☽ alexandra ☾ wrote: "Johanna, you're fast! Way farther than me! And I think we should be finishing off tomorrow...:D"agreed!!! Johanna you are a quick reader!!! I'm impressed!!! like how do you do it??
and yup! we're suppose to finish tmr! I'm at ch.47 so I think I can make it!
also the way coach calls them "cupcakes" makes me laugh all the time! I saw this funny meme on IG about it and all the time I read that part it makes me think of it! xD

I like that this has funny comments/sentences here and there; they make me atleast smile if not laugh. And this is interesting with new characters: someone should betray others, they have different pasts and someone doesn't remember anything. The adventure is also with lot of action, you get never bored. This is nice light read middle of darker books ^_^ And I loved how they thought in some phase that they have more responsibility because they have supernatural powers. And that's the reason why they can't be home and live normal life.

And oh yes, coach is so fun characters. I laughed how they had fight scene and coach was there laying on the ground, bottom up & furry withouth trousers, haha. Or how he didn't help with Midas but came in after fighting was over mouth full of grass... Or how he came to others after he had eaten when they were meeting that wind god and there was also grass as a "platform" and he wanted to eat that as well, haha.

hahahah right??? the coach is taking the easy way out xD I forgot how funny he was the first time I read it! and I would love to see an interaction between him and Grover <3 that would be everything!
I'll try and put the meme in if I can!
Johanna wrote: "Finished[spoilers removed]"
right?!? sooo this is my second time reading, but I clearly remember the first time reading it I was my jaw dropped!!! and I had to reserve the second one (I borrowed them from the library :P)
however even if I knew what would happen the ending still always gets to me :')

That's okay, happens to me sometimes too. Not everyone can enjoy everything, so I totally understand. As Johanna said - you were not bad at all -actually quite the opposite! ♥

What about Friday? If it isn't too late...I have some exams coming on Thursday, so it would be better for me to begin the book after that.
How do you see it, guys? :))
Johanna wrote: "I'm fine with Friday :)"Great then, we'll see what Joyce says! <3

no need to apologize! <3 I totally get it!

Hi everyone!! :) are we still good to start??
Heyy, guys! I started yesterday, but totally forgot to text here *facepalm*Anyways- I have some bad news. I got into a reading slump, so my reading progress might be slower from now on. I don't know...Maybe it will get magically cured in a few days, or perhaps in a week. I really don't know, we'll see.
However, I'll try to do my best to keep up!
So I'm currently at chapter number ten. What about you? And would you like to keep the same reading schedule as the last time? So 7 chapters? It has 52 chapters in total.
I haven't actually started yet xD I'm fine with chapters 7 / day. I'll catch up tomorrow if I don't start today.
