WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words and was formerly hosted by A Daily Rhythm. It is open for anyone to participate, even without a blog you can comment on Sam’s post with your own answers. It is a great way to share what you’ve been reading! All you have to do is answer three questions and share a link to your blog in the comments section of Sam’s blog.
The three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
What are you currently reading?
“I have ceased concerning myself with how things look to others, Abigail Rook. I suggest you do the same. In my experience, others are generally wrong.”
Jackaby (Jackaby #1) by William Ritter. I’m only about 100 pages in but so far this has been a pretty good book. It feels a little mentally weighty at times, if that makes sense to you, so I need to not be drowsy while I’m reading it or I’ll miss some important details. I’ll be upfront, this book certainly wouldn’t be for everyone, but so far I am entertained.
What did you recently finish reading?
“I try not to think. It interferes with being nuts -Leo Valdez”
The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan. Of Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus series, this one is pretty much my least favorite. I think this is the first time I have reread it since it was initially released back in 2012. A lot of this book is from Annabeth’s perspective and I find her pretty dull. Not a lot of entertainment factor outside of her fear of spiders, which I can understand.
What do you think you’ll read next?
“But magic is neither good nor evil. It is a tool, like a knife. Is a knife evil? Only if the wielder is evil.”
The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus #4) by Rick Riordan. So my Rick Riordan kick continues with a slight interruption with Jackaby. This is one of the strongest books in the Heroes of Olympus series so I’m looking forward to reading it again. Not to mention we get a little bit more information and insight on Nico who is one of my favorite characters in the series.
What are you reading?
I am curious about Jackaby and love the cover.

These covers are awesome! Jackaby is one that makes me look and study the images, so I’m curious about the story. Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY WWW POST

I’ve always wanted to read the Heroes of Olympus books. Maybe I’ll get to them one day when I have more time! Here’s my WWW Post

You read Rick Riordan’s books too. I feel so happy. You’re a kindred spirit. I’ve read all his novels. However, I think the Apollo books are really pushing it. I don’t think Annabeth is boring though. Jason and his crew(except Leo of course😏) seem to be the boring ones too me. What do you feel?

I adore Leo. He is definitely my favorite. But Annabeth, Jason, and Piper annoy me to absolutely no end. I understand their purpose in the story and how their personalities lend to furthering the plot but I just want to throw them all into the sea while Percy is tied up and leave them to be devoured by sea monsters. I haven’t read his Apollo books yet. I do love The Kane Chronicles, though.

Leo is my favourite too. He’s even more humorous than Percy. Rick Riordan managed to show a bit of his humour through Leo. Jason and Piper annoy me too. They’re soo boring. However, I haven’t felt such anger towards them😂😂😂😂. Annabeth is okay to me. As a nerd, I like her a lot. I also LOVE the Kane Chronicles with all my heart. The Apollo books are okay but they’re a stretch.

Have you read the Magnus Chase books? I only read the first one. Wasn’t terribly impressed but considering picking up the rest.

Yes. I have. I’ve read the first two. The first was okay. The second was “😩😔” It seems only the Kane Chronicles can compare to the Percy Jackson books.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Jackaby series, but I still can’t decide if I want to read it or not, haha. Maybe I’ll see if my library has it so I don’t have to risk spending money on a book I may or may not like 😛

I got it from the library because I wasn’t sure myself. I’ve read a little further in the book and, while it is enjoyable, I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it.

That’s good to know! Seems like it’ll definitely be a library book for me if I decide to check it out, then.
