rereading all the Rick Riordan books and im at the heroes of Olympus and truly the way this man can have 7 distinct narrative voices for teenagers that dont feel dumb and tropey is so good- not even to mention all the fun of modern mythology vibes. Who let me have fun?

Even though the first series is kind of flawed until The Titanâs Curse it still holds up really well. Heroes of Olympus was just as great as I remembered it and now Iâm getting to read Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and the Trials of Apollo for the first time, both of which are fantastic series. Iâm halfway through The Tyrantâs Tomb for Trials of Apollo and I love how each book has featured different returning main characters from PJO and HOO in each book alongside the two recurring main characters, Apollo and Meg McCaffrey who might be my favorite characters of all the books. Also, Rick Riordan has started to write a second pentatology for the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series that Iâm really stoked to start after I finish Trials of Apollo.

1) Warrior Cats
I know this probably reveals a lot of things about me but these cats are part of my soul at this point. They were the first books that really got me into reading (even though objectively they are not that good), but I just loved the cats killing each other! It helped that I related so heavily to many of the characters.
2) Percy Jackson
Read the whole series, loved it! I was (still am) hugely into mythology so it was kind of the perfect storm. Nico was my favorite and the character I related to the most, and it was nice to have representation when I was younger.

Reading should be ENJOYABLE and sometimes that means flying through 400 pages of a YA fantasy book you loved when you were 8

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, âought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighborâs statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.â
This is very Hanlonâs razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
