Seven Wonders: The Colossus Rises (#1) by  Peter Lerangis Get it  here BOOK SUMMARY: One Boy Jack McKinley is an ordinary kid with an extraordinary problem. In a few months, he’s going to die. One Mission Jack needs to find seven magic loculi that, when combined, have the power to cure him. One Problem The loculi are the relics of a lost civilization and haven’t been seen in thousands of years. Seven Wonders Because they’re hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.   BOOK REVIEW: 3 STARS I read this book a while ago, back in 2013. I didn't like it at that time, too confusing, too unclear. Everything happened so quickly and I didn't get time to process it. 5 years later, I decided to give it another chance. For those who likes the PJO series, the plot will seem familiar - young boy and his friends with a task to save the world, cliché of course, but nonetheless, a favourite. However, I won't be comparing to PJO much because it is an entirely different se...

The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault Get it  here BOOK SUMMARY: Bilodo lives a solitary daily life, routinely completing his postal rounds every day and returning to his empty Montreal apartment. But he has found a way to break the cycle—Bilodo has taken to stealing people's mail, steaming open the envelopes, and reading the letters inside. And so it is he comes across Ségolène's letters. She is corresponding with Gaston, a master poet, and their letters are each composed of only three lines. They are writing each other haikus. The simplicity and elegance of their poems move Bilado and he begins to fall in love with her. But one day, out on his round, he witnesses a terrible and tragic accident. Just as Gaston is walking up to the post-box to mail his next haiku to Ségolène, he is hit by a car and dies on the side of the road. And so Bilodo makes an extraordinary decision—he will impersonate Gaston and continue to write to Ségolène under this guise....

The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle by  Rick Riordan Get it  here BOOK SUMMARY:  How do you punish an immortal? By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour. But Apollo has many enemies—gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go... an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood. BOOK REVIEW: 5 STARS If I were to be honest, I thought I'd hate this book. Apollo was a selfish god, proud and narcissistic. He was easily my least favourite amongst the 12 Olympians. Losing his powers and becoming a mortal, Apollo now undertakes the identity of Lester Papadopol...

A blog. Because everyone needs somewhere to store their ideas and opinions.  Hello there (if by chance, there would be anyone who'd be reading this) . This an online brain dump page where I'll store all my ideas, thoughts and basically anything that I'd like to do.  As an only child who has issues expressing certain thoughts and opinions, sharing interests and basically finding it difficult to unleash my creativity, a blog would probably be a safe space to do so.  As of now, I don't have any solid idea about what I'd be posting here. Potentially book reviews, gushing about certain movies and characters, writing stories - just things that I enjoy that could probably find a home here.  Currently, I post book reviews on  Goodreads . However, I'd prefer a home for my reviews, which would probably be here on my blog! I'll be posting some of my old book reviews here to get a foundation started for this new blog, it will be interesting, I su...
