The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan

Given that Percy Jackson and the Olympians is currently on @disneyplus (thank the Gods they decided to make a show!), I thought I would review Uncle Rick's work on my page. The next few posts are dedicated to our heroes!

This series is on an entirely different level, but in a nice way. When you read the first book in the series, The Lost Hero, believe me, because I did the same, you will stop reading. There's no Percy's POV. It's some random kids and a new satyr and you're bound to wonder, what this is and to shut the book close. BUT, Uncle Rick has an incredible surprise in store for us and we do return to Camp Half blood to find newer Gods and Goddesses and their demigod children.

The incredible way in which Rick Riordan has blended the Greek and Roman worlds, the challenges, the secrets that can destroy demigods and Gods, the incredible valour, strength and sacrifice that every hero possesses and the friendship forged through trials is incomparable. These books have been an escape for me in some tough times and I cannot speak highly enough about them. The characters stay with you. They're lovable, relatable and oh so admirable.

These are young adult fiction but that's debatable, I mean, I've read these books at least 10 times so far. If not for nothing, read it to expand your list of Roman and Greek Gods and Goddesses. Actually, no. Read it for the Heroes. Read it for the strength you will feel emanating from these books.

I give it a 5/5. Read away!

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

Oh how I love Agatha Christie! She remains one of my favourite author of all time. This novel right here, I have read it at least eight times, at last count, and I continue to read it despite knowing the case inside out. The village of King’s Abbot is stunned when widow Ferrars dies from an overdose of Veronal. Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd—the man she had planned to marry—is murdered. It is a confusing case that taxes Hercule Poirot’s 'little grey cells' before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his career. Hercule Poirot is my favourite fictional Detective. I have read heaps of Crime thrillers with memorable detectives, but Monsieur Poirot is unmatched. The way his little grey cells work, it puts most of us to shame because we barely use even 10% of what's given to us. This novel reads extremely well. There are clues scattered in the details, but only one of Poirot's calibre can see them and make sense of them. It's a clas

Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling

This has to be the first entry on my bookstagram page. I have never been able to fully explain to anyone what it is about Harry Potter and why I still read it, cherish it and love it even 20 years after having read it for the first time. Maybe it's the fact that I read the Philosophers Stone when I was being bullied in school and I had practically no friends and no support. Therefore, reading about the boy who lived under the stairs who had hope and was rescued and admired and found inseparable friends, sparked a fire in my heart. The entire series taught me so much about bravery, loyalty, friendship, family, choices and facing life. It still feels like a warm hug, like a friend speaking to me from far and telling me everything will be alright. I have gone on to read sooooooo many more books (hoarding many too) but I always, always read the Harry Potter series every quarter. No book is perfect and neither is this series but read it for an escape. To enter the world of m
