I own book 1 of Kane Chronicles but I have the trilogy for Magnus Chase but I'm not sure what to read next. I'm taking a break from the PJ series while I wait for the normal size paperback of book 7 and before I read Sun and Star as I found Trials of Apollo a bit harder to get through than the rest of the books and don't want to delve in too far too quick, hence the change to Norse or Egyptian mythology. Any advice would be great š

I've read books with both longer chapters and shorter ones and depending on the book and plot I'd say they fit... but, longer chapters feel intimidating. I feel like I can read multiple shorter chapters alot faster than the longer ones, even if they total up to the same number of pages. (For example: chapters 1-5 = 30 pages as opposed to chapter 1 = 30 pages) Does anyone else feel like that? Do you prefer longer chapters or shorter ones?

From Greco-Roman to Egyptian to Norse mythology, these Gods just can't stop meddling in our modern day world.

When the book makes a reference to the previous book the author wrote, but you haven't read that one yet and you didn't realize there was going to be a plot point about that. š

Not Nothing Overall Rating: ā ā ā .5 (3.5/5) or 7.00/10 overall Characters - 6 Atmosphere - 7 Writing - 8 Plot - 7 Intrigue - 8 Logic - 6 Enjoyment - 7 Overall Rating: First off, if you want to read this book please read Frankie & Bug first! It's not absolutely necessary since it's not part of a series but some of the characters do come back and it makes it a lot cooler and more understandable if you've read that previously. Although they have very different narrative/writing styles, I enjoyed them about the same. I don't really have any other big thoughts about this book otherwise.

Frankie & Bug Overall Rating: ā ā ā .5 (3.5/5) or 7.00/10 overall Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 7 Plot - 7 Intrigue - 7 Logic - 6 Enjoyment - 7 Overall Thoughts: I'll admit that Bug did annoy me at times, but she did so in a way that was authentically childlike so I'm not super bugged about that. š Some of the language in this book is a bit outdated. I'm not sure if that was a stylistic choice given that it was set in 1987 or not. That's my assumption, but it was still jarring to hear. I think the author could've gone about that a little better if that was her intention though. :/

I just did this on Instagram with physical books, but I thought it might be fun to see what others can come up with! These are all books I physically own because I wanted to take a picture, but I'd say it counts digitally if a book is one you've read or is on your TBR whether you own the book or not! Here's mine, I regretted the long username a little. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find enough E's lol. (now my goal is to read them all this year, luckily I have a good start).

For the 5 books in the āMy Tasteā section on your profile, how did you pick them? Are they all 5-star reads, personal favorites, books that give off your general reading vibe, or do they all just scream "me"? Iām always curious how people approach it. Mine are all 5-star reads that kind of reflect my reading vibe, even if they donāt totally scream āme.ā
