My favorite part of the series is that it brings up a lot of important issues. Like Percy literally telling the Gods “ur shit parents, fix it” and then later having cabins for all the minor Gods so that not everyone is stuck in Hermes cabin and they can be claimed by their Godly parent. Percy actually looks for ways to fix things and even though he makes mistakes, like not making sure Calypso gets off the island (which I can’t even really fault him for bc right after the last Olympian he loses his memory and stuff bc of Hera💀), and this is what makes me like this series, and all of ricks books, better than Harry Potter. Bc harry literally becomes part of the system, basically a wizard cop, and we never see any change in the HP books regarding how muggles, half-bloods, and house elves are treated. But Percy literally turns down immortality, and doesn’t want to be a part of the issue hes trying to fix.

I've never read the Percy Jackson books but I'm genuinely so tempted to go and read them all for the first time as an adult now.

Percy Jackson is literally my life line

i remember rereading the percy jackson series in 4 days too - during the pandemic. it gave me all the warmth i needed too!

Yess!! I've been reading the Riordan Presents books this spring while I go through a tough time. Middle grade/YA with the heart and passion and learning about different cultures is too good!!

I just re-read this series last year! I love hearing people talk about it because I feel like it flys under the radar. Hopefully it gains momentum with the younger kids agin since the HBO show is coming out soon. I’m also so excited for percy and the chalice of the gods that is the OG 3 back together again.

We all need to keep our inner child alive. Don't forget, a new Percy Jackson universe book is out! The Sun & the Sat, about Will and Nico! I can't wait to read it!

[itsjinelle]

ahh so glad to see you read this series, it's one of my favorites!!

[meaghancole]

If you haven’t read Fourth Wing yet you should! I just pleasantly surprised by it. Probably the most entertaining well rounded book I’ve read this year.

Loved this video!! I am finishing the Heroes of Olympus Series at the moment! So I am prepared for the two new books and the series coming out next year. I am super hyped for The Sun and The Star! How is everyone feeling about this new tv series?

I love Moomins ❤️ I was introduced to them when I was studying in the UK and met my new bestie, who’s half-Finnish and has a huge Moomin mug collection, books, and all sorts of memorabilia. And now, almost twenty years later, Moomins are intertwined with so many good memories of friendships and travels.

I was too old when PJ first came out and busy with grad school, but your vlog has bumped the series up on my TBR. My little sibling did read and love the series when they were little, so it will be fun to chat once I’ve read them ❤️

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VLOG!!!! I love PJO so much and rereading it was such a good decision. I’d recommend rereading Heroes of Olympus too, weirdly it was the book series i had forgotten the most!

[catherinesharkey]

I literally finished the newest book, The Sun and The Star this morning. I have spent the past year and a half rereading all the Riordan universe. The greatest choice ever!

[crystalpritchard]

I also started re-reading Percy Jackson a week ago. I’m done the first 3 books so far but taking a break to read Six of Crows after getting obsessed with the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix

[marsfire]

Excellent time to reread with book 6, Chalice of the Gods, coming out in September 🥰

[whimsichloe]

this series is my partner’s childhood favorite and i am currently on the last book of the heroes of Olympus after reading them for the first time. genuinely, this has been my favorite series to read and it has grabbed and moved me in SO MANY ways. i will never not recommend these books.

[paperback_cat]

Yay Moomins! When I was little my mum had a Swedish pen friend who sent us gifts and often Moomin stuff included in those. I'm glad to see them around again 💕

[elyoni]

Moomins! ❤ I'm from Finland like the author of the original Moomin books Tove Jansson who was real artist, feminist and a queer icon. I'm so happy to see Moomins featured here so suprisingly.

[suzannemoore]

I'm so glad that you really enjoyed the books again!
