The Silvered Serpents, by Roshani Chokshi, is a truly terrifying book. It is a reminder that books have the power to tear us apart inside, to break our hearts into a million pieces. It is also a reminder that books have the power to make us feel warm and happy, to give us characters that we can’t help but feel the need to protect.
All in all, The Silvered Serpents, by Roshani Chokshi is a masterpiece.

Reading is a magical thing. And sometimes it feels like the most difficult thing to just make other people understand that. So I put together a list of a few reasons to remind your friends, acquaintances, and random people you pass on the street of why they should read.
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly discussion post created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Rukky and Dani @ A Literary Lion! This week’s topic is: How To Encourage Others To Read (suggested by Rian @ Dogs and Books)

So… for the last few days, there has been a lot of smoke where I live. And by a lot, I mean that you can’t go outside for long because it’s hard to breath, and you can barely see two blocks down the street. All the smoke is from the wildfires that are all over Oregon (and the west coast) and although it’s very unlikely I’d have to evacuate because I’m in the middle of a city, we might lose power and/or our water.
On that happy note, I’m onto the first WWW Wednesday that I’ve done in a while! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions about my the books I’ve read, finished reading and want to read next:

Hey! I was tagged for this by Julie @ One Book More, so thank you so much Julie, and I’m going to go right into this tag!
Also, I have never been to a book festival or fair or anything other than the scholastic book fair that came to my elementary school. So have fun reading about me floundering to understand these book festival terms.

Hello! My name is Aria, I haven’t posted in almost 2 weeks, and I’m kind of in a blogging slump. But I want to get this post out before it’s October, so here I am.
September is here, and has actually been here for a while. I sort of popped off the blogosphere for a week and a half, because I was gone, and then I came back but I had some stuff going on, and I had no motivation to write.
But here is what I did in September, in all its bookish and non-bookish splendor.

Hello! I finished reading Cinderella is Dead a few weeks ago, but it took me a while to write this review. I really loved it though, and I think that it is a wonderful book.
Also, I’m on a camping trip and won’t have wifi and stuff, so I won’t be able to respond to comments until Wednesday or or Thursday.
Anyways, without further ado, here is my review of Cinderella is Dead, by Kalynn Bayron.

I recently read Brandy Colbert’s most recent novel, The Voting Booth, and I loved it. Little and Lion was even better, and is one of my favorite books that I’ve read all year. Here is my review for this wonderful novel.

Two months ago Kay @ Hammock of Books did a post with her thoughts on the Percy Jackson movie. It was so hilarious, and brought back memories of the first time I watched the movie. I didn’t watch it when it first came out, since I was four, but I did watch it a few years ago, when I was eleven or twelve, I think.
So, I thought, why not do a similar thing? So I did, even if it took me a really long time. I watched the movie and wrote down my thoughts on it as I was watching it. That’s what I have below.
Since I don’t want it to be a completely negative post, I’m also going to include a few reasons why I like the Lightning Thief musical, which I was also able to see, and some of my favorite parts from the book itself.
The thing is, The Lightning Thief started as a book, and now it’s more than that. Not that it’s become a musical, movie, and is soon to be a show, but now, it’s a universe. Everything that Rick Riordan has written is so much more than a few stories, and it all started with this one book.
So, I’m going to be going through the different ways that the original book has been told, and share my thoughts!
