Fiction:

Myth Retold: Iphigenia by Winter J. Kiakas: ★★★★✩ (cute!)

Heroes by Stehen Fry: ★★★✩✩ (too much whitewashing)

Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan: ★★★★✩

Bộ đồ bay điện của BMW lập kỷ lục thế giới

Vận động viên nhảy dù Peter Salzmann đoạt kỷ lục Guinness khi hoàn thành chuyến bay đầu tiên bằng bộ đồ bay điện.

[spiced-wine-fic]
