I have a plan to help me with my Christmas List, Me and my dad renewed his library card (although he forgot to renew mine), and i'm planning to pick some books out from the local public library. Specifically, I'm mostly going for the Rick Riordan Presents books, and Rick Riordan's novel Daughter of the Deep. Then I'll skim them and see if they seem to be up my alley. If they are, I'll add them to my Christmas list. If not, then I guess at least I'll know they're not for me? Either way, I'm pretty much all set for books on my Christmas List now. All I might want to pad my list out with is video games and dvds, now. So I just need to think of some of those now. sigh...

In doing this, I also realized my public libraries website has changed a lot over the years. The last time I used it was probably five years ago. And wow, it's really changed a lot over the years. It looks nice, but it certainly felt harder to navigate than the old website. Maybe that's just the nostalgia and reminisce talking, but it's true. It felt harder to navigate, so let's just hope I actually did put all the books on hold.

This post got no attention whatsoever yesterday. Zero notes. And since this whole christmas list thing is mildly important to me, and plus the fact that i'm frequently the type of person who seems to need validation that i'm being heard, to the point where I always get paranoid my dad isn't paying attention to me, i'm just going to reblog this again. And probably keep reblogging it until it gets at least one note.

i am once again bragging about my extended rick riordan collection

[dreamriordanverseunboxings]

General mystery items/collections ideas for my dream Riordanverse unboxings

Weapons

Pins (and an armory themed pinboard or hanging)

Charms to go along with their hiding place (like a charm at the end of a pen for riptide or on a rune pendant for Jack/Sumarbrandr or on a bracelet for Serwa’s blade)

Stickers (and an armory themed sticker book)

Pens

Gods

Playing cards - 14 god cards for each pantheon to correspond with 2-10, J, Q, K, A and a joker/trickster card. And ideally similar gods would be in similar places, so Zeus and Odin might both be kings. Collecting four pantheons would allow you to play any regular 1 deck card game, but maybe having pantheons from similar areas (Greece and Rome, Mayan and Native American, Egyptian and Ghanaian, etc) be the same color would allow for mixing and matching or games where two decks are used, like five crowns. Or could play games like UNO. I once made a game like this for a camp I taught, so this one is close to my heart.

Trading cards with stats for a mythomagic type game across the pantheons

Pins (characters, or cabin sets representing each, or chariot or car, or train car representing them and their power)

Stationary set with quotes

Themed socks (this might be the part of me that wanted to make sock monkeys for each camp halfblood cabin)

Dice sets (Artemis dice on tic tok was doing a Norse mythology one as I was reading Magnus Chase)

Monsters/Enemies

Lenticular cards (many of them morph somehow with the mist)

Trading cards with stats for a mythomagic type game across the pantheons

Stickers! Or magnets/pins.

Tshirts of locations they work (monster donut!)

Plushies

Replicas

Coins (golden drachma, Mayan death/jaguar coin, etc)

Quest items

Prints

Blueprints of important locations

Maps

Family photos/friend or quest group photos in family portrait mode

‘Photos’ from locations or moments between combat

Menus from food places

Report cards or detention slips

Wanted posters

Scrapbook pages (to go with the prints, make your own demigod scrapbook - my inner middle schooler would have gone nuts to use this as a way to do a book reports - note to self, reading notebooks with book report type prompts!)

Lists of chapter titles

Demigods

Wanted poster pins or sticker sets

Pins with themes

Stickers with themes (I saw an awesome sticker set that had what each quest member had packed for a quest)

Famous quotes on bookmarks

Famous quotes as stickers

Detention slip notepads

Their own playing cards or trading cards with stats

Camps/training locations

Tshirts (beyond the usual camp halfblood/Jupiter, I also enjoy seeing the ones like Delphi strawberry farms!)

Lanyards

Maps

Other wearables, like backpacks/hats

Beads for a growing beaded necklace collection

Important locations/realms

Stickers and a 9-realms passport sticker book!

Fairy doors

Keys

Potions or potion ingredients

Runes as stickers (decorated with their meaning somehow)

Puzzles

Mugs or cups

Jueza no encuentra causa contra policías acusados de matar adolescente en 2022

Después los policías y los jueces se molestan cuando la gente no los respetan. Ni los jóvenes ni las mujeres están seguros en Puerto Rico.

Ya ese caso se le veía la costura, ayer lo iban a radicar, hoy están todo el día dándole la vuelta al caso, la jueza llega tarde y cataplán por la noche vine el toallaso, justicia de compadres azules, porque esos son los que votan PNP.

Me avergüenza mi país.😳🙄😔 La justicia es una mierda. 💩💩

No olviden estos nombres:

“Los policías fueron identificados como Giovanny Santiago Avilés, Roseanne Ruiz Cisneros, Félix Ahmed De Jesús Abreu, Luis Enrique Vélez Mari, Kelvin Omar Meléndez Monsegur y Paola M. Farías Santiago”

Nombre de los agentes 👇🏻

Paola del Zoppo schreibt in dieser profunden Rezension zur italienischen Ausgabe meines Romans DIE NACHT WAR BLEICH, DIE LICHTER BLINKTEN:

Risolto il caso, la storia sembra non volersi concludere, perché il romanzo deve andare oltre. La sua fine è il suo principio. Roberta e Lennard, separate rappresentazioni dei due Deckard che conosciamo, ritrovano un’unità in una possibilità di affetto che è anche una mise en abyme del percorso della scrittura e della lettura. Il messaggio finale, profondamente umano, è racchiuso in una storia che appare pessimista ma è invece un invito a riconoscere ciò che è reale e che conta e ciò che ci definisce, che è veramente importante e può salvarci se ci perdiamo nella ricerca di una felicità indotta. Anche per questo, il romanzo di Braslavsky arriva a essere un’utopia, se i lettori sono disposti a riconoscere che gli umani potrebbero non essere il centro dell’esistenza, anzi, che sono completamente sostituibili e che forse gli androidi non sognano più pecore elettriche ma giochi di parole e filosofie pseudo-paradossali.

Grazie!

What I Read in February 2023

another surreal romp and hijinks

most excellent, the characters felt real, neither utter paragons nor the #worst the plot was interesting. 

Cute, but I admit I’d have liked to see the boys parents actually react to meeting both of them and the ending felt a bit rushed.

Come on Erza!

Also kitty Natsu 🤣

Awww, all the kids are adorable and it looks like they’ll be offering healing to our main girl.

“the way of the true pot”

I did feel sorry for Paola for distancing herself from one friend and another doing the distancing (then ouch with Dante). I did like the story but am uncertain what was wrong with her moms boyfriend besides her mom moving things a bit fast for Paola and then the guy just being dropped at the end of the book for reasons. 

Diving back into FMA

Finished ^_^

here we go again ^_^

I don’t think marriages should be that easy. 

really enjoyable, though the “solution” for demon and boy felt a bit abrupt. 

Richard suffers so 😂😊also the gem stuff always has me looking things up. ^_^

finally got volume 5 so I could read 6-8 ^_^

started good, then it got kinda slow, but the pace quickened again and I really enjoyed the book.

this series is  a lot of fun

To pad more space on my Christmas list, let me ask something. Which of the Rick Riordan Presents books do you most recommend? Because I already own a bunch of them, but I haven't gotten around to reading them. And discounting the fact that COVID stopped my reading and that it means I already have like 10 books I've never read before cluttering up space, I still want to pad out my Christmas List. So, please tell me which of the books you most recommend, especially for someone like me (who likes comedy, mythology, middle grade fiction, and hates scary stuff). This might help me begin finally wrapping up the books portion of my Christmas list.

Thoughts: 

Emily Wilde II didn't disappoint, but Mislaid in Parts Half Known did. I was really hoping we'd be immersed in a world of dinosaurs similar to Across the Green Grass Fields, but we spent such little time there.

The non-fiction reads this month really outshone the fiction reads. I especially enjoyed Betty Gilpin's All the Women in My Brain. It was weird and wonderful.
