The Trials of Apollo-The Hidden Oracle 

The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo Book 1) eBook: Riordan ...



          Another amazing book by Rick Riordan is out! Another mystery, another adventure but also another character. This time the lord of plague, medicine, archery, music, and poem has come to the mortal world himself. Apollo has been punished by Zeus and now has to undergo a bunch of trials to prove himself to become an Olympian again. This book is a little different from what the Percy Jackson fans have always been reading but no less adventurous. Rick's humor is the same as always! You never know how the next sentence is going to tickle your funny bone.

          I started Percy Jackson when I was in 6th grade. I became an instant fan. It's actually really hard to meet a person who has read a Percy Jackson and not liked it. I personally have never met such a person. Rick's work is amazing and mostly a hit (yes, he is capable of writing shit too). The Kane Chronicles were great too... not the same kind of humor... but definitely a fun read. However, I have no idea what he was thinking writing the Magnus Chase. I mean that book sucks! He failed to get me hooked and I just couldn't continue it. I guess not all stories are success stories.

          Anyways, getting back to The Trials of Apollo, it is worth a read for any Percy fans. Of course, Percy was love but really this book is not that bad (it could have been worse). There is a guest appearance of him in the beginning and the end. He also saves the day but we are now stuck in Apollo's mind. Apollo is high headed and a little annoying... okay who am I kidding... very annoying. The guy clearly needs to get his priorities sorted. A lot of character development is seen in him (which was very much needed and even more appreciated). But that didn't mean he stopped being a dick! He excels in that. You have seen a glimpse of his personality in previous books, so, this shouldn't be a surprise. Also, look at the author's name bro. 

          One of the things that I personally feel really excited about is having Leo back! That guy is just plain funny and attractive with irresistible charm. Honestly, who needs any more of a reason to read this book!

Rating 4/5 (simply because Apollo is not Percy)

    😯😯😯I thought I'm reading a blog by a professional and experienced blogger.
    I don't have any idea about this author's books, so I can't say much, but the way you've written it is really really good. I personally liked it very much.
    The little humour you've tried to add here and there just garnished the write up!
    Keep blogging :)
    Would love to read more.

Deciphering With Astha Dhal (Podcast)

  Deciphering with Astha Dhal           I hate it. I absolutely despise it. How could he do this to me? I knew I should have kept my distance. What is wrong with me? I shouldn't have opened up myself. She is truly awful. That was no way of speaking! Doesn't she get it? I should not have shared it. I should've kept it to myself. Something is wrong with me. I can't breathe. I want to let go. I want to die.               Today the teenagers deal with problems way different from what the Millenials dealt with. It is important to know that you are not alone. When people say, "look they have a bigger problem than you, so shut up..." I personally want to punch those people. Everyone is going through something. A teenager's problem is way different from an adult's. Deciphering with Astha Dhal is a podcast by Astha Dhal deciphering the life of a teenager.           The calm and serene voice of Astha leads us to into her soul. She takes us through the heart and

Brooklyn Nine Nine! (Series)

Brooklyn Nine Nine!           An American comedy show with multiple main characters mostly consisting of latin origin. A toit show that fearlessly promotes homosexuality , african american leadership and shows the reality of the lazy, fat ass and stupid Americans (Reminds me very much of Trump). An action packed hilarious show that you simply can't help plunging into (Title of your sex tape). Each and every character is amazing in its own way and adds to the beauty of the show. Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago relationship summed up:   Gina linetti summed up:   Rosa Diaz (Rosa Rosa Rosa.....Doug Judy's love):    Second picture of Diaz is the most relatable for me.... Hitchcock and Scully- The kick ass, fat ass, all you can possibly eat duo. They are good at heart.               Terry loves yogurt. Handsome, muscular and soft hearted Terry is the guy you just fall in love with... Chales Boyle (sweet, nice, sugar.... I really don't know what else to say...)                 Cap

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (Series)

  Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story The 1992 Scam saw the Indian market collapse completely as the stock prices dropped dramatically, whipping out over Rs. 1 lakh crore in market capitalization. Over 70 criminal cases and 600 civil cases were filed against Harshad Mehta and his family.           In order to truly understand this scam, it is of utmost importance to understand how the stock market and money market function. A scam of this stature isn't possible for a single person to commit. It occurs through collective engagement and collaboration. Thus, to blame Harshad Mehta as the only accused is fallacious. Hence, this dishonest series of events is known as The Scam 1992 rather than The Harshad Mehta Scam . What is the stock market and the money market?           In a stock market, investors own shares in companies. Companies have earnings. The price-to-earning ratio should tell us what's the proper level for the stock price. Companies do everything they can to increase ea

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Book)

The Picture of Dorian Gray              A beautiful book written by Oscar Wilde. Being a literary classic, it consists of an old version of English but an amusing read nonetheless. There are certain times when the reader may fail to connect or the story may seem to be dragging on but the wisdom imparted is unique. The book is filled with quotations that will make you ponder and question the philosophical ideas about a person's true nature. How is our action influenced by our thoughts? Who influences our thoughts? What is the corruption of the soul? When do we decide to change ourself? Do we realize when we change? And many more questions are explored in this calm and serene read...           Dorian Gray, once an innocent young man, untouched by the cruelty of the world and living a peaceful life undergoes a grave personality change. Ideally, the protagonist develops overtime. The persona is beautified, the character attains maturity and the success is within the reach. However
