Hey everyone!
It's almost the end of September and you know what that means... House of Hades! I cannot believe we're almost there! Anyways, here are some points I'm excited to see. Keep in mind that these may not happen, but since I read Mark of Athena, I have had a few ideas in mind. This will contain spoilers for the Heroes of Olympus series. If you haven't read them, let me say that you have to, for your own awesome.

Novellas
Hey everyone!
Today I'm talking about novellas in general, nothing specific. For those who don't know, novellas are not long enough to be a book, but too long to be a short story. Most of the times (maybe even all of the times) novellas are small parts of the main series. For instance, Destroy Me by Taherah Mafi is book 1.5. It's not essential to understand the main series's plot or characters, but it does improve your understanding. Others novellas are mini stories that it different from the main plot line of the series or happens in between series if there's a spin off or addition. A good example of this is the PJO/HOO series. Rick Riordan has written the Demigod Files and The Demigod Diaries which include a set of stories in them that don't have anything to do with the main plot focus of the series. Many series have novellas, here are a few listed.

Something About September
Hey everyone!
Today I wanted to do a more of a rambling post. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and wanted to share it with fellow readers. There's something about September for me that makes reading special. The weather is perfect (most of the time) for where I am. It's chilly, but not freezing. You can just sit outside and be comfortable. The leaves start to change and the sun is perfectly put to enjoy your day. There's just something about September that makes me want to read outside or in an imaginary place or somewhere so pretty and woodsy. Is this just me? Haha, sorry for this weirder post, but it was something I was just thinking about and wanted to share. Thanks for reading, Kait
