The Wordaholics

I’ve been on a reading slump for so long as I had so many obligations and commitments that I had to take care of. April was a happy month for me, as my BEST FRIEND tied the knot with the man of her dreams (there aren’t enough emoticons to describe how I feel!). It was a big affair and as one might call- A BIG FAT INDIAN WEDDING. I had the time of my life and literally it got so hard for me to get out of that *wedding zone*.

All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus...
