JUNE WRAP UP- 1

Image
June was a very good reading month for me as I had been piling up books since a frigging YEAR to read. I admit that I'm a book hoarder but a proud one!

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...
