By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy.

August TBR!

If you read my last post, you'll see that I did very well for my reading in July! 9 book read! I have now read 54 books for the year. My goal is 60 books - which I know I'll definitely be making. In 2019 I read a total of 61 books! I'm excited to see how many books I'll finish 2020 having read. I always have a hard time setting my monthly TBR goal. Usually I only pick out around 4-5 physical books, and then let my mood sort out the rest. Usually when I post my Monthly TBR Pile on my Instagram, I only picture the physical books I'm hoping to read that month. Below is my (rather hopeful) TBR list! August TBR 1. The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo #2) - Physical book 2. The Burning Maze (The Trials of Apolo #3) - Physical book 3. Mexican Gothic - Library Ebook - currently reading. 4. Cinderella is Dead - Library Ebook 5. Not Like the Movies - Physical book 6. Girl, Serpant, Thorn - Library Ebook We'll see if I make it through this whole list, and
