I started reading this series when I was 10/11 and I really enjoyed reading about the boy genius/semi-evil mastermind. I guess you could say we grew up together. I read books 1-6 pretty much as soon as they came out, enjoying Artemis' adventures. I'm now 25, and my tastes have changed quite a bit, which means Artemis is now a good 10 years younger than me and I don't enjoy his adventures as much. I'm glad that all the gang returned for the story and all. I do feel a need to finish the series and I do own the eighth and last book in the series, so I will finish it at some point but it won't be my next read.
  
I wanted to like this tale better than I did, but it's just not as charming as the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The drawings are as delightful as ever but the characters are mostly cranky, Alice is more bratty, and how the story moves along isn't as fantastical. Not bad by any means, but a disappointing follow-up.

This is a fun trip down a pre-Civil War Mississippi. The plot comes and goes, but I enjoy the ride. My biggest complaint is the various dialects the characters use. Some of them are very hard to follow.

Nan's attempts to get a date via an on-line dating service end in another murder for the twins to solve. Sadly, this was the last book in a great series. I still miss the adventures of these twins.

I started this novel on a whim, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I adored it. I started reading it because I named my kitten Athena so I was getting into Greek gods.

I am excited to read more of this series and follow Percy on his next adventures.

Geeky warped fun
If you've never seen Rick and Morty your missing out. Season 3 continues the theme of bad hunter and cool sci-fi twist all wrapped up in a great cartoon.
Rick and Morty is about a Space+time scientist and his grandson who go on various adventures battleling aliens and alter egos.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderfully absurd take on Wonderland.

Alice is scheduled to be lobotomized after being institutionalized for talking about her adventures in Wonderland.

The White Rabbit rescues her and the adventure starts as Alice is tasked with killing the Queen of Hearts.
