A book with a character who does Pilates - March 31, 2026 - In the sequel, Amber mentions doing Pilates to get back in shape after childbirth. She's just as conniving and diabolical in this story, but it seemed tired and overdone. Some interesting twists but not as captivating as the first book.

A book about a horse or with a horse on the cover - March 15, 2026 - The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series focuses more on Annabeth and her quest to follow the Mark of Athena. My daughter said this is her favourite so far, but Athena is her favourite goddess so of course it is.

A book in a different format than your usual - March 12, 2026 - I don't usually read digital format books, I prefer print editions, but this was the version I had access to. This story is quirky, fast paced, with over-the-top characters and scenarios. It's silly and fun. The last line made me chuckle out loud.
