WHY NOVELLAS WHY?!?!
I think I should just stop reading them because I always want more! I can't accept 30 something pages or whatever. I need like 300 pages or something to be satisfied. However, I can't be mad because Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo was amazing. It will make you laugh consistently throughout this book. I loved every second of this book - I just wanted more. I always will when it comes to novellas, which is why I should probably stop reading them. But then again, I did want to read this entire series and I can proudly say that I think I have officially finished the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I think this was the last novella I needed to read - but I'm like 90% sure.

Historia corta pero agradable. Me gustó bastante ver una pequeña aventura más de Percy, muchas frases graciosas, como siempre. En fin, solo tengo algo que decir:
¡Feliz cumpleaños, Grover!

his was such an amazing short story anthology. Usually when you read a collection of short stories there are a few winners and a bunch of losers, but with this one there are a tone of winners and a couple runners-up.
Let’s talk about how awesome it is to read a new Ray Bradbury story and a phenomenal story at that. It is an amazing story about survival, life, and love. It is such an interesting concept (a world where you only live 8 days) and is executed so well (you wouldn’t expect any less from Bradbury). And it is just one of the amazing stories. The amazing list of authors in this book would impress anyone: Rick Riordan, Shannon Hale, DJ Machale, Tom Angleberger, Neal Shusterman, Rebecca Stead, Shaun Tan, Kenneth Oppel, Eric Nylund, and Ray Bradbury. I also love the variety of stories. There are fantasy and science fiction stories – Percy Jackson right next to a story about aliens – and there are serious and funny stories – Tom Angleberger’s hilarious Rise of the Roboshoes alongside The Klack Bros. Museum by Kenneth Oppel.
Even though I don’t want to pick favorites, I would say if you are going to pick and choose go with the stories by Hale, Angleberger, Shusterman, Tan, Oppel, and Bradbury.

The audio was great and I surprisingly enjoyed almost all the stories given my general aversion to fantasy and sci-fi stories. Just be sure to physically read the Shaun Tan story since it is told mostly in pictures. I was thoroughly confused when that story came up on the audiobook queue.
