July Theme - Hobbies and crafts

Jul. 5th, 2025 09:52 pm

This month's theme is Hobbies and Crafts - I remember thinking that it would be hard to quantify exactly what a month of bite-size work on this theme will look like last year. I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly found plenty of things to tackle.

For those of you seeking ideas, some of the things you might want to work on include: clearing and making the space you work in more conducive to productivity, organising supplies, organising currently underway projects, organising unstarted projects, dealing with finished projects, weeding out unwanted supplies/projects. If you are a collector or a sports participant, it might be sorting/cleaning collectibles or equipment of whatever description. Anything goes this month to suit the needs of your hobbies.

For my perspective, I have multiple hobbies and crafts that I dabble in, each with their own supplies *and their own clutter*, so over the course of the month, my first goal is to retrieve some of my crafting spaces - my dining room table is clutter filled which stops me painting, my crafting chair upstairs is filled with none crafting related items, leaving nowhere there for me to sit and my scrapbooking project is split between a variety of boxes in a variety of locations. As the owner of way too many books, a fight with my book storage is always an ongoing process, and as someone who has so many different hobbies and crafts I always seem to be in need of sorting through ongoing projects to decide which ones can I make progress on quickly/finish easily?

After that who knows what's next... depending on how long each of the above tasks take, I might also allocate some time to trying to finish some almost finished projects.

Let us know what your plan is for the month and keep us posted with your progress.

The Battle of the Labyrinth: The Graphic (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels #4) by Robert Venditti (Adaptor), Rick Riordan, José Villarrubia (Illustrator), Attila Futaki (Illustrator)





Genre:
Comics, Graphic Novel, Mythology, Greek Mythology, Mythology, Percy Jackson, Young Adult, Monsters, Contemporary, Urban Fantasy

Publication Date:
October 2, 2018

Page Numbers:
128

Read/Finished Date:
July 2nd, 2025 - July 3rd, 2025

Rating:
3/5

Premise:


Half Boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

Honestly, blowing up another school was the last thing I wanted to do.
As the son of a Greek God, I've had my share of near-death disaster - and now my arch enemy Luke wants to invade our camp via an ancient labyrinth.

If he succeeds, thousands of bloodthirsty monsters will attack. So it's goodbye sunshine, hello darkness as four of us descend into the terrifying underground and beyond...


Review:



The art of this series remains a contentious problem. I don't know what it is, but the whole art bothers the hell out of me. It feels messy, like the art was on a deadline and they had to pull something together quickly.

I don't want to drag this review out. I don't feel that nitpicking this book will solve the missing pieces, because nothing will change regardless of our griping. It's been written already, and it's been chopped into pieces that I feel the book missed a lot of the important marks this book had in the novel.

The Titan's Curse: The Graphic Novel (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels #3) by Robert Venditti (Adaptor), Rick Riordan, José Villarrubia (Illustrator), Attila Futaki (Illustrator)





Genre:
Comics, Graphic Novel, Mythology, Greek Mythology, Mythology, Percy Jackson, Young Adult, Monsters, Cotemporary, Urban Fantasy

Publication Date:
October 8, 2013

Page Numbers:
128

Read/Finished Date:
July 1st, 2025 - July 2nd, 2025

Rating:
2.5/5

Premise:


A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest.
When Percy receives an urgent distress call from Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and a ride from his mom.
The demigods race to the rescue, only to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.
Now, Percy and his friends are faced with their most dangerous challenge-the chilling prophecy of the Titan's Curse. They must rescue the goddess Artemis by the Winter Solstice, or all will be lost including Annabeth.
Rick Riordan's internationally best-selling "The Titan's Curse" becomes a graphic novel in the hands of comic-book luminaries Robert Venditti, Attila Futaki, and Gregory Guilhaumond.


Review:



I had to reevaluate my rating on this graphic novel. I mean, how could YOU not put in the "dam" joke! It was funny and here I was hoping to see it played out in all of its glory, only to end up being removed from the line-up. It sucks, but whatever. It was still a nice shortened version of the novel, but the artwork still sucks.

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels #2) by Robert Venditti (Adaptor), Rick Riordan, José Villarrubia (Illustrator), Attila Futaki (Illustrator)





Genre:
Comics, Graphic Novel, Mythology, Greek Mythology, Mythology, Percy Jackson, Young Adult, Monsters, Cotemporary, Urban Fantasy

Publication Date:
July 2, 2013

Page Numbers:
128

Read/Finished Date:
June 28th, 2025 - June 29th, 2025

Rating:
5/5

Premise:


NOTE: This is a graphic novel

Seventh grade has been surprisingly quiet for Percy Jackson. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get...well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of his friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed.

In the follow-up to the wildly popular The Lightning Thief, The Graphic Novel, Percy and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their camp. But first, Percy will discover a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Featuring a faithful adaptation by Robert Venditti, stunning artwork by Attila Futaki, and sumptuous colors by newcomer Tamas Gaspar, Rick Riordan's blockbuster book comes to life in The Sea of Monsters, The Graphic Novel.


Review:



This has to be one of my favorite books of the Percy Jackson books. The whole Grover having to make a wedding gown just to delay a Cyclops was absolutely hilarious and to see it play out in a graphic novel was the chef's kiss. Again, this is just a shorter version of the novel and I do recommend if you haven't read it prior to this, that you do so now.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

[personal profile] canadiangirlgeek posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Val

Age: 47

I mostly post about: Being Gen-X, Canadian, ramblings of day to day life, my mental health, sometimes the state of the world (though I try to keep that to a minimum), what I'm currently reading, Nelson shenanigans (my cat)

My hobbies are: I knit and crochet; writing, watching movies/television (mostly drama and British telly), reading, 'cozy' colouring with alcohol markers, music (love to listen to new things)

My fandoms are: I used to be very into fandoms 10 or so years ago, but not so much anymore. It can be exhausting.

I'm looking to meet people who: above all, are kind. 20+ of age, and have some interests in common. It would be ideal if you like to comment on entries.

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for daily, but likely a few times a week. I'm journaling again at the suggestion of my therapist.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: the usual: racism, anti-LGBTQIA+. I used to be a big Harry Potter fan, but no longer and I generally stay away from those who still embrace the fandom, JKR, and the books/movies.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a very kind and sensitive person and try to be thoughtful and respectful when commenting on others entries, so I hope to receive the same in return. Also, I have an odd sense of humour and I use "LOL" and "<3" a lot.

[personal profile] theharbourreader posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Blythe
Age: 37

I mostly post about:
Life on the Cornish coast, daily swims in the sea, studio days at the pottery wheel, what’s blooming in the garden, what I’m reading (mostly mid-century women writers), the small rituals that keep me steady, and occasional thoughts on slow living and soft rebellion.

My hobbies are:
Ceramics, sea swimming, baking things that go with tea, reading literary fiction (especially anything with layered domestic dynamics and quiet emotional collapse), pressing flowers into notebooks, and making seasonal playlists.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Write or read with heart, find beauty in the everyday, value kindness, know the pleasure of a well-brewed pot of tea, or also spend entire evenings choosing which notebook to start. Anyone who understands that joy and sadness often walk hand in hand.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Softly inconsistent— I'm aiming for 2-3x week, sometimes once a week, sometimes three times in a day if I’m feeling chatty or emotionally unspooled. Usually seasonal—more reflective in winter, more playful in summer.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty, racism, snobbery, homophobia, transphobia, or taking yourself far too seriously. I’m not here for edge for edge’s sake.

Before adding me, you should know:
I write a little like I talk—long, meandering, full of parentheses and feelings. I will absolutely comment on your post about moss or jam or the book you half-finished three years ago. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be soft on purpose.
