An olla of rather more beef than mutton, a salad on most nights, scraps on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and a pigeon or so extra on Sundays, made away with three-quarters of his income.

_Percy Jackson and the Olympians:_ • Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. • My nightmare started like this. • The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school. • The last thing I wanted to do on my summer break was blow up another school. • The end of the world started when a pegasus landed on the hood of my car. _The Heroes of Olympus:_ • Even before he got electrocuted, Jason was having a rotten day. • The snake-haired ladies were starting to annoy Percy. • Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything. • During the third attack, Hazel almost ate a boulder. • Jason hated being old. _Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard:_ • Yeah, I know. You guys are going to read about how I died in agony, and you're going to be like, 'Wow! That sounds cool, Magnus! Can I die in agony, too?' • Lesson learned: if you take a Valkyrie out for coffee, you'll get stuck with the cheque and a dead body. • 'Try it again,' Percy told me. 'This time with less dying.' _The Kane Chronicles:_ • We only have a few hours, so listen carefully. • Carter here. Look, we don't have time for long introductions. I need to tell this story quickly, or we're all going to die. • Sadie Kane here. If you're listening to this, congratulations! You survived Doomsday! *- All by Rick Riordan*

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of sadness -A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
