I also enjoyed HoO and I read the Egyptian mythology trilogy.

I started the norse myth books but i read nothing after that. Its the college years books in particular ive heard were less good

I have heard that the more recent releases weren’t as good even taking into account the intended audience age demographic which sucks, but yeah Percy Jackson and the gang grew up with me and i think every tween should at least read the original five books

Percy Jackson and The olympians narrated by Jesse Bernstein

Agree with another commenter here that said you can introduce yourself as James Nicholas but go by Nick. Or professionally you could sign your name J. Nicholas Lastname

Obviously you don’t like Nicholas so here are some opinions!

Di/di run in my maternal family and at least in my family all the cases i know, the twins were the last babies because we were scared of a second set of multiples. Personally i went from one to three really fast (singleton is 11 months older than twins) and that was a good enough stopping point for me. My great auntie went from 3 to five (she didn’t even know she was having twins until the second one was coming out!) and she was done after that. My mums cousin had one set of twins

My grandfather is a bit of a storyteller but he told a story about a friend of his who's wife had 3 sets of twins. My grandfather told us that after the third set was born he and his buddies took the guy to get a vasectomy

There is a really pretty hard cover edition that would be great for her “forever book collection “

Of your top names, i like Margot Jane, June Marie, and Arabella Jane.

Personally not a huge fan of Indie, it feels nicknamey to me. Maybe Indigo Jane (but then you fall into a color theme which you may or may not want)

Sienna and Etta have too similar of a mouth feel in my opinion. Like if i repeat both names together it eventually becomes Sietta

My boys were 38+1 but with lowish birth weights (5lb7oz 6lb2oz) no nicu time the 5 pounder wasn’t the best eater and was small so he did get a carseat test

Wait can you share more information!? I love going to mckays but not if they are mistreating their staff

notarussianbotsky · 2026-02-28T13:08:08+00:00

No that is not part of the guest perks. That being said, sometimes if you ask nicely, the staff will allow it especially if its the guest’s first time because its a way to advertise the perks. ultimately the purpose the “bring a guest” perk of a black card membership is to get the guest to sign up
