Homer. Odessy

so-so

3✨ Another Serial Read that I wanted to finish today instead of it‘s scheduled time. I really liked the translation from Samuel Butler. We have Penelope mourning when suitors won‘t leave her alone and invade her home. Her son is sent on a mission to find his father who has been missing from some of the gods themselves. Meanwhile, his father is trying to get himself home as well. Not a bad story when you read it slowly. 🥰💛

Karisa Years ago Hallmark had a miniseries starring Armand Assante (Ulysses), Isabella Rossellini (Athene), Bernadette Peters (Circe), Vanessa Williams (Calyspo). It‘s long but sooo good. Full thing is on YouTube (edited) 1y

Roary47 @Karisa Sweet! I‘ll have to check that out. 1y

Karisa @Roary47 It was filmed in Greece and the Calypso island part looks too beautiful to be a real place 1y

I‘m excited to finish this month. It has been a great reading month and I have a fresh TBR coming in for next month. I‘m going to try to read at least 20 chapters, but big goal is to finish 3-4 books still on my July TBR out of the 9 I still have. @Andrew65

Andrew65 Best of luck with finishing those books. 2y

Today was a first for me - I took a photo in a toilet cubicle! 🤣🤣🤣 #blameitonlitsy

This wallpaper though was fab and needed to be shared!

laurieluna One of my locals has this wallpaper too! Looked it up and it was £120 a roll 😟 made my eyes water a bit. 6y

Mitch @miralunasbooknook that must be why they only had a little strip of it! 🤣 6y

julesG @miralunasbooknook Is it a repetitive pattern? You might get one roll and share it with other Littens? Split the costs. 6y

laurieluna @julesG not sure. Didn't stay long enough on the page to find out. I think there were a fair few covers before it repeated though from what I remember in the pub I saw it in! 6y

Dragon 😂 great🚽 wallpapering 6y

Pamwurtzler I‘ve taken that same picture in a coffee shop bathroom in San Francisco! 😀 6y

I was honestly surprised at how readable this book is and how engaging. This is a classic for good reason.

[I]t is the wine that leads me on,
the wild wine
that sets the wisest man to sing
at the top of his lungs,
laugh like a fool – it drives the
man to dancing... it even
tempts him to blurt out stories
better never told.

dear.rebecca Love it! 8y
