pickGreat book if you are into Greek mythology- I loved it - very funny in parts too .
pickThis is such a detailed and nuanced description of a time that was not generous or kind to women in its mythology. Pat Barker is great
pickI really enjoyed this contemporary MG novel about a boy running a family greenhouse with his older brother after the death of their parents. His teacher assigns a project in which he must relate events & tasks in his own life to the 12 labors of Hercules. There‘s a lot of mythological information and an amazing setting on Cape Cod alongside a story of the importance of found family (including pets) and community connection.

pickIn the third book in Barker‘s Women of Troy series, we are given the story of Agamemnon‘s return to Mycenae. We know what will happen, but Barker provides us with an excellent retelling, setting up a story of revenge that picks up speed as we read. Baker writes beautifully, but I did take exception to her decision to use modern idioms and phrases. What she might gain in attracting younger readers, costs her a feeling of power in an ancient tale.

pickI love these books, I will finish them when they‘re available! The 6th and 7th books were a little slower plot wise than the other 5 but it could be because I binge read all 5 in a day hahahaha and I know this is a picture of number 7 I‘m sorry, 6 is under it.
