Welcome to Litsy!

I loved Pandora‘s Jar, so I was really excited for this one but I struggled with it a bit. I don‘t know if it was the book itself or me/the timing (this past week 😵‍💫). I‘ll definitely still be looking for her books in the future.

4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Stephen Fry once again delivered a brilliant book about the e Greek myths. An amazing addition to his series.

I‘m sad this trilogy is over. I loved North‘s reimagining of the Odyssey. I loved that this book extends beyond the end of the Odyssey as well.

The characters were great too. Leartes was hilarious. I love that his signature move is to try to chop the other swordsman‘s fingers off 🤣 Absolutely perfect for the father of Odysseus…

I've decided to stop reading this genre. I find it too damn depressing. Nicely written but not for me.

Read this last week. I‘m not sure if these are getting better or worse… This one a lot and nothing both happened. This one was more about the relationships, which is fine. But I feel like they‘re really dragging out the political situation. I mean, I‘ll keep reading them but meh.

One of my favorite classic stories. This book did a great job portraying.

Delightful!

This is a retelling of Medusa‘s myth. I picked up this one because it was giving Madeline Miller vibes. I did like it—it was humorous, it did interesting interpretations with the Greek characters and gods, and a lot of the chapters were short which made it easy to get through. The plot did feel a little more sparse and didn‘t always have a clear center, so it wasn‘t the level of Miller for me, but I did still like it!

Very grey day here, so i ll be in my reading nook with an epic book
