Welcome to Litsy!

Second book club book in a row that feels like it wont ever end despite being 190 pages. Maybe its the translation, maybe its the way the dialogue is presented. Maybe its the little boy who i strongly dislied. i dont know. i got to part 3 and said enough. ugh…

The story of Odysseus's homecoming, told alternatively from Odysseus's and Penelope's point of view.

For much of this book I felt it was just a re-telling of the second half of the Odyssey which stuck too close to the original. It was only after Odysseus (disguised as the beggar) and Penelope met and the two tricksters start manoeuvring round each other that I really thought we were getting anything new.

I'm waiting for a friend of mine to have lunch together, while I'm waiting I read outside.
Actually I do not read outside as much as I would like to 😔😅

Loved it! 💜 Penelope gets her revenge and Odysseus gets to remain true to his exaggeratory & vainglorious nature. I won‘t spoil it by revealing how! Ingenious though.

A testament to the rich imagination and humanity of Homeric lit that the stories live on thru retellings that never feel stale.

She‘s back again this morning......and moves far more quickly than I would have imagined. 🐌

“Idiotic” is right! 😜

My class ends today as soon as I click on submit for the final essay! Woot! This book mail arrived at the perfect moment. 😁😁

I have long had The Snow Leopard on my TBR. That will be a dip in & out read.

Goodmorning, everybody!
Hope you will have a great day!
I'm off today so I can finish the tagged book and keep going with #Troubledblood that I'm enjoying so much!

Well... the book is not a masterpiece by now, I hope it will get better soon but I'm not pretty confident about 😅
I just find ironic reading it while I'm working in the hotel 🤣

What a cute series ❣😍
I read all the four books in 3 days and I liked a lot each of them.
The first one (tagged book) it's the longest and also my favourite, but all the novels are very well written and the characters are just perfect 😍❣
