All-things-crossed that today continues as quietly as it‘s gone so far, because I just want to read and have a snack and not deal with people. 😂 I really enjoyed “A Thousand Ships,” but I‘m loving this even more so far! #stoneblind #nataliehaynes #greekmythology #medusa #perseus #mythologyreimagined

pick#StoneBlind was the perfect book for my holiday on Corfú. It‘s Haynes best book so far. We get multiple perspectives and everyone‘s background and the gods are actually portrayed as immortal & powerful. Great writing and storytelling.

pickLove love love loved it 🥰. I have a super soft spot for Greek mythology and omg this was so good. I finished it within two days which is super rare for me. The characters were good. Paragraphs weren't dragged out and although the order was a bit off in order to keep them short and sweet it was a highly readable book. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of the widely loved Song of Achilles and Circe!

The shortlist for the #WomensPrize has been announced. What do you think? I have already read A Thousand Ships & Girl, Woman, Other and I will probably start reading Hamnet tomorrow. The other three are on my list!

Inspired by listening to, and reading, Natalie Haynes to revisit the Aeneid for the first time since my O Levels, but maybe not yet up to reading it in Latin again. #virgil #aeneid #nataliehaynes #classics #book #books #bookstagram #currentlyreading #classicalliterature #latin #coffee #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #caffeine #caffeineaddict #wakeupandsmellthecoffee #muswellhill #muswellhillbilly #n10 #cotebrasseriemuswellhill

I have enjoyed Natalie Haynes‘s ‘The Ancient Guide to Modern Life‘ so much that I have decided to revisit Juvenal‘s Satires, which I remember grappling with in the original Latin forty odd years ago at school. #nataliehaynes #theancientguidetomodernlife #juvenal #satires #classics #literature #latin #i💙nataliehaynes
