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.

Thank you @Mitch for the book about Goddesses for my birthday 🥳. It sounds right up my alley.
I hope you‘re enjoying some outdoor time this weekend. I‘m headed out for a waterfall hike shortly. 🥰🥾⛰️

For some reason, I struggled with this one.

There were some great insights and analysis and I thoroughly enjoyed how much more I learned about these deities but at some point it felt too much like an essay filled with dated or not needed pop culture that took away from whatever point the author might be making.

Loved it!!!!

If you love Greek mythology, sarcasm, and studying the classics from a feminist POV, this one is for you. I loved every second of this dive into the stories of the goddesses. Haynes doesn't shy away from painful stories, but she manages to bring humor to the book as well. The section on Persephone‘s kidnapping (pictured) is heartbreaking. I'm off to read the rest of her books now and I can't believe I‘ve missed her work so far!

I love a bit of Greek myth, me.

I'm listening to the latest Natalie Haynes (who is brilliant) while working on my 2024 reading #bujo. If you can't tell by the tail, Tommy is helping. 😁

I was so excited to get this NetGalley ARC as Natalie Haynes is such a fantastic author and speaker. As always she didn‘t let me down.
In this book she examines the roles of the goddesses in Greek myth with her usual brilliant storytelling and humour while making it really easy to understand for anyone
Highly recommended
