pickThis book was amazing for introducing new characters 🥹 I absolutely love everyone that was added in this book but definitely have a bad feeling about Nico.. the prophecy is def about him!!
pickWhat a great second book, it really set up book 3 beautifully 🥹❤️ I love Percy and his friends! They are so lovable and sweet 📖
pickThis is “the book” for anyone who likes Greek Mythology. At first it was a little overwhelming with the sheer amount of myths being told, but soon you get used to the rhythm of one coming directly after another. I absolutely loved Stephen Fry‘s author/written voice. He was witty and charming as he added his commentary to the myths. I already have the next book detailing the hero‘s! Can‘t wait.
Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! I did not know that Stephen Fry had a 4th book in the Greek Mythology series. I need to finish my current audiobook so I can get to this. I know it's going to be another winner. #SeriesLove2025
pickI found this haunting. There is something about the authors use of language that mimics the ‘for the ages‘ style of the original works whilst bringing fresh perspectives and an almost practical infuse telling. In this one our narrator is slave to Cassandra sailing home with Agamemnon who is mostly secondary to the story of his waiting wife and family. The horror of their home, ghosts of slaughtered and canabilised children adds tension .& horror.
pickAs an avid fan of all things myth (from a multitude of cultures), this wasn‘t anything mind-blowing to me, but I absolutely had a good time reading it. I enjoyed her connections to modernity. I like her wit. It‘s always fun to take a feminist critique, which is what I often did with my own scholarly papers. It‘s important work, but it‘s also important to be accessible and Haynes accomplishes just that.
pickExactly what I wanted, a modern feminist lens on the Greek goddesses. Really fills the niche I was missing after reading that collection of tragic plays and feeling so alienated by the lack of such considerations in the accompanying essays.
While she covers the classics by speaking on a selection of well known myths on certain goddesses, I love that Haynes also includes 1/?
Okay, but a horror film with the Olympians as the threats sounds AMAZING. 🤩
pickFinished the 5th book in the Percy Jackson series. I really enjoyed it. Always a nice, easy read that‘s fun. Also, some of you may recall I lost my kitty back in March. A little over a week ago I adopted a new fur baby. Meet Aurora (“Rory”) - she‘s pretty shy and still skittish at times but she‘s warming up nicely
*Snrk* 🤭 Haynes is having such a good time, and so am I!
