#ItTakesAllKinds
Today‘s #SomeoneRunning prompt made me think of this book which I read while taking a women‘s studies course back in the 90s. I keep meaning to reread it. My thoughts about it were probably triggered by recently finishing Once There Were Wolves.🐺🏃🏻♀️🐺🩶

Also, I've realized I've reached two milestones yesterday:
1. The 500th post with my latest drawing of the featured prompt for the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge
2. hit 10k Litfluence !!!

so-soThe story of the downfall of Troy in a nutshell. Although I had a vague idea of things (the war, Helen, Achilles, the Trojan horse etc) I wasn't sure of events & who had fought on which side, so reading an 'accessible to newbies' version such as this one is a good introduction. It's written in Fry's distinctive droll style but I find it impossible to say I enjoyed reading it mainly because all the characters are just so...awful. (continued)
Love this! @TheSpineView
1. a Yuki Onna (the Japanese Snow Woman) 😎 or a vampire.
2. so many! tons of bestiaries - the tagged one is one of my favourites. in fiction, there are loads as well: American Gods, Dracula, Carmilla, Thistlefoot, Folklore - a Dark Anthology, Swamplandia!, Spirits Abroad, the Odyssey, fairy tale collections, so many ghost stories, etc. etc. etc.

'Behold: Kali Tragus, the Russian thistle.'
Making slow progress through this one, yet it's a steady one with much pleasure. So far, it's fabulous.
A dark modern fantasy steeped in Yiddish folklore, a road trip through the vastness of the USA and the heritage, myths and memories of its immigrants.
