My number 3 read of 2025
pickGorgeous. I didn‘t think this could surprise me but it did—partly in the aspects of the myth that Miller chooses to use and leave out, partly in the character relationships.
It‘s harder to see than I anticipated, but that‘s my husband‘s copies of the Iliad and the Odyssey under my Kobo in the picture!
pickI love the ancient Greeks and their gods and heroes, so I don‘t know why it took so long for me to pick this up. I struggled for the first few chapters, but I‘m so glad I persevered. I fell into the story utterly and completely and devoured it. The storytelling is nothing short of beautiful ❤️
pickI did not think it was as beautifully/lyrically written as Miller's Song of Achilles, but it did deserve the Booker Award. Is it okay to contradict myself? It is written from the perspective of Trojan women who, as spoils, were enslaved to and raped by the men who killed their families. Very evocative and very well needed. I wish I had noted who included this book in last week's #SundayFunDay. It was an outstanding read, and I thank you.

Will this be the month that I do #roll100 successfully?
Or will this be like every other month where I diligently avoid the list and mood read random stuff instead?
These are all high priority reads so maybe I shall do it 👀
