1/2 Part one of my #MonthInReview for #JanuaryReads. I got a lot of reading done, and as you can see, I wasn't afraid to DNF when books weren't working for me. I was very excited to read Susanna Hoff's first novel (it comes out in April I think), because I am a huge Bangles fan. I also read a lot of romance and holiday stories- but that's what popped up in my audiobook library holds. TBC...

A “modern” version of the Persephone and Hades love story. Very cute, easy to read graphic novel. Trigger warning: SA scene

5. Loved this short story. 4/5

My final read of January is in the books! (Pun intended.)

This is a gorgeous graphic novel, made from a webcomic of the same name. The art is both bright and dark, playing off itself in interesting ways, and the story is compelling. I love Greek mythology and found myself asking “wait, is that REALLY what happened?!?” — as if any of it REALLY happened. 😂

January Reading Log: 5 books! Woooo I'm pretty impressed with myself! I finished the Lunar chronicles and I won't be falling up with Stars above since it's a bunch of backstories! Circe was my favorite read of the month. I'm really excited for February and can't wait to see what stories I'll immerse myself in! 💖

My husband found this for me as a holiday gift, and it was a lot of fun to read. The intro was especially delightful as the authors spoke about their motivation and talked a bit about the gendered roles we see in these modified stories. The illustrations are also gorgeous. #Mythology #GenderStudies

Omg, I loved this so much, I almost didn‘t finish it, knowing where it was going. I wasn‘t looking forward to it, because it‘s really not my usual taste, being YA style, but it‘s probably my fave book in a long time

I didn't know how much I needed a story like this until I read it. This was adorable. It was a lighter read than I was expecting. And I loved the artistry, it was so good.

I know I‘m way behind, but this was an excellent pick from start to finish. I was reminded that it was in one of my to-be-read stacks by a student who was reading it. Glad I opened it! Much better than Miller‘s Circe, which I enjoyed. Achilles was much more engrossing, better written, and more lyrical. A wonderful love tale of the great Greek hero!
