Yesterday‘s op shop purchases. I probably should have laid off my foot but I needed the distraction as I‘m not allowed back at ballet. All for the bargain price of $28 which is pretty good in today‘s climate.

Yesterday was long. Traveling for work. 4 hour flight + 5 hour layover + 2 hour flight = lots of reading time. Finished my audiobook, an ARC, and started a reread of the tagged book, which is excellent. I love Patti Smith's writing.

lil1inblue I am obsessed with Patti Smith. Such a great writer...and artist...and musician. 15h

I have seen this since it came out and for some reason had ignored it, until yesterday. Extremely honest, sad but as time goes on Maggie finds peace. Great read.

The Odyssey | Homer

Book no.11 of the year!
I've read a different version of Homer's work but I was intrigued by this one and I have to say that I do love Wilson's translation of this epic poem.
Her use of modern language and choice of iambic pentameter for her translation felt new and contemporary and it was easier to read and visualize for me. This alone was a challenge as she managed to keep the same number of verses from the original Greek! Kudos Wilson 🎉🎉

Perfect St Patrick‘s Day reading: three generations of an Irish family share a connection but are largely absent from each other. There‘s famous poet Phil, the patriarch who leaves his family, his stalwart daughter Carmel, and her daughter Nell, a twenty-something trying to find herself. Nell feels a deep connection with her grandfather and his work. I started the audio but connected much easier on the page and ended up loving this.

willaful Huh, I hadn't thought about it but my book today is also perfect. 24h
