Welcome to Litsy!

5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Beautiful writing ✒️. I was very surprised by how much I loved this #greekmythology #medusa #perseus #poseidon #retelling #greekretelling

Onto book 5. This series has soooo many twists it is head spinning to keep up. Loving it though, after this one will have to wait for book 6. Gosh I hope the ended isn't a massive cliff hanger! #fairytale #retelling #thelittlemermaid #mermaid #captainhook #pirate #thesnowqueen #snowwhite #jackfrost #robinhood #beautyandthebeast #poseidon

I think I'm going to call this one a so so. The stories felt a little all over the place. The author's note at the end did sort of explain the difficulty in writing a story about Poseidon. That saved it from being a pan for me.

This was a really good one! It features Poseidon thinking on his life and children. I enjoyed how he kept repeating "my children have always tended to be monstrous" about them all, even the mortal ones.

+6 for #TeamStoker

Slight departure from the series style on that Poseidon narrates his own story (author‘s notes were really interesting on that front), but still very good. Not my favorite installment, but definitely solid.

The pink theme wasn‘t working for me. Hopefully this slightly changed theme will work better and inspire some creativity and enjoyment to post. I‘m feeling really emotional and down today, I‘ve heard some things that have upset me and broken my heart because they mean that there is no hope here for such matters and that is painful to swallow. Hope you‘re all having a better day. 🖤🌻 #bookblog #bookworm #booklover #greekmythology #classicist

Good morning beautiful souls 🌸💗

I‘m still working my way through E. M. Beren‘s Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome. It‘s a really good collection of the myths and one of the best I‘ve read so far so I‘m savouring it and taking it slowly. Beautiful books need to be savoured in the mind to get all the subtle pieces and fullest enjoyment.

What is a book that you like to savour? #booklover #greekmythology #classicist

Dear University,

Thank you for throwing me a curveball just when I think I‘d sorted out what I wanted to do and how I wanted to work things. Now I‘m feeling a bit lost, a bit thrown out of whack, a bit disoriented and a bit awkward. I‘m scowling at my classics shelf and cursing your name. Thanks for making this hard again. Gods damn you! #bookaddict #bookish #bookblog #bookworm #classicist #classicsstudent #greekliterature #classicalgreek

5⭐️ah Poseidon, the moody middle child who occasionally throws temper tantrums. Hear me out- he‘s my favorite Olympian God. While the narrator of his story, he doesn‘t give a lot of emotions away& is a private god-& I really like that. Im not a fan of his monstrous kiddos, but he is a pretty cool dude. It‘s like he seems to be a guy with stuff going on the surface, but you have to go REALLY DEEP to get a glimpse of who he really is.🧜🏼‍♂️🐴🔱
