Welcome to Litsy!

Wow. A totally mesmerising, dream-like retelling of stories from Ovid' s Metamorphoses. So lyrical. It's like dipping your toe in to a world you can't even quite imagine. Well done Zachary Mason, I shall be reading more of you!

It‘s not a good sign when I‘m just glad to be done. I was entertained by revisiting so much Greek mythology, but never took to Mason‘s retelling.

Part 1/3

Today I went window shopping and fell in love with a million books I can‘t afford - this one is the most physically beautiful book I‘ve held in my hands for ages, a strange modern retelling of Ovid. I think I‘m in love 😍😍😍

If only I had the book budget I wish I did...

Trying this on audio from the library. I‘m not sold yet, but l‘ll give it more time. Any thoughts?

Metamorphica by Zachary Mason is a solid 5 star read for me. It is an epic and masterful retelling of Ovid‘s Metamorphoses and it would do him proud.

Metamorphica by Zachary Mason is a delight of the imagination and food for the soul. I devoured over half of this book last night and hope to finish the rest today. I don‘t have the words to describe how beautifully written and well done this is. I think Ovid would be proud. #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklover #bookish #bookblogger #bookstagram #greekmythology #romanmythology #ovid

I spent more money today than I knew was possible in a single day and my heart and my bank account feel fragile. I managed to sneak a few books into the basket so ??‍♀️?

Do you feel like you‘ve spent too much money when buying things that aren‘t books? I can easily blow (e0 on books and think I‘ve grabbed a bargain but (e0 on say, clothing, and I feel like I‘ve been robbed ? #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklover #bookblogger #bookwormproblems
