What a treat it was to meet SGJ today! They say don‘t meet your heroes, but luckily he was every bit the kindest soul I hoped for.

After seeing my Aardvark copy, he also mentioned how he‘s included in Aardvark Book Club‘s upcoming short story collection next month. 🤘🏻

Ruthiella How neat! 🤩 7h

Grateful for the Litsy member who suggested this. I really enjoyed the imagined anger of Penelope. There were more women's perspectives than in The Silence of the Girls, including the goddesses, but I appreciated Barker's writing a tad bit more. Of course, Song of Achilles is incomparable. Hope I can find some more Homer retellings.

TheBookHippie I liked this one so much. 9h

@BookmarkTavern already tagged the first book that popped into my head. Luckily I had the tagged book as a very close second. The pirate story is a novel within the novel.

catch up for #bookedintime. I recommend all note the TW. the racism and violence is almost relentless. Secondlyit‘s quite slow and overly hung up on descriptions of place (and I usually like that!). We follow William Thornhill from a life of nothing in London through some successes to when he loses it all again and is shipped to Australia. What then follows is he and his wife finding their way inc. the horrific interactions with the native ⬇️

Itchyfeetreader Population. Thorhill is a disappointment and gala in worth the crowd even though you are never very sure he has the same revulsion some of the other men seem to suffer from. Not easy to read or an easy one 21h

A fave. If you look at this poem sideways, the lines are the piano keys. 🎹
