We know what happens in Hell.. But what about Purgatory Dante's Inferno revealed some titillating details about the punishments inflicted on sinners - but in a way, we already knew what happens to people in Hell. ⬇️

suvata What we don't know is what happens to people who end up in Purgatory. In this second part of The Divine Comedy, Dante probes the mysteries of that strange and often misunderstood place between Earth and Heaven.

Purgatory is a place to work through - no one gets stuck there forever. The souls in Dante's Purgatory must climb up seven terraces on Mount Purgatory before they can reach Heaven.

OK, I‘ve been kind of a horrible teammate this month. I was on vacation the first week… the rest of the time I was working and I have not had a day off since the 9th. I did do some reading and I currently have 180 points for spooky/themed books, 10 points for other books, and 1130 points for 113 hours in a readathon. Total 1320 points for reading.

I‘m using this as my #ThinkGreek mythology retelling for #Booked2022… it‘s not a pure retelling but it definitely includes a whole lot of mythology and gods all together in this (absolutely terrifying) purgatory place. Ghosts, gods, demons, angels, monsters and epic battles—there is a LOT going on here, but it‘s definitely a well-written, fascinating story. I think it was bit longer than it needed to be, but otherwise I loved it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is nuts. Luxe and her boyfriend Nico are hired to take two girls to an exotic deserted and cursed Island. But two other people are already there and the party doesn't end well 🏝
