pan1✨ There is something in me that really wants to like mythology, but I constantly just can‘t seem to be engaged. I enjoyed some of this book, but I wasn‘t able to get my head around all the characters. To the give away pile it goes.

pick88/150 Another day, another bug hunt! Thing start out differently this time for Rade and the Argonauts, as their opponents are humans who have captured them because their colony is revolting for independence. That quickly goes out the door as giant space spiders (Arachnauts?) invade the colony. This book is here solely for the action and bug smashing, don't come looking for character development. Good mindless fun. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
pick86/150 I thought I might be getting tired of this series by now, but it keeps up the breakneck run and gun action, the breathless escapes, crude humor and slight romance that I've enjoyed so far. This time, our heroes are helping their allies, the Greens, against another race, the Hydras. I like the story has begun to add some moral ambiguity to the Phants actions, how they control other races even if they are "the good guys". 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Having just returned from the theaters where I saw The Northman, I thought now is a good time to repost the picture of my signed Sjón book. Author of strange & wonderful novellas & screenwriter of 2 strange & wonderful movies. Also, an early fan of Backlisted!
Since the new movie “Lamb“ (the AV Club said of it, “as much a strange domestic drama as an A24 horror movie“) is released this week, I thought this as good of a time as any to post a picture of my signed copy of Sjón's The Whispering Muse. Sjón is one of the screenwriters for Lamb. Trailer below:

so-soTo get an idea about the book, Michel Faber‘s review in The Guardian is much better than I could ever give. 22June2012
I almost bailed, but Caeneus kept me reading. I enjoyed Moonstone much more. #Iceland
Ok, this series has BEAUTIFUL layering! I love how seamless each book is into the next. Romance is not my usual genre, but I am loving this series. Halfway through the series now! If you love Greek mythology this is something I‘d recommend picking up. It‘s super spicy, but I feel still has so much character development and storyline that it‘s not the focus.
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
