By Marilyn Singer from Turtle in July (couldn‘t find in database so tagged another of her books)
And of course, there‘s my favorite cat poetry book, T.S. Eliot‘s Old Possum‘s Book of Practical Cats

Women have been choosing the bear since the dawn of time…
pickI adore Natalie Haynes‘ stand-up routines, which make Greek and Roman myths accessible and relevant to the modern world. I don‘t feel her style translate as well into book form, but this is still an interesting introduction to a selection of Greek goddesses, and her comparison of Artemis with Katniss from the Hunger Games has made me intrigued to read the latter.

Earlier this year I listened to the author‘s 2 hour abridged presentation of this book but I had to own an unabridged copy. I am only 16 pages in but feel confident in saying every woman should own, read and gift this book. I‘m soaking up every word. It‘s just what I needed on the tail end of a year and a half depression. I know I will be gifting this to both my daughters.
What are you reading on this lovely Sunday evening? ☀️🤓
Watching the nibling for the afternoon, and they‘re doing a Greek mythology thing at school, so it‘s time to bring out the book I got for Christmas when I was their age. ❤️
I‘m going to have to bail on this one. The writing is dry and it reads like a dissertation. Example “At the point when Perceval rides out into the grey and empty dawn from the deserted castle, we are two-fifths of the way through Chrétien‘s work in its unfinished form.” That‘s a sentence chosen at random. ? I wanted to like it, but when reading becomes a chore, I‘m out. Too many good books out there. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
I like the focus on Persephone and Demeter's (daughter and mother) relationship in this story, instead of Hades.
pickTells the Ancient Greek myth of Spring with Persephone and Demeter. The end of the book explains more of the history and culture involved with the story.
