CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Hello, everyone! I hope your last two weeks have been going well and have been full of wonderful reads. Is everyone enjoying our summer weather?

What is everyone reading this week?

I'm reading The Iliad for the first time and it's been really engaging. I've read The Odyssey a couple of times (though the version I have is a prose form and not poem so I should probably try and find an actual poem form), but never this. I'm a bit sad it's taken me so long to read it. I'm also working on The Hobbit.

Trying to decide what else I should read. I just finished binge watching Heartstopper on Netflix (y'all, you should go watch it; it's so sweet and amazing and now ranks up there as one of the best adaptations I've seen) and while I've read those graphic novels, I've not read anything else Oseman has written. Yet I own all her books. Hm. I'm thinking starting with Solitaire, her first book, and doing a full read of them. Yeah, that sounds good. :D

Happy reading!

I am still reading Emma. I decided to take a break from it, and read The Crocodile on the Sandbank, and finished it in 2 days (if you haven't read it, you really should- this book is indeed laugh out loud funny). I am also rereading A Study in Scarlet, for next month's mystery book club. After that, I think I will read down the mountain of books to be read (and get caught up on the books I have checked out from the library).

I have read both The Illiad and The Odysssey for classes. My opinions in college were different than in high school, so I might have to reread them, see if my opinions have changed more. Having read them both made me appreciate Circe more, knowing the background story.

I just finished Girls Burn Brighter by Shobha Rao
