#mythtakereadathon

Who wore it better? 💁‍♀️ . I read The Children of Jocasta on Saturday for the #basicallyreadathon and I really enjoyed it. I gave it 4 ⭐️s. . It’s also the second book I finished for the #mythtakereadathon and it fit the prompt to read a mythology retelling (Oedipus and Antigone). . I didn’t dislike it at the start, but I was a little confused. I was quickly sucked in, however, and I soon fell in love with the story. The characters were amazing and so was Natalie Haynes’ writing. . I’ll definitely be checking out her other books soon and I’ll probably buy my own copy of this too in time! . In other news, my joint booktube channel has finally gone live. It’s not yet linked in my bio, but you can find us at The Indecisive Readers! . I also reviewed Wicked Fox yesterday (that link is in my bio), but the former is much more exciting! . . . . #mythtakereads #bookstagram #thechildrenofjocasta #reading #nataliehaynes #book #read #booksofinstagram #reader #bookblogger #booktuber #booktubenewbie #booktubenewbietag #bookish #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JhuJ4AXL_/?igshid=1grb13z41pvgg

Someone pleeeease tell me I’m not insane. . This is my TBR for the #mythtakereadathon (a two week readathon 🤦‍♀️). I want to read all the books on this pile and I couldn’t decide which ones to focus on, so I’m going to try to rush through them all. Also, some of them are library books, so they sort of need including too... . The Hand, The Eye & The Heart - The book of the month - Asian influences The Children of Jocasta - Mythology retelling The Blue Salt Road - Animal on the cover Gumiho/Wicked Fox - Host recommendation - Written by a POC Tangleweed and Brine - Written by a woman The Kingdom of Copper - Green on the cover - Over 400 pages . Whilst there are six on here, a couple of them are shorter, so I have my fingers crossed I’ll be okay! There are also a lot that overlap, so I know which books are my priorities and which I’ll be able to get away with not finishing. . I’ll be taking advantage of the collaboration with the #basicallyreadathon too - while I won’t be reading a book that’s been on my TBR forever, I’ll definitely be trying to read as much as I can! . At #yalc on Friday, I got my copy of The Hand, The Eye & The Heart signed. Zoe Marriott’s talk was so interesting (more to come on that later) and OF COURSE I told her that it was the #mythtakereads book of the month in August - she was so excited! . . . . #books #bookpile #toberead #bookstagram #tbr #book #reading #booksofinstagram #thehandtheeyeandtheheart #thechildrenofjocasta #thebluesaltroad #wickedfox #tangleweedandbrine #thekingdomofcopper #bookish #booklover #reader #bookblogger #bookblogging #mythologyretelling https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gZAZrgvHw/?igshid=by2j8dh38mdy
