Cris!! I just saw your latest post and, of course, I had to send a message bcs I saw The Song of Achilles and internally screamed. I hope it won't be as heart-wrenching this time around and you are so brave for rereading it! I still remember not being able to function for, like, weeks after reading it for the first time like it just took away my entire soul. Also, it was awful to hear that you tested positive and the bookshopping was cancelled, but I hope everything will be okay and you'll fully recover soon! That's so crazy that you still got it even though you don't go out that much like, wow. Sending you some good thoughts and warm vibes!!
Hello Rylie!!! It's so good to hear from you, I hope you are doing well!! Thank you so much for your message 💜🌿 you're always the sweetest.
Ever since I read tsoa last year I've had this mixed feeling of really wanting to reread it, and dread to be wrecked again. But I really felt like finally annotating my physical copy, and I decided to just go for it! I am having so much fun (I'll enjoy it till it lasts). I too was emotionally dead for over a week after reading it last year, I just remembered looking into the void, as if everything had lost meaning. And the funny thing is I new how the story would end, cause I had studied the Iliad in high school. But Madeline Miller is so good at making you forget you know the story, and she just manahes to give you the illustion that this time arouns maybe you can have hope, because things won't be that bad.
Thanks again for the message, it really made me smile, and it's always nice to fangirl a bit over books💜💜🌿 I hope you'll have a great day/evening!!
