It's a virus-spreading gremlin. 😆

😆could be, could be....

I sampled the Emily Wilson translation of Iliad, but I'm not impressed with the narrator.

On the other hand, Dan Stevens is narrating the translation by Robert Fitzgerald (internet claims his is the most accurate), so....

look, the gremlins put this one onto my wishlist 😆

😆

I knew that to happen.

I'm sure that there is reasonable explanation beyond the supernatural.

🤭 Sorry Sammy, but I did promise to let you know how I find it.

BTW, I also love the translation by Robert Fagles. 😊

I decided that for The Iliad I will try Emily Wilson's out of curiosity.

Just abandon it, Fiona. You shouldn't suffer and I'm sure we can find other books from that list!

OMG ... absolutely love Ian McKellen's narration.

🥰😇

We know the sacrifice and appreciate it. 😉

Great!! Thank you. 😊

Sophie,

If you can cover time travel, then Kari's should go for survival. :)

Read a book where a character gains independence

Read a book that is an against all odds / survival story

Read a book tagged "Time Travel" at least 10x

Just realised that the book I just finished works for character lives in a city.

Thank you for taking Turkey-born author for us, Sophie.

I don't mind about low page count at all!! 😊

🤣

Precisely. In August I'll turn 25 the second time. 🤭

Grabbing trickster character with The Odyssey narrated by Ian McKellen - I couldn't resist buying it. 😆

I read it when I was 17... OMG..

Grabbed the Culture tag book - I have been planning to reread The Odyssey and could not resist buying the audiobook narrated by Ian McKellen with my last credit. 🫠

No, I think this could work. :)

Sounds great, Sophie. 😊

🤭

Katherine Center is another author that keeps popping up and where I'm thinking: maybe, one day, just not right now.

Well, it took me 20 years to read a Bridgerton book, so who knows. 😆

Chacun a son gout! 😊 Glad that they bring you joy!!

I listened to the audiobooks (Winnipeg & Lukov) and they were not the right fit for me.
So I decided to give her a last chance and will read the ebook edition of Kulti. Soonish.
