Just cleared another ebook - The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. This was an interesting retelling of the heroics of Achilles. I appreciate the author’s work of bringing the myths to life. The love story was told well. And I like that the author didn’t divorce the myth from the gods. But the writing felt a bit academic and removed. Worth reading! 4 stars

Just cleared another ebook - The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa. Really entertaining with good comic scenes! And it addresses some serious topics, like how women and people of color are often held to different standards for expressing emotions. “There’s room for different kinds of greatness. Even if you cry doing it. Hell, especially if you cry doing it.” “Protecting yourself from hurt doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human.” Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
