I used to do funny stuff when the kids were little. Leprechauns would sneak into the house that week and do silly stuff. The girls would sometimes build leprechaun traps. Having little ones means celebrating all the holidays, large and small. #fridayflatlay #stpatricksday #wearingofthegreen #daughterofsmokeandbone #lainitaylor #thesunbearertrials #aidenthomas #greenwichpark #katherinefaulkner #themarriageportrait #maggieofarrell #thegildedwolves #roshanichokshi #trust #hernandiaz #bookcovers #readersofinstagram #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5SEMTB-5y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#HernanDiaz #Trust was Booker longlisted and one of the best books of 2022 by NYT. It’s definitely worth the read. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpjplu4BdOt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It’s Friday!! And you know what that means, fellow bookworms. It’s another haul post! These are three beautiful hardbacks that I had been waiting to arrive for some time then Waterstones had those warehouse problems 😒 I’ve become obsessed with Greek mythology retellings so jumped at the chance to preorder Ithaca. It’s also by Claire North who wrote one of my favourite books - The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August. Ithaca follows the story of Penelope, Odysseus’ wife who is barely into womanhood when Odysseus leaves her for war in Troy. Years later, speculation is mounting that he is dead and suitors are clambering around her, desperate to be King of Ithaca. Penelope could be one choice away from a bloody civil war. I preordered Trust as it was longlisted for the Booker in 2022. It’s set in the roar and effervescence of New York in the 1920’s where everyone has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall St tycoon and she is the brilliant daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth. However the secrets around their affluence and grandeur incites gossip. At what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? Finally, I’m back on the Greek mythology train with the wonderful Natalie Haynes and her retelling of the gorgon Medusa. I’ve often wondered if Medusa was slightly misunderstood and after having loved A Thousand Ships, I can’t wait to read Haynes take on this story which was always a favourite of mine. This is the story of how a young woman became a monster. And how she was never really a monster at all. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors.
