I'm often hesitant to try a second book when I don't like the first book I've read by an author. But I've been pleasantly surprised a few times when I took a chance.

I enjoyed The Song of Achilles too, but I understand what you mean about the narrative voice feeling very feminine. This is a better book, I think.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618973352348296555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-1192110445615017472018-06-27T22:08:22.615-07:002018-06-27T22:08:22.615-07:00Yes, I feel blessed to have so many wonderful book...Yes, I feel blessed to have so many wonderful books to read!Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-50163554944419433042018-06-27T21:24:04.155-07:002018-06-27T21:24:04.155-07:00I know what you mean about the "to be read&qu...I know what you mean about the "to be read" pile.

I've had both of Madeline Miller's books on my reading wishlist for a long while, but already have such a huge 'to be read' pile that it may be a long while before reading her books.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-45577903940274347192018-06-27T16:04:09.326-07:002018-06-27T16:04:09.326-07:00I wasn't as prepared to read it but I liked it...I wasn't as prepared to read it but I liked it just the same.
