Reading as a cheap hobby

Have just finished The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. It's about the Trojan War from the women's view. Quite violent in places but kept me up until after midnight to finish it. I've got part two from Libby so hope it's as good as the first

Second book I liked. Third one didn’t do it for me. If you like this, then you might also like A thousand ships by Natalie Haynes. 

From a woman’s perspective, but all of the women involved including mythical goddesses, et cetera. A different take, but just as good to read. 

Same for me.

I must look out for Natalie Haynes. Love her Radio 4 appearances, she is SO funny!

I’ve got tickets to go and see her latest show next week. I think it’s about her most recent book, which is about Medea and Jason and the Argonauts.
I’m slowly working my way through standing up for the classics on radio four. 🙂
