I used to shrivel inside whenever I received a damaged-in-transit book. Now I’m more like, this book needs extra love. This one is The Odyssey, (beautifully) translated by Daniel Mendelsohn. Dented, a bit torn ❤️

Currently listening to A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike. I like audiobooks, they conjure up the tradition of oral storytellers, but the other day I browsed through a physical copy of the novel at the local bookshop and I didn’t recognise the narrator’s voice. Good or bad, not sure.
