Hii! Quick question did you ever finished writing the book cause I would LOVE to read it since that first snippet you read was SO good omg

I've just read Atalanta by Jennifer Saint, and it was excellent. I've had Psyche & Eros in my Audible library for a while, and this discussion has made me even more hyped to read it. Love the sound of the new book too! Medea is a fascinating figure. I'm a mythology novice, but I love how these modern stories, and your channel, make learning more accessible.

Wonderful interview! I just bought the novel after listening to your fascinating conversation. 😊

I know this video is over 1 year old, but seeing as you mentioned you were kind of disappointed with the depiction of Medusa in the Percy Jackson movies, I would love to hear your opinion about how they changed her character in the new Disney+ tv show if you have seen it. Personally, I think it brought her closer to the original myths and it added more depth to her as a person and not as a monster, but I'm not an expert on Greek Mythology and I would like to see what one thought about it

Maybe if you have more retellings you could do a shelf of just those?

What are you talking about everything you studied n school is all crap lie I'm telling you is no such a thing ancient Greece period that was the biggest scam of century bullshiting the world Greece Greece is no Greece people never existed go look it the old maps if you can find Greece anywhere you will never be able to find it why people don't get it just because you learn it wrong now you just wanna belive the lie that was iliria ilirian people today's albanianian people this are the ancient people Greece was made up nation how can they be Greeks if they made up this nation as far as lenguage it is constructed lenguage same as Latin Greeks of today 60 % are albanianians 20 slavik and another 20% they are turks roma people arabs mix of other so they call themselves greek which is nothing to do with greek she mentioned the word barbarians that is albanianian word which bar bar means equal even or equality this people they were very just people but n same time toughest people and scholars they struggle with the word to find what doest it mean I just explained what it means so do you own searching don't believe what u learn n school because Europe the falsified history made up things which now people know better AI will reveal the truth soon the truth will soon come out .

It´s a dream! Thank you for this content.

Subbed

Beautiful town near the river

You and Chris in that last clip, so cute🥰

Check out the book "The Goddess Letters" if you can find it. I haven't read it in like 25 years but it's a more honest retelling and goes over the traumas that she experiences and how she deals with it.

Looks so cool! Definitely adding it to my travel bucket list

have u read wing of fire

As a historian specialised in cultural heritage, I would say that for the most part it is a very fulfilling degree to get and experience, it was a lot of fun, sadly, the reality is that when it comes to get a job afterwards, especially with only a bachelor's degree is next to useless.

Loved this video! I really should look into visiting Hay-on-Wye when I visit the UK again :) Can I ask what the book on Witchcraft is with the painting of Circe on the cover? :)

I completed my Bachelor's in Business Administration. Can I pursue a Master's in History? Which UK university would be ideal for this transition?

yea i cant take you seriously you didn't mention any of the classics

I adored Hay on Wye too when I went this year. I kept saying that I was so happy! It was incredible to be somewhere with so many bookworms around me. My favourite speaker at the festival was Jeanette Winterson. She is a fantastic orator! I discovered an amazing campsite called Raquety Farm which is above the village.

What a dream destination! Thanks for taking us with you. 📚🤎

Absolute dream to visit there! Fun fact: Canada only has one book town, and I live right next to it, but it only has 6 shops.

Hay-on-Wye is such a charming bookshop town and the Gay-on-Wye is an adorable queer bookshop. 🏳️‍🌈 Glad you enjoyed the town and festival. 📚

So charming! It’s absolutely on my bucket list.

Thanks for this classical bookish inspiration!

Loved this! By the way, my friend wrote a book about female friendships, sexuality, and living with endometriosis. It's called Gender Theory (by Madeline Docherty). You'd maybe like it or the people who watch the videos!

Ooooo love the bookshelves and am looking for something similar for my house as I want shallow bookcases as well! Where are they from please? 😊

I don't understand why I wasn't subscribed - been watching for years. KZfaq can be really weird sometimes. The shelves look great. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Congrats🎉

Ook!

Nicely done Jean. Looks wonderful! Sooooo .... once you're done there how's about coming for a little visit to Canada and giving me a hand organizing and shelving my book collection in our new condo??? There's only about 2000 books to be spread around the place. It'll be fun! I'll provide the tea. Please respond soonest .... I'm a bit overwhelmed here!!!

So pretty :) You did a very good job! Did you like the Walter Moers books? And have you read the last one of the mirror visitor? I would like to see everything home/organising related :)

They look sooooo good!!! And I love your shelving unit with all the sprayed edges!!🤩

Hi

I sort my books by 1. genre, 2. read/not read, 3. author/collection, and 4. size/shape. Sorting them into read and not read makes it very easy to find the next book to read. Because I am quite easily distracted and I have my bookcases in the bedroom, it's more important that the books blend in with each other than creating absolute order. A small book placed between two large ones will not do.

Im not sure if youve ever gotten to the other books but i have to stand by Annabeths thoughts on Aphrodite and Demeter. NOT BECAUSE SHES RIGHT!! But because her character has deep misogynistic values due to her being forced to believe the only thing of value is brains and brawn. Honestly shes a bit mean in the first two books, but grows out of it. I feel like Annabeth is inadvertently a very relatable example of what growing up as a young girl is like (constantly putting other girls down "pick me") which is in direct contrast with Percys idealistic view of women due to Sally. Rick makes a lot a mistakes but that comment wasnt one of them i think.

I love those mass market editions of Terry Pratchett's books, those are the versions I read as a kid. I've slowly started collecting all the books in those editions when I find them secondhand.

Ook!

The weird sizes! YES! 100% agreed!

I also find myself stumbling over the alphabet when redoing my books, so I've just written it down on a small piece of card stock. Makes life a lot easier 😅

I love so much that you adore older MMPB fantasy and Sci fi covers. They've got some of the best art! I love them too! 🥰

You did a great job! It looks so nice when it all comes together.

Sometimes I just like to a read a book 😂😂😂. I love the sub genre myself but while I'm super Scottish in my ancestry... I'm just an American. 😂😂. Enjoyed the vid. I enjoy all the cliched romances in general. Be they Scottish Irish English or cowboy. 😂😂😂.

YAY!!! She's back!

Girl organizing Star Wars books in timeline order is a chore in and of itself!!! Great job on these shelves. They look so good!!

I was so happy to see the Terry Pratchett books 😊 I have a whole bookcase for him as I was very silly and started getting the collector's library editions whilst also keeping my original editions 😂

Your bookshelves are gorgeous. 📚 The height difference in books bugs me too. Why can't publishers make them the same size?

It looks amazing 😍💗

Brilliant! A place for everything, and everything in its place!📚🧡

you have convinced me with your sincerity and knowledge: Congratulations on your Ph.D! I am now a subscriber.....

the sequel to this poison heart felt like it was written in one afternoon unfortunately

No poetry genre containing the collected fragments by Sappho?
