My reading list for the month of October.
Epic of Helinthia by M. J. Pankey.
I received a copy of Epic of Helinthia by M. J. Pankey from NetGalley. It is set in Ancient Greece, and Greek Mythology plays a part throughout the story. These two aspects intrigued me because it is something I haven’t read about too much. The story follows Dargos, who believes that the decay of the island of Helinthia is a punishment from the Gids because a madman sits on the throne. He forms a group in hopes of starting a rebellion to overthrow the king and restore the island.
Solid Objects by Virginia Woolf.
Solid Objects is a short story written by Virginia Woolf. Her writing though is amazing, and I have managed to finish her novels; I find it heavy to read. So, a short story will be easier than a full-length novel, and I haven’t read any of Woolf’s short stories. The story follows John, who collects objects and finds joy in them to escape from reality.
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn.
When I saw the first season of Bridgerton, I didn’t know much about this series. Then, I read the first one and then the second before the release of the 2nd season. I have been waiting to read Penelope and Colin’s story since the beginning, and I planned to read it just before the 3rd season releases. But I have run out of patience, so I am going to read it now. Penelope is such a fascinating character, and her one-sided love and longing for Colin Bridgerton will finally evolve into something more in this story. I am excited to finally start reading it.
