I am not sure how I came across this book, but it is excellent! I really enjoyed all the different perspectives on an array issues people face! Really thoughtful!!
27. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
There's been so much great buzz around Circe that I wanted to read it. Then I learned that Madeline Miller wrote this one first, so I checked it out. It's a great retelling of the story of Achilles from the perspective of Patroclus. He is from what I understand Achilles closest friend but not well-fleshed out in the Greek myths. This one does that.
28. The Devil and the Deep: Horror Stories of the Sea edited by Ellen Datlow
I love the sea and I love short stories, so when I saw this combination of the two I had to snatch it up. This is a great collection of scary stories of the sea. Some are truly horrifying and some are just spine-tingling, but they are all engaging!
29. The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas
This book is so good!! I devoured it! A page-turner indeed! The cast of characters is fascinating, the plot keeps you engaged, and there is a pleasing old school Doctor Who reference at the very beginning of the book.
30. The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark
I love reading stories about jinn. This wasn't about jinn exactly but jinn figure prominently in the story AND it is an alternate history of Egypt with tons of supernatural elements AND part of the alternate history was women demanding more rights! Yay!! (Plus I super loved the England part of this alternate history!)
I've read 30 books so far and 19 were by women, 8 by men, and 3 anthologies with both female and male authors two of which were mostly female authors. My year of reading lots of women is still going strong!!
