Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I have been curious about this book for so many months now. I've been hearing that it is very popular on BookTok. But for some reason, I am not on BookTok. I just let the TikTok algorithm show me what I need to see. Hahaha!

Anyway...

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was released a few years back. I saw a video on YouTube of a YouTuber I had just recently subscribed to talking about this book. Her video was a while back.

I read the book without any expectations. This year, when I committed to reading again, I said to myself, I am not going to lean on the genres I usually read. I will the Universe tell me what I need to read.

You will never guess what The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is about, I'm sure everyone who has read it thought that this was an autobiography or biography, at first glance. You will also never guess the plot twist.

If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do. I read it in January and I am re-reading it now for Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈

 

The Song of Achilles

 Have you heard about this book? This was one of the books that the Universe told me to read. Maybe because I can relate?

I was drawn to this book probably because I had an obsession with Greek Mythology inspired by Percy Jackson. I have read all the Percy Jackson and The Olympians. As well as all the Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. 

The Song of Achilles was the story of Achilles, the demi-god, and his companion Patroclus. Theirs was a forbidden love for in that period, same-sex love was not recognized yet. Patroclus was not even sure if Achilles felt the same. But he loved him. Achilles showed him that he loves Patroclus in his own way.

It's set in the Trojan War when Menelaus started a war to get his wife, Helen of Troy, back from Paris.

I read it in January and I am re-reading it now for Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈
