1. The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Emily Wilson - I really love The Odyssey, but I really did not like this translation. I honestly might read another translation this year since this didn't really scratch the itch for me.
2. The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett M. Graff - My mom mentioned this one to me multiple times before I finally started listening and it was SO good. The audiobook was incredible, and I came away with such a different perspective of Sept 11. Especially was interested in the Pentagon portion - so much that I didn't know before.
3. Funny Story by Emily Henry - I really enjoyed this one, even if it felt the most unrealistic of any of her books. But I love her writing and I flew through this. I think my enjoyment was especially heightened since this was a much needed dose of levity after the previous book.
4. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez - Not my favorite. I liked parts of it, but too much trauma in my romance novel.
5. Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters - This was a fun mystery! This is the first in the Amelia Peabody mystery series. I liked the adventure, the Egypt setting, and the main detective was a delight. A very pleasant read - will be reading more in this series!
