( Circe was also on that list but I already had a shiny, new copy at home so I couldn’t buy it again. One of them was an extremely popular title that also happened to fall within the Greek mythology theme: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Ten per cent off everything, suckas! I walked up to the bookstore and with my wishlist in hand I pulled three titles from the shelves that were near the top of the list. It was okay, though, because not only did I have a bookstore within walking distance, I also had a coupon left for me on the dresser for said bookstore. (I did do that a few times, too.) So mid-week, I had out-read the few books on the bedside table. If I had put in enough hours writing on any given day, I chose slowly winding my brain down most nights instead of burning the midnight oil and then crashing with a buzzing cerebrum. I kept the bibliopacking list slim but it turned out that my late evenings were spent mostly reading. When I was on my writing residency this year, I actually didn’t bring enough books.
