Cupid gave Psyche ambrosia to make her immortal. Psyche opened the box to look beautiful for Cupid but the box only held the sleep of the dead. The third task is to take a box to Queen Proserpine in the land of the dead. The second task is to gather golden fleece from a ram. The first task is to sort a room filled with grains into three separate piles. Venus thinks of three tasks for Psyche to complete. Cupid lost trust in Psyche because she failed to follow his directions. The sisters encouraged Psyche to see Cupid when he is sleeping to know how ugly he appears. Cupid tells Psyche that he can be kind if she does not see him. Psyche goes to live with Cupid but Cupid remains invisible. Cupid accidentally hit himself with the arrow and fell in love with Psyche. Venus sent her son named Cupid to hit the ugliest creature with his bow to make Psyche fall in love with a beast. People would see and compare her to Venus. Psyche was beautiful but was not married. Also, beauty has disadvantages and advantages. The importance of trust and following directions is the topic.

The words leave a lot of space for reminiscing and imagination, and for discussion about how we’ve lived since the pandemic broke out. The story is told in rhyme, chronicling the isolation Covid forced on us all in 2020. It’s a story about the pandemic without mentioning it by name. It’s a very urban-looking, American-looking book. This is a book that had to come out fast! About children living in lockdown, though the blurb says it’s about kids from different parts of the world, the illustrations have a very New York feel. Windows by Patrick Guest and Jonathan Bentley Written from Patrick’s own experience of having to leave the family home due to his son’s Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Windows shows how five kids from different parts of the world connect and draw strength from their communities from behind the safety of their own windows. Windows is an uplifting story of how humanity has pulled together during the Coronavirus pandemic. Weeks I have waited with bated breath for this and when it finally landed on my doorstep two days ago, I whooped. Needless to say, I had been waiting anxiously for this third volume to finally arrive in the UK. Especially because the premise is based on the idea that a super being is necessarily equipped with the right psyche to be a super hero. The premise of this series is one that appeals to me as a reader and reading about the fear felt, the terror spread when the world’s greatest superhero turns its greatest villain has been a great journey.

This is book one of the Iron Druid Chronicles series. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

One night I was tripping for the last time with my best friend who was about to move to another state. I'd flipped through it and thought it was just a collection of philosophical sayings in the form of trippy graphics (which it is, mostly.) I noticed a copy at Ashanti's house, which impressed me, but not enough to actually start reading it. It was one of many that my husband brought home from work and left around the house so someone would find it at just the right time. |
