Welcome to my personal book blog - Brown Flopsy's Book Burrow!!
I am mad about books in all their forms - paper books, e-books and audio books.
I review books and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter (X), Instagram and Threads (@brownflopsy).
I always give honest reviews of the books I have enjoyed, and the views expressed here are completely my own.
I am also a member of, and admin for, the SquadPod Collective bloggers group.

The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
Read April 2018.
Coming hot on the tale of Circe, my next read was also about the Greek myths.
This is a strange and short retelling of the story of Penelope, wife of Odysseus, as only Margaret Atwood can.
Margaret Atwood is not for everyone and although I have enjoyed some of her books, I am not sure if I really liked this.
The format of the chapters is a bit unusual, alternating between Penelope's narrative, and dramatic scenes told by a chorus of Greek maids. The bits by the maids were not really for me, but I did enjoy Penelope telling her side from beyond the grave.
A bit of a mixed bag.
