None of these were on my TBR until now. Also, I'm going to need to you to hype my book when it's published. You have a gift, for describing books in a way that makes me have to read it now.
You've got an island thing going on, I like it! But oh my God, am I going to have to attempt yet another Kuang? Katabasis sounds almost good, but I have not had any luck getting through the others.
This is a great list! Some were already on my TBR, and they all are now! That Persuasion retelling sounds awesome (one of my favorite stories), and I teach Antigone and can’t wait to read that retelling. Thanks!
Wow, I rarely see a list of recommended books where I haven't read or even heard of a single one, and I love it! I love your classic-connected interpretation this month! I tried my hand at making a list, but leaned much more into retellings or direct connections: https://courtneydenker.substack.com/p/5-on-five-classics-connected?r=nk1lw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Love your choices. We both have Wide Sargasso Sea! Of course we do.
