Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, one of my favorite Greek retellings, I mean, apart from Percy Jackson, of course, is, um, Psyche and Eros by Luna McLamara som- um, I can't remember her last name, but it is just such a gorgeous retelling.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, and it's got this, like, pink and gold cover and, um, she just describes the characters so beautifully that I remember I went, um, like I visited Greece a couple months after I read the book, and I walked into this little store and I saw, like the, it was a little store selling little statues, and I saw this really gorgeous one and I, I think it's a replica of an actual, like, big statue that they have.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, and I was like, I, I have to have it, like, I just, I love them so much.

Is it, like, people's intro into Greek myths and how much they love them? [laughs]

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Yes, or [laughs] like if, if you talk to my parents they would tell you that I could not stop talking about these [laughs] when I was a kid.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, and it, um, started, like, a very lifelong love for Greek mythology, um, to the point where I've gone back to Greece many times and I'm actually learning Greek as, [laughs] as we speak.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, but yeah, and so something about, like, even though it's set in America, um, I just, I just loved it so much.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Like, we've got Percy, the main character, and then obviously he's got his two best friends, which is Annabeth and, and Grover.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
Um, but you, it's just such a found family, and then something so exciting about them going to this summer camp, and then they get assig- oh, not assigned different houses, but, you know, you find out who your, your Greek god is as a parent.

Isabella FrancisGUEST
And I just remember, like, my sister and I, we would spend such a long time being like, "Okay, so who's, like, your Greek god as a parent?"
