It’s July, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey lands in theaters this Friday, and we are here whether we like it or not. Shirin said it best when we sat down: As much as I try to get away from Greek mythology, it just keeps coming back and finding me. And I’m like, oh god. I guess we have to talk about this again. So we did. This is less a review (that part comes after we actually watch the thing) and more an honest sit-down about a question we cannot stop asking. The Odyssey is roughly 3,000 years old.

Neither of us walked into this one expecting much, and that instinct turned out to be correct. Enola Holmes 3 dropped on Netflix on July 1, the third entry in a franchise we have covered on Fully-Booked since the beginning. We wanted to like it. We really did. What we got is a film that looks lovely, moves politely, and disappears from your memory about eleven minutes after the credits roll.

Summer is here. The solstice has officially come and gone; the days are long and hot, and the question we keep coming back to is: what are you reading? In this episode of Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast, Meaghan and Arthur ditched the usual format and did something a little more laid back. No adaptation dissection, no deep dive into a single title. Just recommendations. Books that felt right for this time of year.
