My sons enjoy Greek mythology and I've osmotically absorbed knowledge from their books and podcasts over the years. What a delight to pick up a buzzy adult novel from our New Fiction shelf and recognize many of the characters. Katharine McGee's Ungodly Rich imagines the members of the Pantheon walking amongst us as billionaires. Mortal Julia falls in love with "Harry" (Ares), much to the chagrin of the other goddesses. It falls into one of my favorite fiction categories of "Rich People Behaving Badly" but with this mythological twist. It's very clever and dishy and a fantastic summer read.

As for the kids, while they're definitely too young for the Nolan film, they loved Liv Albert's beautifully illustrated version of The Odyssey. (We also reliably love the Olympians series by George O'Connor and Greeking Out.)

If you're reading this on Friday morning when it hits inboxes, you'll be able to see this one last reminder about this afternoon's Find Waldo grand finale party at 3 pm. If you or your little searchers have found Waldo in 20+ locations, join us at the store this afternoon for a grand prize drawing and snacks.

Have a wonderful end to your July!
