Reading Recs for the Long Weekend

I’m not sure what’s more exciting: two four-day working weeks or the four-day weekend sandwiched in between. Either way, happy Easter everyone!

For my part, I’m going to be reading a bit of Homer for my MOOC, polishing off Tricia Sullivan’s Occupy Me and then making a dent in my TBR. Top of the list I’ve got:
