Welcome to Litsy!

I need to talk about Circe. It‘s beautifully written, without a doubt. But at 60% I‘m struggling a bit. I like Greek Mythology & I‘m familiar with the stories, but I quickly realized that I had to be in the mood for the topic to even pick Circe up. To quit such a well-written book seems totally wrong, but I‘m a little bored.#circe #botm

This book is so so good.

My September reads. I honestly loved all of them but I‘m really excited for the new series books like A Curse So Dark and Lonely, A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Black Witch. All really great series. #circe #cinder #cityofgirls #acursesodarkandlonely #theblackwitch #askagainyes #finalgirls #thenightingale #acourtofthornsandroses

I really enjoyed this book and am glad I listened to it despite of some of the bad reviews I saw beforehand. To me it was so much more than an island witch waiting for guys to sleep with. I loved listening to her transformation and the ending was perfect for me. And I highly recommend the audiobook because the narrator blew me away! I must find out what else she has narrated bc I could listen to her every day of my life. #circe #audiobook #library

I am a huge fan of Greek mythology. And the story of the Odyssey is one of my favorites. That being said, it was fascinating to read about Odysseus and some of the other characters from a completely fresh, new and interesting perspective. She makes classical literature fun. She makes adventure stories relatable, poignant and memorable. I will definitely pick up anything she writes. #recentlyread #nospoilers #mythology #CIRCE #yessss ❤️😊🎉

I bought a couple from B&N and my best friend gave me a bunch. These should keep me busy for a while.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

I‘m only a few chapters in and it‘s so captivating. The characters are on my mind long after I‘ve closed the book.
It‘s my second book by her, the first was Circe, another Greek mythology retelling. I absolutely adore Greek Mythology, always have so I can already tell I‘ll be eating this book up just like I ate Circe up. #thesongofachilles #greekmythology #mythology #greek #retelling #achilles #circe

So much praise for Circe and I genuinely believe it's based from Songs of Achilles. Circe is a badass witch, and I didn't get much of that. I lost count on how many times she or someone called her a fool. I didn't see growth in her until 360pg! It was disappointing, and wondered why did Miller decided to write about her after Achilles. Another reminder that not every book is for everyone. #bookreview #circe

#myopinion: I feel like I've been trying to read this book for a long a time. Well finally I'm about 80% done, so I thought I give my opinion on what I've read so far. To me, it starts off a bit slow, then it picks up, and then it dips back down again. Circe is well written, but overall the story is boring. I'd give it a 3/5..
