pickCirce the daughter of Helios, the Sun, is exiled to a deserted island after her dabblings into witchcraft land her in trouble with Zeus.
I didn't know Circe's story before I read this, so I don't know how true to the oringinal legends it is. It was well told and a very interesting story. Definitely going to read Madeline Millar again.
Using this as my Re-telling prompt for #readingwidelychallenge and as Alternate Worlds for #AutumnBookBinge
pickThe story of two teenagers who meet when Eleanor sits next to a very reluctant Park. Slowly they become friends and then boyfriend and girlfriend. I've read a few YA books recently and have found the teen angst a bit tiresome at times, this had none of this. Oh how I loved this book. I laughed out loud, I cried, I worried about the characters. So glad that I included this on my #bookspin list. Thank you @TheAromaofBooks #readingwidelychallenge
pickOh my gosh, what to say about this one. Spiegelman has created a heart-breaking story based on his father's experience surviving Auschwitz. I could hear his father voice and think he did a wonderful job. I'm using this to tick off the graphic novel prompt for my #readingwidelychallenge. This was my first graphic novel and it was a great introduction. I would highly recommend this one.
Today was my day to commute and I was so engrossed in this today I almost missed my stop. Oh my heart.
pickI really enjoyed my first (well two) Agatha Raisin mysteries. I'd not read M. C. Beaton before but I have added the third book to my TBR list. I'm a big fan of the TV series and whilst there are some distinct differences the essence of the two remain the same. A good fun read. And I'm using it for the British crime novel prompt for my #readingwidelychallenge with my library.
