Circe_Madeline Miller

I think Miller did Circe justice in this book. To me, it felt fresh. After A touch of darkness, I was put off mythology retellings, but Circe grabbed me back.

I went on to read The Songs of Achilles also by Madeleine Miller and unfortunately it lost me, I have reviewed it separately. #booksoflemon8 #books #bookish #mythology #honestreview

I regret not reading this sooner!

You ever finish a book and immediately think “Why did I wait so long to read this???” That was me with these books. Whether it was the hype, my bad reading choices, or just pure stubbornness, I *avoided* them for way too long… and now? Regret. So much regret. These books deserved my attention YE

I love Epic the musical and with its vitality it felt like a good second installment of musicals as books. I love Greek mythology and retellings so when I found out someone was making a musical about Odyssey I was so excited. I remember seeing him posting audition videos on Tiktok telling people to

Books for the Epic the Musical Fans

Madeline Millers “Song of Achilles” and “Circe” are one of my favorite books of all time. As a person who grew up reading PJO books, I was so into Greek mythology. Later I got into the musical Epic which tells us the journey of Odyssey by Homer. The “Song of Achilles” is a book about the legacy

I’m still greatly enjoying the variety and balance of foods I get to enjoy as inspired by the book. I was able to put this goddess lunch together in 4 minutes. 90 minute rice, cucumber, tomato, onion all in the veggie chopper. Squeeze some lemon juice on top and sprinkle on some greens goddess seas
