i loveeee greek mythology. i first read this book in middle school during my percy jackson phase, and i’ve read it many times since. i find it so interesting, and i think the way the stories are told in this book are a really great introduction to classic stories. this is my super beat up copy i’ve had for years

by madeline miller - truly one of the best books ever written!!! it’s such a beautiful adaptation of the original song, and i think it’s such a beautiful and timeless story. if you’re interested in greek mythology (since ur percy jackson ofc!!) and lgbtq+ historical stories i think u would really like this!!

sobbed so hard all the way through the last few chapters of this… beautifully written, even if you aren’t typically someone who gravitates towards Greek mythology

I read this book almost 2 years ago now, and it's been a book I find myself thinking about on and off randomly when just sitting and drinking my morning mudā„¢ļø. It's the tale of Circe, a daughter of gods, and her battle with the gods' perspective on "mortals" and her own in contrast. This story bends genres, between mythical fantasy/folk tale, family drama, and romance. Circe feels like a classic folk tale you might read while researching Greek history, and stays true to the mythology while keeping its very readable appeal.
