November Book Club REVIEW
Added 2020-12-01 19:01:01 +0000 UTCI'm only a few pages away from finishing November's Book Club choice - Circe (you can buy it here if you want)! I know a lot of people read it this month (or had already read it) - so, without too many spoilers, how did you guys like it? What's your rating out of 5?
When I first started Circe, I thought: "Oh honey, what have you done. This is going to be terrible." But I was so wrong!
While the first part of the book was a bit hard for me to get into, once I got hooked, I got hooked. Even though the story is about a goddess, titans, Olympians, Greeks and tragedy, there is SO much to be learned from this book. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad that I gave it a shot (cheers to whoever recommended it!) A solid 4/5 from me!
I haven't decided on a December book just yet, but we'll let you guys know if I choose one. Overall, I'm really happy to Circe and hope to finish it in a few days!

2020-12-01 19:32:30 +0000 UTCI loved this book! Always liked mythology but what you often find is that they’re told from a male view point. Women are often seen as evil, temptresses & you never really see the other side or how they get there. This book gives you both & while she’s not always the best person, she’s literally been to hell & back! I had a real affinity for this story, 5/5 for me 👍

2020-12-01 19:28:40 +0000 UTCI finished Circe on Sunday, if you like Greek mythology this is the book for you. It weaves classic stories together, giving you a better understanding of how the events came about. And just how vindictive Greek gods could be. Beverley.
