The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Bloomsbury, 2011.

This is so good that is wrecked my ability to read anything for nearly a month.

Superb writing, deft craft, and the absolute beauty of the tale kept me spellbound. 

My heart still aches when I think of it.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Circe by Madeline Miller

Published by Little, Brown, & Co., 2018

I put off reading this, even though I was completely intrigued. I was afraid of being let down by a retelling of one of my favorite minor, often-overlooked goddesses.

I need not have worried. 

Circe is lyrical and beautiful, an homage to the myth, and everything I ever wanted out of a Greek tale of heroes and gods. 

This is everything that it should be, and deserves all the praise that has been richly heaped upon it.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians:Book Two: the Sea of Monsters

The first book in the series made me fall in love with it & with its characters. Now, with the second, I find something nearly equal to Percy's debut. I feel, however, that the Lightning Thief will not be surpasssed for a long, long time.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians,Book one:the Lightning thief

ok,first,a note:from now on,I will be giving books a 1-5 star rating (this is a star * ).OK,anyway,I really like this book.It's all about a kid with a great destiny. It involves a LOT of greek mythology,so if you don't like that stuff then...ITT'L STILL BE AWESOME!And now,my rating:*****!
