Circe | Madeline Miller

4⭐️ Despite the rating I gave, I really struggled through the book; felt that some of the early chapters where too wordy and that she took too much time to describe things that didn‘t seem to really fit into the narrative. But once I got into the back half of the book, it really flew by. #2025 #bookreview #mythology #retellings #fiction #historicalfiction #bookreview

When the World Fell Silent | Donna Jones Alward

pick

3.75⭐️ I really liked the concept of the story, but I felt that it was written just a little too simplistic. I also really liked that she wrote a book based on an event that is rarely used as the basis for a book. #2025 #bookreview #wwi #halifaxexplosion #canadianfiction #historicalfiction

Homecoming | Kate Morton

pick

4.75⭐️ I really liked this book. The reason for the 1/4 drop is that I felt that the author spent a bit too much time in the book within a book and it could have been condensed down a bit and that Jess could have used her investigative reporting skills a little more than she did. That being said, I quite honestly liked how the book unfolded. I will say nothing more. #2025 #bookreview #bookclub #historicalfiction #fiction

The Conference of the Birds: Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children | Ransom Riggs

Her task was not even complete when the first ymbryne alighted on the sill of her open window.
When each call was answered, she said only one thing.
“He‘s back.”

Go as a River: A novel | Shelley Read

pick

4.75⭐️ I think I first heard about the book through either Sarah‘s Bookshelves Live or Currently Reading, but whichever podcast I heard about the book from, I knew that I would have never heard about it if not for them. I flew through the book and it took me less than 24 hours from starting it to finishing it. I really liked the way the author told the story. Probably one of my favourites for #2025. #bookreview #historicalfiction #fiction
