pickBeautifully written. It's my 2nd from this author, amd while I didn't love it as much as Circe, it was still a great read! This was my July #Doublespin. @TheAromaofBooks

One from my Troy collection. A favorite topic of mine.
so-soOk so I love mythology. Was this retelling needed? Now I have read the reviews and I‘m thinking we need to bring back mythology so that we don‘t have to reread stories in a way that are kind of ridiculous? Anyone else feel this way…I did like the story as a whole but the “added” aspects?!
so-so3/5 stars
The first half had me thinking this would be a 4.5 star read, unfortunately the second half was really boring and disappointing. The ending picked it up a lot and had me tearing up, but on the whole was quite slow and not what I expected
pickI chose Circe for Bookclub a couple of years ago, and am now glad to have read this, Miller‘s first novel.
Whilst a ‘pick‘ I did not love it. The characters felt a bit flat and I was not particularly emotionally invested. An interesting take the relationship between Patroclus & Achilles.
Finally getting into this. It‘s been on my radar since I joined Litsy many years ago, when it seemed that everyone on Litsy was reading it. I found this well-read copy in my Little Street Library. Bonus 🙌. #currentlyreading
Took this photo to show my coworker my giant mint plant and book for scale. Loving this so far!
I am half way. But this book is so slow and borning in my opinion. Does is get better? Is it like those books that you get to the last 100 pages and thats when its exciting?
