Circe by Madeline Miller is a really interesting book about a woman who goes through a lot and learns to become stronger and more independent. It has magic, adventure, and Greek mythology. It’s an easy and enjoyable read.

Great book! Loved the twist and turns

Heartfelt story of a complex relationship between a mother and daughter

I listened to Elyse read her audiobook, and it was every bit as delightful as you would expect it to be coming from her. I laughed and cried, empathized and felt seen. Thank you, Elyse, for sharing yourself with the world.

4 stars! A great thriller where I did not guess the ending. I’ve heard the hype about this book since it came out and am so glad I finally got a chance to read it!

many books about institutionalization try to take a side on either institutionalization or deinstitutionalization - this book walks the line between both - emphasizing the major failures of both, because the reality is that both failed in catastrophic ways. finished this one on July 11th.

I enjoy the Women's Murder Club books a lot. They usually center around a particular murder mystery. This book, however, had three different plot lines, and the chapters kept jumping around. I found it disconcerting, so I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series.

Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.

Such a creative re-telling of the story of Achilles!

I enjoyed reading this while working sleepaway camp and needed something quick to get through. Loved the style too! Finished this on July 7th.
