Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller

Fully bandwagon hopped and bought this book because of how much I was seeing it on Instagram and how much buzz it was getting. #noshame. On top of the fact that it was shortlisted for the 2019 Women's Prize, but lost out to An American Marriage, so that MUST mean I have great taste in…
