it was amazing

OH.MY. GOODNESS. WHY? WHY? And WHYYYYY did I wait too long to read this! BIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP(Right now I’m calling myself so nasty names! If I write them down, I’m sure my goodreads page will be closed  So after the bippp tone I’m coming back!)
I came back. Still pissed off myself. So what do we have? I don’t want to fill this page to describe how I devoured each page of it and how I literally fell in love with this book because words are not enough for me! Anything I write here will not be enough to show my adoration. They will be just mediocre fan woman expressions which are not meaningful enough to express my feelings. So I’m not gonna waste your time with my unnecessarily wordy review and irritate your eyes. No words can define this book. PERIOD!



This is fantastic retelling of Greek mythology and rare combination of magic, backstabbing characters, bloodshed, intrigue, power games. I’m so happy for my time management to create extra time to read this precious gem! (Working, reading, drinking, watching and irritating your husband takes too much time so I reduce my sleep time and now I got so many offers from Walking Dead casting calls to be their long term zombie extra!)

My top ten reads exceeded number ten, I have to formulate another plan to categorize my all time favorite books but I’m so sure this book already earned its place at the top of my list. I should reread it after a few months later.

I highly recommend you to listen to its audiobook. Perdita Weeks achieved a dreamy job . She perfectly captured the soul of the book and expressed this soul with her lyrical, effective voice that penetrates into our hearts.

Nilufer Ozmekik Thank you Misty. Happy reading 📚🤗


Elvina Zafril Great review!


Nilufer Ozmekik Thank you Elvina 🤗🤗


Catherine I cannot believe you waited all this time to read Circe. All those years in the dark, in a blissful ignorance, without realizing that your life was so utterly incomplete, and... all right, it was published in 2018, so I might be a bit dramatic. Anyway, this book is amazing and you could only love it.


Nilufer Ozmekik I agree every word you say! Yes, I was still living in a blissful ignorance because there are still so much to catch on and I have to sleep less and order better contact lenses( those dry bastards glued to my eyes, I cannot get them out of my eyes!) But yes, you’re right! I should have read it sooner! 😔😔😔
