I can’t speak highly enough of Circe, though I know not everyone feels that way. The mythology did not appeal to me at all, but I ended up enjoying it very much and remembering more than I’d expected. I feel confident it’s a top ten book for this year.

In reply to Jade @ Reading With Jade. thanks so much for stopping by Jade. My porch is great and I'm sure your garden is, too. I hope your May is wonderful in books and life!

I recently finished Tangerine and liked it quite a bit. It reminded me of The Talented Mr. Ripley quite a bit (movie/book) … it had that creepiness and obsession! I was impressed by this debut author and thought she did a good job with it. And I didn’t think I wanted to read Circe (b/c of its mythology aspect) but since you liked it a lot — I will rethink and perhaps put it on my list.

It sounds like April has been kind to you with reading material – I imagine your front porch to be a lovely place to sit & read, just watching the world go by. I’ve been reading in the garden a bit more, with some rare hot days here in the UK, but I definitely think I need to get some shade coverage out there before summer itself arrives because that is something I’ve been battling with when reading outdoors.

Circe is a book that has been on my radar (as with everyone else), however your thoughts have intrigued me more based off your review as well as the comment you left on my blog regarding it. Some interesting posts shared at the end there – off to check those out now. A lovely month of May to you!

In reply to Annie. I know what you mean about the reviews sometimes. That's why I was so surprised to see one almost a year old pop up with so many views last month. Hope your May reading is all you're hoping for.

In reply to Allison. You're welcome, Allison. The steak scene in FP drove me nuts because I was so hungry when I read it, but of course had nothing like that in my house!

In reply to Rachel @ Never Enough Novels. I adored Eleanor last spring and Circe is my girl this spring. I hope you get a copy soon.
