Amazing! Thank you Brooklyn!

You guys have no idea how useful it is when you post your books here with all the details.

I listened to the audio version of this a month or so ago and would have loved to read this with you all. Ah well.

I found them quite interesting and am sure you all will have a lot to talk about!

Ohhhhhh I didn't know he had written Aristotle and Dante! I've been meaning to read that book for a while

(Team Tonks)

Finished!

Sounds good Heather! Let us know if you get stuck

Yup. I would say so.

Yeah I thought of that last night.
I did some investigating in other teams (sneaky) and found that no one else has used sky/skies. So, we will have to find another two books for Astronomy

That would be great Amanda! I don't really know how long it will take me to read my book. I have so many lined up in June

Ah I thought Galatea was a novel but I see it's a short story

My mistake

I've found these so far

I was thinking of reading for the 2nd part of levitation charm

Has/can anyone read a book with a flower bouquet on the front cover that we can use?

Thanks Teri! I've added both of them in! Spell is fine with Onyx and thank you for trying
Let us know when you finish the B.R. for The Coppersmith Farmhouse

Sorry Nicole. I thought I have replied last night. Apparently I didn't.

That sounds great! I saw that you added in books for Astronomy

Works for me!

Do you want to start on July 10th or even later?"

July 10th is fine! :D

Finished! All in all, I thought it was a good book and a good re-telling of Circe and her life. I enjoyed seeing her grow up and live her life with her family and without, and then make a new one. The portrayals of the gods, goddesses, demigods and mortals of the Olympians were in line with what I've been taught about. Their characteristics were not surprising and did not offend me as it's what I expected.

This was my first Madeline Miller book and I think I will definitely pick up another. Probably the Achilles one.

Good luck Lauri! Hopefully you fair better with it than most of us did
