How's Circe? I've heard so much about it.

get the book. its really inspiring. talk about mistake, strength, overcoming the impossible, forgiveness, being true to oneself and redemption.

in fact i prefer this to song of archiles..plus point if u like greek mythology.

is this mc likeable? i hate a shitty character more than anything tbh

i like her... but some might say the book talks about feminism. but i rather see her as a women/mother and she is the mc.


anyhow its only less than rm50 for the book now and less than 350 pages.. don't like then won't cost u much.

if don't like then try name of the wind

read it. i find it pleasantly relaxing, addictive and sad in a way.
And i like it because most greek mythology has always been all about men, men and more men, so it's very refreshing to actually read it from a women's pov. Don't expect something epic or breath-taking. But it was nice and enthralling enough that i finished the book in one go.

I'm currently reading Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

Super slow start, but now I wish i could have more time to indulge in it once you get past all the introductory plots

The Hunt For Red October by Tom Clancy

My first Tom Clancy, very technical and Tom Clancy does not shortchange when it comes to facts in fictitious writing, somewhat enjoyable because it is a lot realistic but my mind wanders off not wanting to understand naval jargons and abbreviations.

Might go for another Tom Clancy but I’m not hopeful of enjoying it in future.

I am currently reading "Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World that can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain.

I've finished Circe le, i am more prefer the song of achilles, for me circe is more tragedies more painful story to read, i felt intense 😂

Forget about this Priory of the Orange Tree. At the end of it I find myself regretting all the time I have wasted in this trash book. xD

reading the Kite Runner. got it for rm5

Finished Scarlet, the 2nd book in the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I don't know why it took me 7 years to finally read this series and it pains me so much to realize all the times I could've spent reading this badass story instead of the trashy ones.

Agree with what you've said! It takes few serious reads before one can start enjoying books with such jargons/abbreviation. I've read 'Against All Enemies' few years ago. Not bad actually, since I'm into those political thriller or army related books

I'm currently reading David Baldacci's 'The Forgotten'. It's the second installment of the John Puller series

David Baldacci’s so much easier as compared to Tom Clancy haha

I suggest you to pick up Lee Child too

i am not sure i am in the right place...i am looking for something motivational...any suggestions?

I did. But, felt bored midway

Some of Jack Reacher’s books are bad like that but I love the character haha

Reading the Irishman at the moment.

Try "The Salt Path"

Reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games) right now, 60% into the book and the storyline and POV are still freaking boring.
