Circe

Even as everyone was talking up this book, I was hesitant to read it because despite my witchy interests, Greek mythology has never appealed to me. Circe was so well-written, though, that doesn't matter. The characters are so interesting and the epic stories that get incorporated into the plot actually feel natural. Fantasy has fallen out of my favorite genres since I was a kid, but reading Circe made me feel like I used to reading those fantasy books. Plus, it's basically my dream to be an immortal with alone on an island with only animals and sporadic visitors.
