Icon Saving a Bright Mind

Post by Scarlet22 »

I am stuck in a predicament. I have not been able to find a book that interests me. I have mainly read books regarding greek mythology or history. I have read a couple of mystery books, but have not had the connection with a book for quite some time. I really want to find a book that can spark my imagination. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you like Greek mithology, you're going to love "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller. It's one of my most favorite novels ever and I'm not even into mithology like that.

It's the book I'm currently reading.
I'm obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology since I was 9, but I was hesitant to read it because I thought it's too popular for me.
When I read the first chapter, I couldn't put it down! I love writing style.

I don’t read Greek mythology. I am a heavy mystery/thriller/ suspense reader. If you are interested in trying some out- , some really good ones are Pearl River Mansion ( quite long but definitely worth the read), Sistrr of Mine by Laurie Petrou, The Hate You Give ( which is also a movie) by Angie Thomas, No Bad Deed by Heather Chavez, The Secret Mother by Shalini Boland I have so many other great one but don’t want to flood you with too many. Hope this helps and lmk if you end up trying any of those:)
