[emiliamilana]

I‘m looking for book recommendations. preferably one that really touched or inspired you in some way. one that stays on your mind even weeks, months or years after you‘ve read it.

thank you 🫶🏼🤍

-Circe and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Iam a fan of any Greek Myth interpretation or re-telling, but the way that Miller portrays and gets inside the heads of characters that have existed for thousands of years is incredibly unique and powerful. These books do not have to be read together as they just share a world, but would highly recommend both! Though just a side character in both, her Odysseus might be my favorite.

-The count of Monte Cristo

-1984 by George Orwell

-The Book Thief
