10/10 Book: Circe by Madeline Miller
Circe by Madeline Miller is a beautifully written reimagining of the life of Circe, the witch from Greek mythology best known for her appearance in The Odyssey. The novel is a character-driven exploration of identity, power, and transformation, told from Circe’s perspective. Themes include identity and transformation, feminine strength, mortality and humanity. Miller’s lush prose brings a fresh perspective to ancient myths, turning Circe into a relatable and complex heroine. The book blends mythology with a deeply human story, making it both a homage to and a reinvention of Greek lore. Get that fire raging, make some infused hot cocoa (see below) and dive right in to this perfect book. No notes.

2. Add in your chocolate and decarbed ground cannabis and stir until the chocolate is melted.
