A few months ago I stumbled upon the book Sparrow by Sarah Moon. I was not that sure whether I wanted to read it, but decided to give it a go. On the other hand, Circe by Madeline Miller has been on my tBR for more than a year. Two totally different books, but I will bring them together in this mini-reviews post.







Sparrow by Sarah Moon





  • Representation: social anxiety
  • Trigger warnings: an attempt to commit suicide








To be honest, I had difficulties getting used to the timeline, it took me a while before I could get the hang of it. However, when continuing reading, I really noticed Sparrow's growth and how she managed to live with her social anxiety. This book is more middle-grade than young adult, but it fits both age ranges well.



Circe by Madeline Miller









This book has been on my TBR for more than a year. I finallly picked it up and I'm glad I did. It's an easy book to read, despite the many many names of Greek gods. I still can't remember them, but that was already the case back in school, so no surprises there. I managed to finish this book in a few days and I actually have nothing to say about it.
