I started reading "Greek Mythology- A Traveler's Guide from Mount Olympus to Troy" by David Stuttard.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Re: What Are You Reading? Jan. 2023
I’m reading a book I’ve received to review - How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent. Self explanatory really! My husband keeps asking me if it’s any good!!

Re: What Are You Reading? Jan. 2023
I’m reading The Secrets of Elloughton Park by Stephen Taylor, a dual timeline mystery set during the present day and the 19thC in Bristol and London.
I'm also reading via Pigeonhole The Girl in the Red Coat by Kate Hamer. It’s about a girl who disappears at a story telling festival. It’s an older book but there is an option to apply for an ARC of the sequel, The Lost Girls, if I enjoy it.

Re: What Are You Reading? Jan. 2023
I’m reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George which is about a bookseller who solves people’s problems with a book, that’s about the gist of it!
I’m also reading via Pigeonhole The Interpreter by Brooke Robinson, a psychological thriller, sort of self explanatory.

Is that the one where the bookshop is on a boat? I read that a few years ago.
I'm about to start the first in the Rocco Schiavione series, "Black Run" by Antonio Manzini, it's now a TV series which I love.
