I’m reading Circe by Madeline Miller. This is taking quite a while for me to read. It’s quite involving and it’s taking some time getting my head round all the Greek gods/mortals’ names and what they represent.
I’m also reading Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware via the Pigeonhole app. It’s a haunted house psychological thriller set in Scotland.

I just started rereading Ancient Lives- Daily Life in Egypt of the Pharaohs by John Romer. (NF)
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!
